Question 1 of 5
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)
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.
Question 2 of 5
Order the four metric prefixes from smallest to largest.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct order is A: nano- < milli- < centi- < kilo-. The rationale is as follows: 1. Start from the smallest prefix, which is nano- representing 10^-9. 2. Moving up, milli- comes next representing 10^-3, which is larger than nano-. 3. Following milli- is centi- representing 10^-2, larger than milli-. 4. Lastly, kilo- is the largest prefix representing 10^3, making it the largest of the four options. Therefore, the correct order is nano- < milli- < centi- < kilo-. The other choices are incorrect because they do not follow the correct increasing order of magnitude for the metric prefixes.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following metric relationships is incorrect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: 1 gram = 10^3 kilograms. This is incorrect because 1 kilogram is equal to 1000 grams, not 100 grams. A is correct as 1 microliter is indeed 10^-6 liters. C is correct as 10^3 milliliters equals 1 liter. D is correct as 1 gram is equal to 10^2 centigrams. The incorrect relationship in choice B violates the metric system conversion factor of 1 kilogram being equal to 1000 grams.
Question 4 of 5
The agreement of a particular value with the true value is called
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.
Question 5 of 5
Bromine exists naturally as a mixture of bromine-79 and bromine-81 isotopes. An atom of bromine-79 contains
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because Bromine-79 has an atomic number of 35, indicating the number of protons. Neutrons are calculated by subtracting the atomic number from the mass number, so Bromine-79 with a mass number of 79 has 44 neutrons. Electrons are equal to the number of protons in a neutral atom, so there are 35 electrons in an atom of Bromine-79. Choice B is incorrect because it does not account for the correct number of neutrons present in Bromine-79. Choice C is incorrect as it has an incorrect number of protons and electrons for Bromine-79. Choice D is incorrect as it incorrectly assigns 79 neutrons to Bromine-79, which is the total mass number, not the number of neutrons.
