1. Convert 845.3 to
... [Show More] exponential form and explain your answer.
2. Convert 3.21 x 10-5 to ordinary form and explain your answer.
1. Convert 845.3 = larger than 1 = positive exponent, move decimal 2 places
= 8.453 x 102
2. Convert 3.21 x 10-5 = negative exponent = smaller than 1, move decimal 5 places = 0.0000321

Using the following information, do the conversions shown below, showing all work:
1 ft = 12 inches
1 pound = 16 oz
1 gallon = 4 quarts
1 mile = 5280 feet
1 ton = 2000 pounds
1 quart = 2 pints
kilo (= 1000) 1/100)
milli (= 1/1000) deci (= 1/10)
centi (=
1. 24.6 grams = ? kg
2. 6.3 ft = ? inches
1. 24.6 grams x 1 kg / 1000 g = 0.0246 kg
2. 6.3 ft x 12 in / 1 ft = 75.6 inches
please always use the correct units in your final answer
Question 3

Do the conversions shown below, showing all work:
1. 28oC = ? oK 2. 158oF = ? oC 3. 343oK = ? oF
1. 28oC + 273 = 301 oK oC → oK (make larger)
+273
2. 158oF - 32 ÷ 1.8 = 70 oC oF → oC (make smaller)
-32 ÷1.8
3. 343oK - 273 = 70 oC x 1.8 + 32 = 158 oF oK → oC → oF

Be sure to show the correct number of significant figures in each calculation.
1. Show the calculation of the mass of a 18.6 ml sample of freon with density of 1.49 g/ml
2. Show the calculation of the density of crude oil if 26.3 g occupies 30.5 ml.
1. M = D x V = 1.49 x 18.6 = 27.7 g
2. D = M / V = 26.3 / 30.5 = 0.862 g/ml
Question 5 Click this link to access the Periodic Table. This may be helpful throughout the exam.
1. 3.0600 contains ? significant figures.
2. 0.0151 contains ? significant figures.
3. 3.0600 ÷ 0.0151 = ? (give answer to correct number of significant figures)
1. 3.0600 contains 5 significant figures.
2. 0.0151 contains 3 significant figures.
3. 3.0600 ÷ 0.0151 = 202.649 = 203 (to 3 significant figures for 0.0151)
Question 6 Click this link to access the Periodic Table. This may be helpful throughout the exam.
Classify each of the following as an element, compound, solution or heterogeneous mixture and explain your answer.
1. Coca cola
2. Calcium
3. Chili
1. Coca cola - is not on periodic table (not element) - no element names (not compound)
appears to be one substance = Solution
2. Calcium - is on periodic table = Element
3. Chili - is not on periodic table (not element) - no element names (not compound)
appears as more than one substance (meat, beans,
sauce) = Hetero Mix

Classify each of the following as a chemical change or a physical change
1. Charcoal burns
2. Mixing cake batter with water
31
3. Baking the batter to a cake
1. Charcoal burns - burning always = chemical change
2. Mixing cake batter with water - mixing = physical change
3. Baking the batter to a cake - baking converts batter to new material = chemical change

Show the full Nuclear symbol including any + or - charge (n), the atomic number (y), the mass number (x) and the correct element symbol (Z) for each element for which the protons, neutrons and electrons are shown - symbol should appear as follows: xZy+/- n
31 protons, 39 neutrons, 28 electrons
31 protons = Ga31, 39 neutrons = 70Ga31, 28 electrons = (+31 - 28 = +3)
= 70Ga +3

Name each of the following chemical compounds. Be sure to name all acids as acids (NOT for instance as binary compounds)
1. PF5
2. Al2(CO3)3
3. H2CrO4
1. PF5 - binary molecular = phosphorus pentafluoride
2. Al2(CO3)3 - nonbinary ionic = aluminum carbonate
