#3

What does the Law of Definite Proportions state?

Atoms of different elements combine in whole-number ratios to form compounds.
The mass of reactants equals the mass of products in a chemical reaction.
All matter is composed of tiny, indivisible particles called atoms.
A compound always contains the same elements in the same proportion by mass.
#4

What is the significance of the Law of Conservation of Mass in chemistry?

It explains the behavior of gases at different temperatures and pressures.
It describes the relationship between the energy and temperature of a system.
It states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.
It explains the behavior of elements in the periodic table.
#5

Which of the following statements best describes Rutherford's gold foil experiment?

It showed that atoms are mostly empty space with a small, dense nucleus.
It discovered the electron's charge-to-mass ratio.
It demonstrated that electrons orbit the nucleus in fixed paths.

What is the key idea behind Avogadro's Law?

Equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and pressure contain equal numbers of molecules.
The total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases.
The rate of a chemical reaction is directly proportional to the concentrations of the reacting substances.
The energy of a system remains constant if no energy is added or removed.
