The density of liquid mercury is 6 g/mL. What is its density in units of ? (54 cm = 1 in., 205 lb = 1 kg)
- A. 1.57 10 2
- B. 4.91 10 1
- C. 1.01 10 1
- D. 7.62 10 2
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To find the density of liquid mercury in units of g/cm³, we need to convert the density from g/mL to g/cm³. The conversion factor is 1 mL = 1 cm³. Given the density of mercury as 6 g/mL, it is equivalent to 6 g/cm³. Therefore, the correct answer is 1.01 x 10¹ g/cm³ (choice C).
Choice A: 1.57 x 10² is too large for the density of liquid mercury.
Choice B: 4.91 x 10¹ is incorrect as it does not match the calculated density.
Choice D: 7.62 x 10² is significantly higher than the actual density of liquid mercury.

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
The statement “The total mass of materials is not affected by a chemical change in thosematerials” is called a(n)
- A. observation
- B. measuremen t
- C. theory
- D. natural law
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: natural law. A natural law describes a consistent pattern or behavior in the natural world, such as the conservation of mass in a chemical reaction. This principle states that the total mass of materials before and after a chemical change remains constant. Observations (A) are factual statements based on data, measurements (B) involve quantifying properties, and theories (C) are explanations based on evidence, but none specifically address the consistent behavior of mass in chemical changes as a natural law does.
Which statement is not correct?
- A. The mass of an alpha particle is 7300 times that of the electron.
- B. An alpha particle has a 2+ charge.
- C. Three types of radioactive emission are gamma rays, beta rays, and alpha particles.
- D. A gamma ray is high-energy light.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because gamma rays are not light but a form of electromagnetic radiation with high energy. Gamma rays have no charge and are produced from the nucleus. Choice A is correct as an alpha particle is heavier than an electron. Choice B is correct as an alpha particle has a 2+ charge. Choice C is correct as these are types of radioactive emissions.
In March 2008, gold reached a milestone value of $1000 per troy ounce. At that price, what was the cost of a gram of gold? (1 troy ounce = 10 g)
- A. less than $1
- B. between $1 and $10
- C. between $10 and $50
- D. between $50 and $100
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To find the cost of a gram of gold at $1000 per troy ounce, we divide $1000 by 10 (since 1 troy ounce = 10g). This gives us $100 per gram. Therefore, the correct answer is C: between $10 and $50. Option A is incorrect as it is less than $1, option B is incorrect as it is between $1 and $10, and option D is incorrect as it is between $50 and $100.
