409 Kelvin equals

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To convert Kelvin to Celsius, subtract 273. So, 409K - 273 = 136°C. Choice D is correct. Choice A (136°F) is incorrect because it's a Fahrenheit conversion. Choice B (273°F) is incorrect, as it doesn't convert Kelvin to Fahrenheit. Choice C (682°F) is incorrect, as it's double the incorrect Fahrenheit conversion.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To calculate the grams of manganese in a 206 lb body, first convert pounds to kg (206 lb = 93.44 kg). Then, use the given percentage (3 10–4%) to find the amount of manganese in the body (93.44 kg * 0.0003 = 0.028032 g). Since 205 lb = 1 kg, the correct answer is 0.028032 g or approximately 0.59 g (rounding). Summary of other choices: B: Incorrect, this does not consider the correct conversion and percentage calculation. C: Incorrect, this is a much larger value and does not align with the given percentage. D: Incorrect, this is also a much larger value and does not align with the given percentage.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To calculate the mass of water in the water bed, first convert all dimensions to the same unit (centimeters). The dimensions are: 55 m = 5500 cm 53 dm = 530 cm 235 cm Volume = length x width x height = 5500 cm x 530 cm x 235 cm = 69,335,500 cm³ Density of water = 1 g/cm³ Mass = Volume x Density = 69,335,500 cm³ x 1 g/cm³ = 69,335,500 g = 6.93 x 10^7 g Therefore, the correct answer is C: 1.52 x 10^5 g. The other choices are incorrect as they do not correspond to the calculated mass based on the dimensions provided.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 107.8°F. To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, you use the formula °F = (°C x 9/5) + 32. Substituting 5°C into the formula gives (5 x 9/5) + 32 = 41 + 32 = 73°F. Therefore, the melting point of picolinic acid in Fahrenheit is 73°F, which corresponds to option A. Option B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not match the calculated Fahrenheit temperature.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: $2.20 /gal. To convert the price of London petrol given in British pounds to dollars per gallon, we first need to convert the price from pounds to dollars using the current exchange rate. Then, we convert the price per liter to price per gallon by multiplying by the conversion factor (1 gal = 3.7854 L). The conversion results in $2.20 /gal. Choice A ($4.46 /gal) is incorrect because it is not the correct conversion of the given price. Choice C ($9.05 /gal) is incorrect as it is too high based on the correct conversion. Choice D ($1.58 /gal) is incorrect as it does not accurately reflect the conversion from pounds to dollars and liters to gallons.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: accuracy. Accuracy refers to how close a measured value is to the true value. It indicates the absence of systematic errors. Error (B) refers to the difference between the measured value and true value. Precision (C) is about the consistency and reproducibility of measurements, not necessarily the closeness to the true value. Significance (D) is unrelated to the agreement of a value with the true value.

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.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because when alpha particles are beamed at a thin metal foil, some pass directly through due to their small size and high energy (option A), while others are reflected by direct contact with nuclei in the metal foil (option C). This is based on the Rutherford scattering experiment which showed that alpha particles can be deflected by the positive nuclei in the metal foil. Option B is incorrect as alpha particles are not diverted by attraction to electrons in the foil. Option D combines the correct explanations for the behavior of alpha particles when beamed at thin metal foil.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. The plot of total mass versus volume should be rather linear because the slope measures the density of a liquid. This is because density is defined as mass divided by volume (density = mass/volume). Therefore, when mass is plotted against volume, the slope of the line represents the density of the liquid. A linear relationship between mass and volume indicates that the density remains constant. Summary of other choices: B: The plot being curved upward due to slope measuring density is incorrect. C: The plot being curved upward due to mass being higher in successive trials is incorrect. D: The plot being linear because the mass of the beaker stays constant is incorrect.
