Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Molality (m) is the unit used to express concentration as a mass of solute per unit volume of solution. It is calculated by dividing the mass of solute in grams by the mass of the solvent in kilograms. Molality is preferred over molarity when there are large temperature variations as it is temperature-independent, making it a more accurate measure of concentration. Molarity (B) is the unit used to express concentration as moles of solute per liter of solution, weight percent (C) is the mass of solute per 100 parts of the total mass of the solution, and parts per million (D) is used to express very small concentrations where 1 ppm is equivalent to 1 mg of solute per liter of solution.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Antagonist.' An antagonist muscle is a muscle that lengthens while another muscle (agonist) contracts to produce movement. The antagonist muscle relaxes to allow the agonist muscle to contract effectively. In this scenario, the antagonist muscle works in opposition to the agonist muscle, providing control and precision to movement. The other choices are incorrect because a synergist muscle assists the agonist muscle in performing a movement, an agonist muscle is the primary muscle responsible for generating movement, and a flexor muscle is a muscle that decreases the angle at a joint.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Momentum is calculated as the product of an object's mass and its velocity. When the mass remains constant and the velocity doubles, the momentum will increase by a factor of 2 (doubling) due to the increase in velocity. Therefore, the momentum will quadruple (2 x 2 = 4) when the velocity doubles. This relationship between momentum and velocity showcases the direct proportionality of momentum to velocity, given a constant mass. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect. Momentum does not simply double or halve when the velocity doubles; it quadruples as it is directly proportional to the velocity. Hence, the correct answer is C, where momentum quadruples in this scenario.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: When an atom loses an electron, it gains a positive charge and becomes an ion. This occurs because the number of protons in the atom exceeds the number of electrons, leading to a positive charge. Therefore, the atom undergoes a transformation into an ion by losing an electron. Choice A is incorrect because losing an electron does not result in the formation of a molecule, as molecules are made up of bonded atoms. Choice C is incorrect because losing an electron does not change the fundamental identity of the atom; it only changes its charge. Choice D is incorrect because losing an electron causes the atom to become positively charged, altering its neutrality.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Syncope, also known as fainting, is a temporary loss of consciousness caused by insufficient blood flow to the brain. It results from a brief interruption in the brain's blood supply, leading to a temporary loss of consciousness. The correct answer is C. A stroke, option A, is caused by a blockage or rupture of blood vessels in the brain, not insufficient blood flow. Seizure, option B, involves a sudden surge of electrical brain activity, not reduced blood flow. Coma, option D, is characterized by prolonged unconsciousness, not a temporary loss of consciousness due to insufficient blood flow.
