1.
Three elements can be characterized as follows: a yellow nonconductor, a silvery
conductor, a silvery nonconductor. These elements are, respectively,
Your Answer: a nonmetal, metal, and a semimetal.

A nonmetal is a nonconductor, while both metals and nonmetals can have a silvery
appearance.
2.
Which set of elements has similar chemical properties?
Your Answer: Ba, Ca, Ra

These are all in group 2A so they do have similar chemical properties.
3.
Which of the following places the group of measurements in order from smallest to
largest?
Your Answer: 1 nL, 2 mL, 3 dL, 4 kL

n- is nano while k- is kilo.
4.
The average distance from the Earth to the Moon, 383,000,000 m, can also be
expressed as
Your Answer:
3.83 10
10
cm.

This answer correctly converts to cm as well as giving proper scientific notation. All the
zeros and the 83 should be counted when determining exponential notation.
5. If pressure is defined as force, (kg m)/s
2
, per unit area, m
2
, then the units for
pressure are
Your Answer:
kg/(m s
2
).
Notice that dividing by m
2
) leaves a factor of m in the denominator.
6.
Aspirin begins to melt at a temperature of 128 C. Which temperature shows the
correct temperature on the Kelvin or Fahrenheit scale for the melting point of aspirin?
Your Answer: 262 F is the melting point of aspirin.

You correctly made the size adjustment before making the zero-point adjustment.
7. Substance A has a density of 2.0 g/cm
3
while substance B has a density of 4.0 g/cm
3
.
Which statement correctly relates a sample of A to a sample of B?
Your Answer: If a sample of A has twice the mass of a sample of B, then the
volume of A is twice the volume of B.
Correct Answer: If a sample of A has twice the volume as a sample of B, then the
mass of A is equal to the mass of B.

The volume would be 4 times the volume of B since the density of A is one-half the
density of B.
8.
Which calculation shows the correct rounding to an appropriate number of significant
figures?
Your Answer:
4.532 m 22.0 m = 99.7 m
2

The answer correctly has only 3 significant figures.
9. What is the kinetic energy (in calories) of a 1.22 10
6
g truck moving at 105 km/hr?
Your Answer:
1.24 10
5
.

The kinetic energy of the truck is a very large number because calories are a fairly small
unit of measuring energy.
10.
Which property is an extensive, physical property of sugar?
Your Answer: The length of the edge of an average sugar crystal is less than 1 mm.

The size of a crystal is an extensive, physical property.
