Explanation:
The student must correctly understand the process of paper chromatography. Components of a mixture can be successfully separated using paper chromatography only if the components are soluble in the mobile phase (the solvent). The components of the mixture can be liquids or solids when pure.
This question is categorized as medium because the student must understand that solubility in the mobile phase is essential for a successful separation using paper chromatography. Beyond that, there are no calculations or other facts to recall.

Explanation:

The atomic number is the number of protons. The mass number is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons. For a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons.

Explanation:
Add $273$ to the temperature in Celsius to convert it to Kelvin. −185∘C+273=88 K. The rest of the choices are incorrect.

Explanation:

N = n x NA = (4.80)(6.02 $\times$ 10^$)$ = 2.89 $\times$ 10^24 molecules of glucose

Explanation:
The lines converge as energy levels increase (increased distance from the nucleus).
Higher energies result in higher frequencies.

Explanation:
Choice A is incorrect because the orbital diagram does not satisfy Hund's rule wherein all orbitals must be singly occupied before pairing.
Choice B is incorrect because Pauli's Exclusion principle is not obeyed by having two electrons with the same spin in one orbital.
Choice C is correct because, according to Hund's rule, the orbitals must be half-filled first before pairing, and the paired orbital must have electrons in an opposite spin.
Choice D is incorrect because the 2s orbital must be filled first before filling the 2p orbital, as illustrated by Aufbau's Principle.

Explanation:
Explanation: Selenium's electron configuration is 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^2 3d^10 4p^4. The three $2p$ and three $3p$ orbitals are fully occupied, along with one 4p orbital.

Explanation:
An insoluble solid can be separated from a liquid by means of filtration. Distillation is used to separate homogeneous liquid mixtures (solid soluble in a liquid or two miscible liquids) with different boiling points. Sublimation is a technique for separating mixtures with volatile components that can undergo sublimation. Crystallisation is a separation technique that uses solubility properties to separate a solid from a solution.

Explanation:
The student must first recall that the component with the greatest affinity for the mobile phase will travel the furthest in paper chromatography. In this case, spot #2 is the furthest from the starting line, so it has the greatest affinity for the mobile phase.
In paper chromatography, the mobile phase is always the solvent (water, in this case), while the stationary phase is the paper.
This question is categorized as easy because the student must only recall basic definitions and concepts for paper chromatography.

Explanation:
There is an inverse relationship between frequency and wavelength. If the wavelength is doubled, the frequency will decrease by half. Therefore, Choices A, C, and D are all incorrect.

Explanation:
Relative atomic mass of Br=(0.5069)(78.92)+(0.4931)(80.92)=79. The rest of the choices are incorrect relative atomic masses of bromine.

Alternative Method:

79Br atomic mass can be rounded up to 79

81Br atomic mass can be rounded up to 81

Since the relative abundance of both isotopes is about 50% each, the relative atomic mass of Bromine should be close to 80. Choice D corresponds to that estimation.

Explanation:
Liquids have an indefinite shape (take the shape of the container) but have a definite volume. Choice A describes solids. Choices B and D describe the characteristics of gases.

Explanation:
Choice A is the correct answer because it satisfies Aufbau's principle and the number of electrons in the electron configuration aligns with the same number of electrons in the orbital diagram.

Explanation:
Ions do not have the same numbers of protons and electrons. Only species B and C do not have the same number of protons and electrons, so the correct answer is B.

Explanation:

Electrons have negligible mass.

Explanation:
The student must correctly understand the process of paper chromatography. Components of a mixture can be successfully separated using paper chromatography only if the components are soluble in the mobile phase (the solvent). The components of the mixture can be liquids or solids when pure.
This question is categorized as medium because the student must understand that solubility in the mobile phase is essential for a successful separation using paper chromatography. Beyond that, there are no calculations or other facts to recall.

Explanation:
The empirical formula shows the simplest whole-number ratio of elements in a compound. The empirical formula can sometimes be the same as the molecular formula. Choices A, B, and D are all false statements.

Explanation:
Electrons fill sublevels according to the Aufbau Principle shown below: 

Following this order, $2p<4s<3d<4p$

Explanation:
The student must understand that gases deviate from an ideal gas when the temperature is low and when the pressure is high.
At low temperatures, the particles move slower and thus are able to form more intermolecular forces.
At high pressure the particles are closer together, also allowing for more plentiful attractive forces.
In both of these cases, intermolecular forces of attraction cannot be assumed to be negligible and so the gas under those conditions is no longer considered an ideal gas.
This question is categorized as medium because the student needs to carefully consider the answer choices. A pressure of 1 $atm$ is the same as 100 kPa. Likewise, 298 $K$ is the same as 25∘C. A pressure of 2 $atm$, while higher, is not high enough to drastically increase attractive forces. A pressure of 200 $atm$ would be consistent with the pressure in a compressed gas cylinder when the gas is in liquid form, and is therefore not behaving as an ideal gas.

Explanation:
Seawater is a mixture of water and salts. Sucrose, distilled water, and sodium chloride are all examples of compounds.

Explanation:
The student must first understand that each component of the mixture will result in one spot on the paper chromatogram. If the recrystallization was successful, then the purified dye should only have one dot.
Therefore, answer choice B is incorrect since the sample contains more than one component after recrystallization.
Answer choice C indicates that the dye is no longer in the sample, and answer choice D indicates the contaminant was not successfully separated from the dye. So the paper chromatogram is unable to identify any impurities that are still present.
In answer choice A, before recrystallization, shows two components (the dye and contaminant), and after, there is only one component showing successful recrystallization.
This question is categorized as medium since the student must understand the premise and purpose of paper chromatography and apply it to experimental results.

Explanation:
The graph of P vs T shows a linear graph (straight line passing through the origin) that rises upward. This graph shows that P is directly proportional to the absolute temperature. As the absolute temperature increases, the pressure of the gas also increases.
