A) 10 B) 20 C) 40 D) 80 Answer: C Explanation: Clarify Question • What is the key concept addressed by the question? The question asks about calculating the mass of an atom. • What type of thinking is required? You are being asked to apply the definition of atomic mass to calculate an atomic mass. • What key words does the question contain and what do they mean? o Atomic mass is the sum of the masses of protons and neutrons in an atom. We assume the mass of electrons is so small it doesn't contribute to total mass. Gather Content • What do you know about atomic mass? How does it relate to the question? o The masses of a proton and of a neutron are both 1. Consider Possibilities • What other information is related to the question? Which information is most useful? o There are 20 protons and 20 neutrons each with a mass of 1 in this atom. NURSINGTB.COM Choose Answer • Given what you now know, what information and/or problem solving approach is most likely to produce the correct answer? o 20 protons + 20 neutrons = an atomic mass of 40. Reflect on Process • Did your problem-solving process lead you to the correct answer? If not, where did the process break down or lead you astray? How can you revise your approach to produce a more desirable result? o This question asked you to apply the definition of atomic mass to calculate an atomic mass. If you got the correct answer, great job! If you got an incorrect answer, where did the process break down? Did you confuse atomic number (the number of protons alone) with the atomic mass (the sum of protons and neutrons)? Section: 02.02 Topic: Elements Found in Living Systems Bloom's: 3.

From her observations, she noted that the oil was moving as large patches in the water. It did not appear as though the oil was dissolving into the water. Why did the oil not dissolve into the water? A) Hydrophobic interactions B) Surface tension C) Sea water acts as a solvent D) Water forms hydration shells E) Water has a high heat of vaporization Answer: A Explanation: Clarify Question • What is the key concept addressed by the question? The question asks why oil and water don't mix. • What type of thinking is required? You are being asked to apply your knowledge of the properties of water and oil to explain why the oil does not dissolve in water. • What key words does the question contain and what do they mean? o Dissolve – this means one compound mixes completely with a solvent like water. Gather Content • What do you know about water as a solvent? How does it relate to the question? o Water is a polar molecule, this means that other polar molecules or ions will dissolve in it. These water loving molecules are called hydrophilic. o Oil is a nonpolar molecule and will dissolve better in a nonpolar solvent. These molecules are called hydrophobic, or water fearing.NURSINGTB.COM Consider Possibilities • What other information is related to the question? Which information is most useful? o Water is a solvent with a high heat of vaporization and surface tension. Water also forms surface tension. However, none of these properties explain why oil does not dissolve in water. Choose Answer • Given what you now know, what information and/or problem solving approach is most likely to produce the correct answer? o The best answer is that oil is hydrophobic, meaning it does not interact well with water. This is because water is a polar molecule and oil is nonpolar. Water has O-H bonds which do not share electrons equally giving the O a partial negative charge and the H a partial positive charge. In contrast oil is made up of C-H bonds and the electrons are shared more equally leading to no partial charges. Because oil does not have these charges it is not attracted to the charges in water and does not dissolve well in water. Reflect on Process • Did your problem-solving process lead you to the correct answer? If not, where did the process break down or lead you astray? How can you revise your approach to produce a more desirable result? 8 . o This question asked you to apply the properties of water to explain why oil and water do not mix well. If you got the correct answer, great job! If you got an incorrect answer, where did the process break down? Did you know what the word hydrophobic meant?

A) 24 B) 8 C) 16 D) 4 Answer: B Explanation: Clarify Question • What is the key concept addressed by the question? The question asks you to calculate the number of neutrons from the atomic mass and number of an atom. • What type of thinking is required? You are being asked to apply your knowledge of how atomic mass and atomic number are calculated. • What key words does the question contain and what do they mean? o Atomic mass – the number of neutrons plus protons in an atom. o Atomic number – the number of protons in an atom. Gather Content • What do you know about the number of neutrons in an atom? How does it relate to the question? o Atomic mass contains both the neutrons and protons in an atom. Consider Possibilities • What other information is related to thNeUqRuSIeNstGioTnB?.CWOMhich information is most useful? o Atomic number is defined by the number of protons in an atom. Choose Answer • Given what you now know, what information and/or problem solving approach is most likely to produce the correct answer? o To calculate the number simply take Atomic mass (P + N) minus Atomic number (P). o In this example this is 16 – 8 = 8 neutrons Reflect on Process • Did your problem-solving process lead you to the correct answer? If not, where did the process break down or lead you astray? How can you revise your approach to produce a more desirable result? o This question asked you to apply the structure of an atom to predict some of its properties. If you got the correct answer, great job! If you got an incorrect answer, where did the process break down? Did you know the definitions of how atomic mass and atomic numbers?
