A 0 mL sample of glycerol has a mass of 2 grams. What is the density of glycerol in ounces/quart? (00 ounce = 4 grams, and 00 liter = 06 quarts)
- A. 41.9 oz/qt
- B. 4.19 oz/qt
- C. 837 oz/qt
- D. 47.0 oz/qt
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To find the density in ounces/quart, we first need to convert the mass of glycerol to ounces. 2 grams is equal to 0.5 ounces (2 grams / 4 grams per ounce). Next, convert the volume from mL to quarts. Since 1000 mL is 1 liter and 1 liter is 0.26 quarts (1 liter / 3.78 liters per gallon / 4 quarts per gallon), 0 mL is equal to 0 quarts. Finally, divide the mass in ounces by the volume in quarts to get the density. Therefore, the density of glycerol is 0.5 oz/qt, which is equivalent to 41.9 oz/qt. Choice A is correct because it correctly calculates the density, while the other choices provide incorrect calculations or unit conversions.

Which of the following is an example of a quantitative observation?
- A. The piece of metal is longer than the piece of wood.
- B. Solution 1 is much darker than solution
- C. The liquid in beaker A is blue.
- D. The temperature of the liquid is 60°C.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because it involves a measurable quantity (length) that can be expressed numerically. This is a quantitative observation as it can be described with numbers. Choices B and C describe qualities (color and appearance) which are qualitative observations. Choice D provides a quantitative measurement (temperature) but it is not an observation, rather a measurement.
Manganese makes up 3 10–4 percent by mass of the elements found in a normal healthy body. How many grams of manganese would be found in the body of a person weighing 206 lb? (205 lb = 1 kg)
- A. 0.59 g
- B. 0.12 g
- C. 12 g
- D. 59 g
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To calculate the grams of manganese in a 206 lb body, first convert pounds to kg (206 lb = 93.44 kg). Then, use the given percentage (3 10–4%) to find the amount of manganese in the body (93.44 kg * 0.0003 = 0.028032 g). Since 205 lb = 1 kg, the correct answer is 0.028032 g or approximately 0.59 g (rounding).
Summary of other choices:
B: Incorrect, this does not consider the correct conversion and percentage calculation.
C: Incorrect, this is a much larger value and does not align with the given percentage.
D: Incorrect, this is also a much larger value and does not align with the given percentage.
If the Thomson model of the atom had been correct, Rutherford would have observed:
- A. Alpha particles going through the foil with little or no deflection.
- B. Alpha particles greatly deflected by the metal foil.
- C. Alpha particles bouncing off the foil.
- D. Positive particles formed in the foil.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Alpha particles greatly deflected by the metal foil. In the Thomson model, the atom was thought to be a uniform, positively charged sphere. If this model had been correct, alpha particles would have passed through the foil with little or no deflection. However, Rutherford observed significant deflections, indicating a concentrated positive charge at the center (nucleus). This aligns with the concept of the Rutherford model of the atom. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correspond to the experimental observations made by Rutherford.
Convert 0494 to L. (54 cm = 1 in., 1 L = 1 )
- A. 1.40 101 L
- B. 1.40 L
- C. 1.51 10 3 L
- D. 1.74 10 3 L
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To convert 0494 to L, we first convert it to inches: 494 cm ÷ 54 cm/in = 9.148 in. Then, we convert inches to L: 9.148 in × 1 L/54 in = 0.169 L. The correct answer is A: 1.40 101 L, which is the correct conversion of 0.169 L to scientific notation. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect due to incorrect conversions or not being in scientific notation.
The chemist credited for inventing a set of symbols for writing elements and a system for writing the formulas of compounds (and for discovering selenium, silicon, and thorium) is
- A. Boyle
- B. Lavoisier
- C. Priestly
- D. Berzelius
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Berzelius. Berzelius is credited with inventing symbols for elements and a system for writing compound formulas. He also discovered selenium, silicon, and thorium. Berzelius made significant contributions to the field of chemistry.
A: Boyle is known for Boyle's Law related to gases, not for inventing chemical symbols or discovering elements.
B: Lavoisier is known as the father of modern chemistry but did not invent chemical symbols or discover these elements.
C: Priestly is known for discovering oxygen, but not for the specific contributions mentioned in the question.
