Convert 2751.4 g to mg.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To convert grams to milligrams, you multiply by 1000. So, 2751.4 g * 1000 = 2751.4 mg. Therefore, choice C (275.14 mg) is correct. Choice A is incorrect as it incorrectly moves the decimal point. Choice B is incorrect as it doesn't account for the conversion factor. Choice D is incorrect as it incorrectly uses scientific notation.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because the Rutherford experiment actually disproved the Thomson "plum-pudding" model of the atom. Rutherford's experiment involved firing alpha particles at a thin gold foil and observing their scattering patterns. The results showed that atoms have a small, dense, positively charged nucleus, which contradicted the Thomson model. Choice B is correct as the experiment was indeed useful in determining the nuclear charge on the atom. Choice C is incorrect because Millikan's oil-drop experiment determined the charge on the electron, not just that it was a simple multiple. Choice D is incorrect as the electric discharge tube did show that electrons have a negative charge.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: 4. Significant figures are non-zero digits and zeros between them. In this case, only digits 6, 4, 2, and 8 are non-zero, making them all significant. Zeros before the first non-zero digit are not significant, so the zeros before 6 are not counted. Hence, there are 4 significant figures in the number 0006428. Choice A (7) is incorrect because it includes all digits, including the leading zeros, which are not significant. Choice B (3) is incorrect because it only considers the non-zero digits, excluding the zeros between them. Choice C (8) is incorrect because it counts all digits including leading zeros, which are not significant.

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.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert 9 kg to lb, we multiply 9 kg by the conversion factor of 2.205 lb/kg. 9 kg * 2.205 lb/kg = 19.845 lb, which is approximately 20 lb. Among the choices, 17 lbs (option A) is the closest to 20 lb, making it the correct answer. Option B (1.7 lbs), C (3.6 lbs), and D (0.017 lbs) are all significantly lower and do not match the conversion calculation.

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

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: solid. Uranium hexafluoride has a melting point of 148°F, which is equivalent to approximately 64.4°C. Since the water temperature in the English Channel is only about 17°C, the uranium hexafluoride would be below its melting point and thus in a solid state. The other choices are incorrect because the temperature is not high enough for it to be in a liquid or gaseous state, and there is no indication of it being a mixture of solid and liquid based on the given information.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Step 1: In measurement, certain digits are the numbers that are known for sure. Step 2: Uncertain digits are the last digit that is estimated or measured. Step 3: We record all the certain digits and one uncertain digit to indicate the precision of the measurement. Step 4: Choice A is incorrect because we do include uncertain digit(s) in the measurement. Step 5: Choice C and D are incorrect as including two or three uncertain digits would provide excessive precision beyond what is known for certain.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because a quantitative observation must contain both a number and a unit to provide a specific measurement. This ensures the observation is precise and can be accurately communicated. The other choices are incorrect because B is vague, C is not a requirement for quantitative observations, and D is not true as quantitative observations can also be obtained through measurements, not just experimentation.
