The degree of agreement among several measurements of the same quantity is called . It reflects the reproducibility of a given type of measurement.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: precision. Precision refers to the degree of agreement among repeated measurements of the same quantity. It reflects how close the measurements are to each other, indicating reproducibility. Accuracy (choice A) is about how close a measurement is to the true value, not the agreement among multiple measurements. Error (choice B) is a deviation from the true value and not specifically related to the agreement among measurements. Significance (choice D) is about the importance or relevance of a result, not the consistency of measurements. Therefore, precision is the most appropriate term in this context.

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.

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.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B (5 significant figures) because leading zeros are not considered significant. In the number 04560700, the zeros before the 4 are placeholders and do not add to the precision of the number. Therefore, only the digits 4, 5, 6, 0, and 7 are significant. Choice A (4) is incorrect because it does not account for the zeros after the 6. Choice C (7) is incorrect as it counts all the digits including the leading zeros. Choice D (8) is incorrect as it includes all the digits, including non-significant zeros.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To calculate the grams of manganese in a 206 lb body, first convert pounds to kg (206 lb = 93.44 kg). Then, use the given percentage (3 10–4%) to find the amount of manganese in the body (93.44 kg * 0.0003 = 0.028032 g). Since 205 lb = 1 kg, the correct answer is 0.028032 g or approximately 0.59 g (rounding). Summary of other choices: B: Incorrect, this does not consider the correct conversion and percentage calculation. C: Incorrect, this is a much larger value and does not align with the given percentage. D: Incorrect, this is also a much larger value and does not align with the given percentage.

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.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C (3 significant figures). When calculating the perimeter of a rectangle, you add all the sides together. In this case, the perimeter would be 2(36 cm + 83 cm) = 238 cm. The least precise measurement given (83 cm) has 2 significant figures. Therefore, the final answer should be reported with the same number of significant figures as the least precise measurement, which is 3. Summary: A: 1 significant figure is too few. B: 2 significant figures are based on the least precise measurement. D: 4 significant figures are too many as it should match the least precise measurement.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To calculate the mass of water in the water bed, first convert all dimensions to the same unit (centimeters). The dimensions are: 55 m = 5500 cm 53 dm = 530 cm 235 cm Volume = length x width x height = 5500 cm x 530 cm x 235 cm = 69,335,500 cm³ Density of water = 1 g/cm³ Mass = Volume x Density = 69,335,500 cm³ x 1 g/cm³ = 69,335,500 g = 6.93 x 10^7 g Therefore, the correct answer is C: 1.52 x 10^5 g. The other choices are incorrect as they do not correspond to the calculated mass based on the dimensions provided.

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.
