Question 1 of 5
A scientist obtains the number 0.045006700 on a calculator. If this number actually has four significant figures, how should it be written?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: 0.045. When dealing with significant figures, trailing zeros after the decimal point are considered significant. In this case, the number 0.045006700 should be rounded to 0.045 since it has four significant figures. Choice A has too many significant figures, B rounds incorrectly, and D removes significant figures after the decimal point. Thus, C is the correct choice.
Question 2 of 5
Express the volume 781.2CM3 in liters.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: To convert cm3 to liters, divide by 1000 as 1 liter = 1000 cm3. Therefore, 781.2 cm3 ÷ 1000 = 0.7812 L. Correct answer is D: 0.7812 L. Other choices are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct conversion from cm3 to liters.
Question 3 of 5
The chemist credited for inventing a set of symbols for writing elements and a system for writing the formulas of compounds (and for discovering selenium, silicon, and thorium) is
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Berzelius. Berzelius is credited with inventing symbols for elements and a system for writing compound formulas. He also discovered selenium, silicon, and thorium. Berzelius made significant contributions to the field of chemistry. A: Boyle is known for Boyle's Law related to gases, not for inventing chemical symbols or discovering elements. B: Lavoisier is known as the father of modern chemistry but did not invent chemical symbols or discover these elements. C: Priestly is known for discovering oxygen, but not for the specific contributions mentioned in the question.
Question 4 of 5
The melting point of indium is 2°C. At 323°F, what is the physical state of indium?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To determine the physical state of indium at 323°F, we convert the temperature to Celsius (323°F = 161.7°C). Since the melting point of indium is 2°C, which is lower than 161.7°C, indium would be in a liquid state at 323°F. The correct choice is B: Liquid. A: Solid - Incorrect because indium is in a liquid state at 323°F. C: Gas - Incorrect, as indium would be in a liquid state at 323°F. D: Not enough information - Incorrect since the temperature provided allows us to determine the physical state of indium.
Question 5 of 5
The density of oleic acid is 895 g / mL. What is the thickness of the monolayer (the length of an oleic acid molecule)?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. To calculate the thickness of the monolayer, we need to use the formula thickness = density / (Avogadro's number * molecular weight). Given the density of oleic acid (895 g/mL), we can substitute this value along with the molecular weight of oleic acid into the formula. By dividing the density by the product of Avogadro's number and the molecular weight, we obtain the thickness in cm. The other choices are incorrect because they do not consider the given density and relevant constants in the calculation. Choice A, C, and D do not follow the correct formula for determining the thickness of the monolayer.
