The answer key says it's B, but I picked E.

This was my logic:

A. This is not correct because many compounds have the same empirical formulas but have different molecular formulas, C2H2 and C6H6 for example.

B (the correct option)****. This also should be incorrect because if temperature is constant, molar mass will be the deciding factor for Vrms. Since Hydrogen has smaller molar mass than oxygen, and Vrms and molar mass inversely proportional, Hydrogen should move faster.

C. This is not the case all the time. For instance hexane has higher boiling point than acetone, despite having only LDF.

D. Not correct because it's also dependent on the mass(m/V)

E (the one I chose). I know if something is soluble, it will stay in the solution unchanged, as a form of ion and called spectators(?). This seemed like the best option, so I chose that.

Any help would be appreciated!

I’m currently a second semester freshman at a CUNY and trying to figure out if applying to the FlexMed program at Mount Sinai is worth it or just a reach.

Current stats:

● 4.0 cGPA & sGPA

● ~650 hours paid EMT (projecting 1000+ by time of application)

● Founding member of a health literacy nonprofit

● Recently started SHAP volunteering (housing assistance for homeless people), expect ~150 hours by application

● No research

● No SAT/ACT yet

I’m thinking of taking the SAT specifically for FlexMed, but unsure if it’s worth the time investment given how competitive the applicant pool is. I’ve seen a lot of people with lots of research and shadowing hours, which makes me second guess myself.

Would taking the SAT and applying make sense in my position, or should I focus on the traditional premed route instead?

Any honest input is appreciated!

Can someone help me understand the reasoning behind this problem?
