    Base your answers to questions 6 on the information below and on your knowledge of chemistry.

    Water, H2O, and hexane, C6H14, are commonly used as laboratory solvents because they have different physical properties and are able to dissolve different types of solutes. Some physical properties of water and hexane are listed on the table below.

    Base your answers to questions 7 on the information below and on your knowledge of chemistry.

    A sample of normal rainwater has a pH value of 5.6 due to dissolved carbon dioxide gas from the atmosphere. Acid rain is formed when other gases, such as sulfur dioxide, dissolve in rainwater, which can result in lake water with a pH value of 4.6. The equation below represents the reaction of water with SO2(g).

    Base your answers to questions 11 on the information below and on your knowledge of chemistry.

    In a laboratory investigation, a student is given a sample that is a mixture of 3.0 grams of NaCl(s) and 4.0 grams of sand, which is mostly SiO2(s). The purpose of the investigation is to separate and recover the compounds in the sample. In the first step, the student places the sample in a 250-mL flask. Then, 50. grams of distilled water are added to the flask, and the contents are thoroughly stirred. The mixture in the flask is then filtered, using the equipment represented by the diagram below.

    Base your answers to questions 13 on the information below and on your knowledge of chemistry.

    Carbon dioxide is slightly soluble in seawater. As carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere increase, more CO2 dissolves in seawater, making the seawater more acidic because carbonic acid, H2CO3(aq), is formed.

    Seawater also contains aqueous calcium carbonate, CaCO3(aq), which is used by some marine organisms to make their hard exoskeletons. As the acidity of the sea water changes, the solubility of CaCO3 also changes, as shown in the graph below.
