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
On a new temperature scale (°Z), water boils at 0°Z and freezes at 0°Z. Calculate the normal human body temperature using this temperature scale. On the Celsius scale, normal human body temperature could typically be 1°C, and water boils at 0°C and freezes at 00°C.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To calculate normal human body temperature in °Z, we can use the formula: °Z = (°C + 100) / 2. Given that normal human body temperature in Celsius is 37°C, we substitute this into the formula: (37 + 100) / 2 = 137 / 2 = 68.5°Z. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 2968°Z, as it is the closest to 68.5°Z. Summary of other choices: B: 12.4°Z - This is too low, as human body temperature is higher. C: 111°Z - This is too high, as it exceeds the calculated value of 68.5°Z.
Question 3 of 5
The density of gasoline is 7025 g/mL at 20°C. When gasoline is added to water:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because gasoline has a lower density compared to water. Due to the principle of buoyancy, objects with lower density will float on top of those with higher density. Gasoline will float on top of water because it is less dense. Choices B and C are incorrect as gasoline's density is lower than water's, so it will not sink or mix completely. Choice D is incorrect as mixing gasoline with water will not necessarily improve motor performance.
Question 4 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 5 of 5
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?
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
