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 0 mL sample of glycerol has a mass of 2 grams. What is the mass of a 57-mL sample of glycerol?
- A. 8.8 g
- B. 45 g
- C. 2.9 104 g
- D. 72 g
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To find the mass of a 57-mL sample of glycerol, we use the given mass-to-volume ratio. Since 0 mL has a mass of 2 grams, the mass-to-volume ratio is 2g/0mL = 2g/mL. Therefore, for a 57-mL sample, we multiply 2g/mL by 57 mL to get 114 grams, which corresponds to answer choice B.
Choice A (8.8 g) is incorrect because it does not align with the calculated mass of 114 g for a 57-mL sample. Choices C (2.9 104 g) and D (72 g) are also incorrect as they are not consistent with the mass-to-volume ratio of 2g/mL provided in the question.
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.
The cargo of uranium hexafluoride weighed kg and was contained in 30 drums, each containing L of UF . What is the density (g/mL) of uranium hexafluoride?
- A. 1.53 g/mL
- B. 5.11 g/mL
- C. 2.25 g/mL
- D. 0.196 g/mL
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To find the density, we first calculate the total volume of uranium hexafluoride. Since each drum contains 15 L, the total volume is 30 drums * 15 L/drum = 450 L. Next, convert the mass from kg to g (1 kg = 1000 g). Density = mass/volume. Density = (mass in g) / (volume in mL). Since the mass is in g, we need to convert the volume from L to mL (1 L = 1000 mL). Density = (mass in g) / (volume in mL) = (mass in g) / (volume in L * 1000). Density = (mass in g) / (450 L * 1000) = (mass in g) / 450000 mL. Therefore, the density is the mass divided by 450000. The correct answer is C: 2.25 g/mL. Choice A is incorrect as it is too low
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.
A quantitative observation
- A. contains a number and a unit
- B. does not contain a number
- C. always makes a comparison
- D. must be obtained through experimentation E) is none of these KEY: Chemistry | general chemistry | general concepts | scientific methodMSC: Conceptual
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because a quantitative observation must contain both a number and a unit to provide a specific measurement. This ensures the observation is precise and can be accurately communicated. The other choices are incorrect because B is vague, C is not a requirement for quantitative observations, and D is not true as quantitative observations can also be obtained through measurements, not just experimentation.
