Question

use the following information to answer question 4.

a cyclist is adding oil to a noisy bicycle chain. oil for bicycle chains should flow easily out of the bottle and coat the chain.

1. for oil to behave as described, the oil should have i viscosity and be ii in water.

the statement above is best completed by the answers in row:

\

$$\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|} \\hline row & i & ii \\\\ \\hline a. & low & insoluble \\\\ \\hline b. & low & soluble \\\\ \\hline c. & high & insoluble \\\\ \\hline d. & high & soluble \\\\ \\hline \\end{tabular}$$

Analyze the required viscosity

The text states that oil for bicycle chains should "flow easily out of the bottle and coat the chain." Viscosity is a fluid's resistance to flow. A fluid that flows easily has a low viscosity, while a thick fluid that flows slowly has a high viscosity. Therefore, to flow easily, the oil must have low viscosity.

Analyze the required solubility in water

Bicycles are often ridden outdoors where they may encounter rain, puddles, or wet conditions. If the chain oil were soluble in water, it would easily dissolve and wash away when exposed to water, leaving the chain unprotected. To remain on the chain and protect it in wet conditions, the oil must be insoluble in water.

Match with the options

Using the Factors Affecting Dissolving knowledge point, we evaluate the solubility behavior.

• Column (i) must be "low".
• Column (ii) must be "insoluble".

This combination corresponds to Row A.

<answer>
<mcq-correct>(A) Row A: i = low, ii = insoluble</mcq-correct>
<mcq-option>(B) Row B: i = low, ii = soluble</mcq-option>
<mcq-option>(C) Row C: i = high, ii = insoluble</mcq-option>
<mcq-option>(D) Row D: i = high, ii = soluble</mcq-option>
