SAT Chemistry Subject Test - Practice Test 4Note: For all questions involving solutions and/or chemical equations, assume that the system is in water unless otherwise stated.
Reminder: You may not use a calculator on these tests.
The following symbols have the meanings listed unless otherwise noted.
H = enthalpy
M = molar
n = number of moles
P = pressure
R = molar gas constant
S = entropy
T = temperature
V = volume
atm = atmosphere
g = gram(s)
J = joules(s)
kJ = kilojoules
L = liter(s)
mL = milliliter(s)
mm = millimeter(s)
mol = mole(s)
V = volt(s)
 PART A
Directions: Every set of the given lettered choices below refers to the numbered statements or formulas immediately following it. Choose the one lettered choice that best fits each statement or formula and then fill in the corresponding oval on the answer sheet. Each choice may be used once, more than once, or not at all in each set.

SAT Chemistry Chemical Formulas - Names and Formulas Of Common Acids and Bases

SAT Chemistry Chemical Formulas - Names and Formulas Of Common Acids and Bases The definition of an acid and a base is expanded later in a first-year chemistry course. For now, common acids are aqueous solutions of hydrogen compounds that contain hydrogen ions, H+. Common bases are aqueous solutions containing hydroxide ions, OH-.
A binary acid is named by placing the prefix hydro- in front of the stem or full name of the nonmetallic element, and adding the ending -ic. Examples are hydrochloric acid (HCl) and hydrosulfuric acid (H2S).
A ternary compound consists of three elements, usually an element and a polyatomic ion. To name the compound, you merely name each component in the order of positive first and negative second.
Ternary acids usually contain hydrogen, a nonmetal, and oxygen. Because the amount of oxygen often varies, the name of the most common form of the acid in the series consists of merely the stem of the nonmetal with the ending -ic. The acid containing one less atom …

SAT Physics Nuclear Reactions - Radioactive Decay

SAT Physics Nuclear Reactions - Radioactive DecayRADIOACTIVE DECAY
Radioactive decay occurs when an unstable isotope spontaneously loses energy by emitting particles from its nucleus. The decay processes were named in their order of discovery by using the first three letters of the Greek alphabet: alpha (α), beta (β), and gamma (γ). After their initial discovery, it was determined that an alpha particle was in fact the nucleus of a helium atom , a beta particle was actually an electron, , and gamma radiation was not a particle at all. Instead, it is a high-frequency photon, . Elements that naturally decay are said to be radioactive. Radioactive substances have a critical imbalance between the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. As atoms become larger, more neutrons are needed to maintain stability. Uranium-235 has 92 protons and 143 neutrons. The three common forms of natural radioactivity—alpha, beta, and gamma radiation—are discussed below.

Alpha Decay
In an alpha decay, an…
