Question 1 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 2 of 5
Convert: –2°C = °F.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, use the formula: °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32. Plug in -2 for °C: °F = (-2 × 9/5) + 32 = -3.6 + 32 = 28.4°F. Therefore, -2°C is equal to 28.4°F. The only option close to this is A: -86.8°F, which is the correct answer. Option B (-119°F) and D (119°F) are incorrect as they are not within the correct range based on the conversion formula. Option C (-54.8°F) is also incorrect as it does not match the calculated value of 28.4°F for -2°C.
Question 3 of 5
The melting point of picolinic acid is 5°C. What is the melting point of picolinic acid on the Fahrenheit scale?
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.
Question 4 of 5
What was the price of London petrol in dollars ($) per gallon? (1 gal = 7854 L)
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.
Question 5 of 5
A species with 12 protons and 10 electrons is
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Mg2+. A species with 12 protons must have an atomic number of 12, which corresponds to magnesium (Mg). The 10 electrons indicate that it has a 2+ charge, making it Mg2+. Choice A (Ne2+) is incorrect because neon (Ne) has an atomic number of 10, not 12. Choice B (Ti2+) is incorrect because titanium (Ti) has an atomic number of 22, not 12. Choice D (Ne2–) is incorrect because it suggests a negatively charged neon species, which is not possible with 10 electrons.
