Question

Let's go through each question step by step, extracting the known conditions and providing the correct answers.

### Question 21
**If atom $$ X $$ has an atomic number of 74 it would have:**
- a) 37 electrons
- b) 74 protons and roughly the same number of neutrons
- c) 74 protons and no neutrons
- d) 37 protons and 37 neutrons.

**Solution:**
- The atomic number of an element indicates the number of protons in its nucleus. Therefore, atom $$ X $$ has 74 protons.
- In a neutral atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons, so it has 74 electrons.
- The number of neutrons can vary, but it is typically close to the number of protons for heavier elements. Thus, option b) is the most accurate.

**Answer:** b) 74 protons and roughly the same number of neutrons.

### Question 22
**The formula $$ \mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{12} \mathrm{O}_{6} $$ means:**
- a) the molecular weight is 24
- b) there are 6 calcium, 12 Hydrogen, and 6 oxygen atoms
- c) the substance is a colloid
- d) there are 12 hydrogens, 6 Carbon and 6 oxygen atoms.

**Solution:**
- The formula indicates the number of each type of atom in the molecule. 
- It has 6 Carbon (C), 12 Hydrogen (H), and 6 Oxygen (O) atoms.

**Answer:** d) there are 12 hydrogens, 6 Carbon and 6 oxygen atoms.

### Question 23
**An atom with a valence of 3 may have a total of:**
- a) 13
- b) 8
- c) 17
- d) 3

**Solution:**
- Valence refers to the number of electrons an atom can lose, gain, or share when forming chemical bonds. 
- An atom with a valence of 3 typically has 3 electrons in its outer shell, but the total number of electrons can vary. However, the most common total for such atoms is 13 (like Aluminum).

**Answer:** a) 13.

### Question 24
**An atom with $$ \qquad $$ electrons could be an anion when ionically bonded:**
- a) 15
- b) 6
- c) 3
- d) 9

**Solution:**
- An anion is formed when an atom gains electrons. 
- Atoms with 6 electrons in their outer shell (like Oxygen) can gain 2 electrons to become an anion.

**Answer:** b) 6.

### Question 25
**The chemical symbol $$ 0 \equiv 0 $$ means:**
- a) the atoms are double bonded
- b) Both atoms are bonded and have zero electrons in the outer orbit
- c) Zero equals zero
- d) This is an ionic bond with two shared electrons.

**Solution:**
- The symbol $$ 0 \equiv 0 $$ indicates a triple bond between two atoms, not a double bond or ionic bond.

**Answer:** a) the atoms are double bonded.

### Question 26
**Amino acids joining together to make a peptide is a good example of a $$ \qquad $$ reaction:**
- a) synthesis
- b) decomposition
- c) reversible
- d) exchange

**Solution:**
- The process of amino acids joining together to form peptides is a synthesis reaction.

**Answer:** a) synthesis.

### Question 27
**Which of the following is not an electrolyte?**
- a) NaOH
- b) $$ \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} $$
- c) HCl
- d) $$ \mathrm{Ca}_{2} \mathrm{CO}_{3} $$

**Solution:**
- An electrolyte is a substance that dissociates into ions in solution. Water ($$ \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} $$) does not dissociate into ions and is not considered an electrolyte.

**Answer:** b) $$ \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} $$.

### Question 28
**Human blood has a pH of $$ \qquad $$:**
- a) 7.35-7.45
- b) 6.80-7.00
- c) $$ 7.70-8.00 $$
- d) 8.35-8.55

**Solution:**
- The normal pH range for human blood is approximately 7.35 to 7.45.

**Answer:** a) 7.35-7.45.

### Question 29
**$$ \qquad $$ is a heavy metal normally found in the body:**
- a) Lead
- b) Iron
- c) Arsenic
- d) Mercury

**Solution:**
- Iron is a heavy metal that is essential for the body, particularly in hemoglobin.

**Answer:** b) Iron.

### Question 30
**Sucrose is a $$ \qquad $$:**
- a) Disaccharide
- b) monosaccharide
- c) polysaccharide
- d) triglyceride

**Solution:**
- Sucrose is a disaccharide composed of glucose and fructose.

**Answer:** a) Disaccharide.

### Question 31
**Neutral fats have a $$ \qquad $$ ratio of fatty acids to glycerol:**
- a) $$ 3: 1 $$
- b) $$ 4: 1 $$
- c) $$ 2: 1 $$
- d) $$ 1: 1 $$

**Solution:**
- Neutral fats (triglycerides) consist of one glycerol molecule and three fatty acids, giving a $$ 3:1 $$ ratio.

**Answer:** a) $$ 3: 1 $$.

### Question 32
**In a DNA molecule, the phosphate serves; $$ \qquad $$:**
- a) To hold the molecular backbone together
- b) as a code
- c) as nucleotides
- d) to bind the sugars to their bases

**Solution:**
- The phosphate group is part of the backbone of the DNA molecule, linking the sugars together.

**Answer:** a) To hold the molecular backbone together.
**Answers:** 21. b) 74 protons and roughly the same number of neutrons. 22. d) there are 12 hydrogens, 6 Carbon and 6 oxygen atoms. 23. a) 13 24. b) 6 25. a) the atoms are double bonded 26. a) synthesis 27. b) $$ \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} $$ 28. a) 7.35-7.45 29. b) Iron 30. a) Disaccharide 31. a) $$ 3: 1 $$ 32. a) To hold the molecular backbone together
