20 protons
- A. 22 protons
- B. 20 protons
- C. 18 electrons
- D. 22
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. Since the question states that there are 20 protons, option A with 22 protons is incorrect. Option B with 20 protons matches the given information, making it the correct answer. Option C with 18 electrons is unrelated to the given information about protons. Option D with just the number 22 is irrelevant and does not provide any information about protons.

The numbers of protons, neutrons, and electrons in K+ are: A) 20 p, 19 n, 19 e
- A. 20 p, 19 n, 20 e
- B. 19 p, 20 n, 20 e
- C. 19 p, 20 n, 19 e
- D. 19 p, 20 n, 18 e
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: 19 p, 20 n, 19 e. K+ has an atomic number of 19, indicating 19 protons. Since it is a potassium ion with a +1 charge, it lost one electron, giving it 19 electrons instead of the usual 20. The number of neutrons is found by subtracting the atomic number from the mass number (39 for potassium) to get 20 neutrons. Option A is incorrect due to the incorrect number of electrons. Option B has the incorrect number of protons. Option D has the incorrect number of electrons.
How many significant figures are there in the number 0006428?
- A. 7
- B. 3
- C. 8
- D. 4
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: 4. Significant figures are non-zero digits and zeros between them. In this case, only digits 6, 4, 2, and 8 are non-zero, making them all significant. Zeros before the first non-zero digit are not significant, so the zeros before 6 are not counted. Hence, there are 4 significant figures in the number 0006428.
Choice A (7) is incorrect because it includes all digits, including the leading zeros, which are not significant. Choice B (3) is incorrect because it only considers the non-zero digits, excluding the zeros between them. Choice C (8) is incorrect because it counts all digits including leading zeros, which are not significant.
On a new temperature scale (°Z), water boils at 0°Z and freezes at 0°Z. Calculate the normal human body temperature using this temperature scale. On the Celsius scale, normal human body temperature could typically be 1°C, and water boils at 0°C and freezes at 00°C.
- A. 2968°Z
- B. 12.4°Z C)
- C. 111°Z
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To calculate normal human body temperature in °Z, we can use the formula: °Z = (°C + 100) / 2. Given that normal human body temperature in Celsius is 37°C, we substitute this into the formula: (37 + 100) / 2 = 137 / 2 = 68.5°Z. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 2968°Z, as it is the closest to 68.5°Z.
Summary of other choices:
B: 12.4°Z - This is too low, as human body temperature is higher.
C: 111°Z - This is too high, as it exceeds the calculated value of 68.5°Z.
A metric unit for length is
- A. gram
- B. milliliter
- C. yard
- D. kilometer
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: kilometer. A kilometer is a metric unit for length because it is used to measure long distances. In the metric system, length is typically measured in meters, and a kilometer is equal to 1000 meters. This makes it a suitable unit for measuring larger distances efficiently.
Explanation for incorrect choices:
A: Gram is a unit of mass, not length.
B: Milliliter is a unit of volume, not length.
C: Yard is a unit of length, but it is not a metric unit. The metric system uses meters and its derivatives for length measurements.
Convert 4 lb to g. (1 lb = 6 g)
- A. 7.58 10 2 g
- B. 1.56 103 g
- C. 7.58 104 g
- D. 1.56 102 g
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To convert 4 lb to g, we use the conversion factor provided: 1 lb = 6 g.
1. Multiply 4 lb by 6 g/lb: 4 lb * 6 g/lb = 24 g.
2. Since the question asks for the answer in grams, the correct conversion is 24 g.
Therefore, the correct answer is C (7.58 x 10^4 g).
Other choices are incorrect because they do not correctly apply the conversion factor or provide the accurate conversion from pounds to grams.
