Section 4: Science 1. (A) (p. 405) Science/Interpretation of Data/Comprehension . The most sensitive curve will have the steepest slope, suggesting the greatest rate of change. The sharpest sloping curve is for potassium nitrate, KNO 3 . 2. (H) (p. 405) Science/Evaluation of Models/Analysis . The sodium salts, NaCl and NaNO 3 , have different solubilities, indicating that solubility depends on more than the nature of sodium. Thus, (F) and (G) must be incorrect. (J) is incorrect because it is not known whether the solubility curves for all sodium compounds have been given. ††‹–‹‘ƒŽŽ›ǡ –Š‡ •‘Ž—„‹Ž‹–› ‘ˆ ƒ Ž ‹• Ž‡•• –Šƒ ͶͲ ‰”ƒ• ’‡” ͳͲͲ ‰”ƒ• ‘ˆ ™ƒ–‡” ˆ‘” –‡’‡”ƒ–—”‡• Ž‘™‡” –Šƒ ͺͲι Ǥ (H) is correct because it takes into account the differences in solubilities of different sodium salts, as indicated in the given graph.
