Question 1 of 5

As warm water sits in a cool room, you measure the temperature change ( T = T – final T ). Which of the following is true? initial

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. When measuring temperature change, the size of the change will depend on the scale used. In Fahrenheit (°F), the scale has larger degrees compared to Celsius (°
C).
Therefore, the temperature change will appear bigger when measured in Fahrenheit. This is because each degree Fahrenheit is smaller in magnitude compared to each degree Celsius.



Choices B and C are incorrect. In choice B, the temperature change will not be bigger if measured in °C because each degree Celsius is larger in magnitude compared to each degree Fahrenheit.
Choice C is incorrect because the temperature change does depend on the scale used.


Choice D is incorrect because the difference in temperature between the water and the room does not affect the scale used for measurement. The scale itself determines the magnitude of the temperature change.

Question 2 of 5

A 0 mL sample of glycerol has a mass of 2 grams. What is the mass of a 57-mL sample of glycerol?

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.

Question 3 of 5

The pressure of the earth's atmosphere at sea level is . What is the pressure when expressed in ? (54 cm = 1 in., 205 lb = 1 kg)

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 2.62 × 10^5.
To convert atmospheric pressure from inches of mercury to pascals, we use the conversion factor 1 in. = 2.54 cm and the standard atmospheric pressure at sea level (29.92 in. Hg). First, convert 29.92 in. Hg to cm Hg (29.92 in. × 2.54 cm/in.), then convert cm Hg to Pa (1 atm = 101325 Pa). Follow these steps to get the correct answer.
Choice B (1.03 × 10^7) is incorrect as it is too high.
Choice C (5.02 × 10^4) is incorrect as it is too low.
Choice D (4.30 100) is not a valid numerical expression.

Question 4 of 5

The density of liquid mercury is 6 g/mL. What is its density in units of ? (54 cm = 1 in., 205 lb = 1 kg)

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.

Question 5 of 5

The element rhenium (Re) exists as two stable isotopes and 18 unstable isotopes. Rhenium-185 has in its nucleus

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer A is determined by knowing that the atomic number of rhenium is 75. Since the element is rhenium-185, the sum of protons and neutrons must equal 185. As the atomic number is 75, the number of protons is 75.
Therefore, the number of neutrons is 185 - 75 = 110. Thus, rhenium-185 has 75 protons and 110 neutrons.

Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not adhere to the correct number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of rhenium-185.
