Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Given density, d = mass (m)/volume (v), the equation can be solved for each variable: m = dv, v = m/d. When mass is substituted by weight, dw = w/v.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Surface tension is the force exerted by like molecules at the liquid's surface. The introduction of a surface-active agent (e.g., soap) would decrease the cohesive forces between the water drop-lets, thus reducing their surface tension at the surface. With liquids (e.g., water), surface tension can be made to increase or decrease, but it cannot be eliminated. See Figure 1-9.
