Express the volume 781.2CM3 in liters.
- A. 781.2 L
- B. 78.12 L
- C. 7.812 L
- D. 0.7812 L
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: To convert cm3 to liters, divide by 1000 as 1 liter = 1000 cm3.
Therefore, 781.2 cm3 ÷ 1000 = 0.7812 L.
Correct answer is D: 0.7812 L.
Other choices are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct conversion from cm3 to liters.

A scientist obtains the number 0.045006700 on a calculator. If this number
actually has four significant figures, how should it be written?
- A. 0.4567
- B. 0.4501
- C. 0.045
- D. 0.045
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: 0.045. When dealing with significant figures, trailing zeros after the decimal point are considered significant. In this case, the number 0.045006700 should be rounded to 0.045 since it has four significant figures. Choice A has too many significant figures, B rounds incorrectly, and D removes significant figures after the decimal point. Thus, C is the correct choice.
An ion is formed
- A. By either adding or subtracting protons from the atom.
- B. By either adding or subtracting electrons from the atom
- C. By either adding or subtracting neutrons from the atom.
- D. All of the above are true.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: By either adding or subtracting protons from the atom. An ion is formed when an atom gains or loses electrons, leading to an unequal number of protons and electrons. Protons determine the atom's identity, so changing the number of protons would result in a different element. This process results in the formation of ions with a positive charge if protons are added or a negative charge if protons are subtracted. Choices B and C are incorrect because adding or subtracting electrons or neutrons does not change the fundamental identity of the atom, only its charge or mass. Choice D is incorrect as not all options are true for ion formation.
The degree of agreement among several measurements of the same quantity is called . It reflects the reproducibility of a given type of measurement.
- A. accuracy
- B. error
- C. precision
- D. significance
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: precision. Precision refers to the degree of agreement among repeated measurements of the same quantity. It reflects how close the measurements are to each other, indicating reproducibility. Accuracy (choice A) is about how close a measurement is to the true value, not the agreement among multiple measurements. Error (choice B) is a deviation from the true value and not specifically related to the agreement among measurements. Significance (choice D) is about the importance or relevance of a result, not the consistency of measurements. Therefore, precision is the most appropriate term in this context.
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.
Convert 4338 mL to qt. (1 L = 06 qt)
- A. 4598 qt
- B. 4.092 qt
- C. 4.092 10 3 qt
- D. 4092 qt
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To convert 4338 mL to qt, first convert mL to L by dividing by 1000 (4338 mL / 1000 = 4.338 L). Then, convert L to qt using the conversion factor 1 L = 0.946 qt. So, 4.338 L * 0.946 qt/L = 4.092 qt (Answer B).
Choice A (4598 qt) is incorrect as it does not follow the correct conversion process. Choice C (4.092 10 3 qt) is incorrect due to incorrect formatting and notation. Choice D (4092 qt) is incorrect as it uses the wrong conversion factor.
