August 31, 2011 (please print)

All answers must use the correct number of significant figures, and must show
units!

1. (2 points) SHOW ALL WORK. A 34.6 g bar of aluminum occupies 12.8 mL.
Calculate the density of aluminum.

d = m/v = 34.6/12.8 = 2.70 g/mL

2. (2 points) “A 3 g sample of calcium (an electrically conducting white metal that is

shiny, relatively soft, melts at 850 °C, and boils at 1440 °C) was placed into 1.0 L of
water at 25 °C. The calcium reacted slowly with the water to give bubbles of gaseous
hydrogen and a solution of the substance calcium hydroxide.” In this description, what
physical properties (name 3) and what chemical properties (name 1) are described?

Examples of physical properties: conducting, white, shiny, soft, mp, bp,…

Chemical property: reacts with water to give hydrogen and calcium hydroxide

3. (4 points) SHOW ALL WORK. A 2.00 g sample of zinc oxide (contains only zinc
and oxygen) contains 1.61 g of zinc. What mass of oxygen would be contained in a
sample that weighs 4.75 g?

2.00 – 1.61 = 0.39 g O

(0.39 g O)/(2.00 g total) = (x g O)/(4.75 g total)
(4.75)(0.39)/(2.00) = 0.93 g O
Note that this method gives an answer with two sig fig, but other methods may give three
sig fig answers, such as finding percentage and multiplying by that number.

4. (2 points) Fill in the blanks.

1 Tg = __1012_____ g

1 L = ___10-6_____ L

1 Mm = ___106_____ m

1 fL = ___10-15_____ L
5. (4 points) SHOW ALL WORK. Convert 136 °F to K.

K = °C + 273.15
°C = (°F – 32)(5/9)
Here, °C = (136 – 32)(5/9) = (104)(5/9) = 57.78 °C
K = 57.78 + 273.15 = 330.9 K
(Last significant digit is underlined, for Celsius temp)

5. (5 points) SHOW ALL WORK. The recommended adult dose of ubiquotracin is 3.75
mg/kg of body mass. Calculate the dose in mg for a 142-lb person.

(142 lbs person) x (454 g person)/(1 lb person) x (1 kg person)/(1000 g person) x (3.75

mg med)/(1 kg person) = 242 mg med

All answers must use the correct number of significant figures, and must show
units!

1. (2 points) SHOW ALL WORK. A 82.9 g bar of copper occupies 9.27 mL. Calculate
the density of aluminum [should say copper!].

d = m/v = 82.9/9.27 = 8.94 g/mL

2. (2 points) “A 3 g sample of calcium (an electrically conducting white metal that is

shiny, relatively soft, melts at 850 °C, and boils at 1440 °C) was placed into 1.0 L of
water at 25 °C. The calcium reacted slowly with the water to give bubbles of gaseous
hydrogen and a solution of the substance calcium hydroxide.” In this description, what
intensive properties (name 3) and what extensive properties (name 1) are described?

Examples of intensive properties: conducting, white, shiny, soft, mp, bp,…

Examples of extensive properties: mass (e.g. 3 g calcium), volume (1.0 L water)

3. (4 points) SHOW ALL WORK. A 2.00 g sample of zinc oxide (contains only zinc
and oxygen) contains 0.39 g of oxygen. What mass of zinc would be contained in a
sample that weighs 4.75 g?

2.00 – 0.39 = 1.61 g Zn

(1.61 g Zn)/(2.00 g total) = (x g Zn)/(4.75 g total)
(1.61)(4.75)/(2.00) = 3.82 g Zn

4. (2 points) Fill in the blanks.

1 gL = __109__ L

1 dm = __10-1_____ m

1 cg = ___10-2___ g

1 pm = __10-12___ m
5. (4 points) SHOW ALL WORK. Convert 36.2 °F to K.

K = °C + 273.15
°C = (°F – 32)(5/9)
Here, °C = (36.2 – 32)(5/9) = (4.2)(5/9) = 2.33 °C
K = 2.33 + 273.15 = 275.5 K
(Last significant digit is underlined, for Celsius temp)

6. (5 points) SHOW ALL WORK. The recommended adult dose of ubiquotracin is 6.00
mg/kg of body mass. Calculate the dose in mg for a 115-lb person.

(115 lb person) x (454 g person)/(1 lb person) x (1 kg person)/(1000 g person) x (6.00 mg

med)/(1 kg person) = 313 mg med

All answers must use the correct number of significant figures, and must show
units!

1. (2 points) SHOW ALL WORK. A 7.10 g sample of nitric acid occupies 5.00 mL.
Calculate the density of nitric acid.

d = m/v = 7.10/5.00 = 1.42 g/mL

2. (2 points) “A 5 g sample of calcium (an electrically conducting white metal that is

shiny, relatively soft, melts at 850 °C, and boils at 1440 °C) was placed into 2.0 L of
water at 25 °C. The calcium reacted slowly with the water to give bubbles of gaseous
hydrogen and a solution of the substance calcium hydroxide.” In this description, what
physical properties (name 3) and what chemical properties (name 1) are described?

Examples of physical properties: conducting, white, shiny, soft, mp, bp,…

3. (4 points) SHOW ALL WORK. A 2.00 g sample of zinc oxide (contains only zinc
and oxygen) contains 1.39 g of zinc. What mass of oxygen would be contained in a
sample that weighs 4.35 g?

2.00 – 1.39 = 0.61 g O

(0.61 g O)/(2.00 g total) = (x g O)/(4.35 g total)
(0.61)(4.35)/(2.00) = 1.3 g O
Note that this method gives an answer with two sig fig, but other methods may give three
sig fig answers, such as finding percentage and multiplying by that number.

4. (2 points) Fill in the blanks.

1 am = __10-18_____ m

1 kg = __103_____ g

1 ML = __106_____ L

1 ng = __10-9______ g
5. (4 points) SHOW ALL WORK. Convert 116.2 °F to K.

K = °C + 273.15
°C = (°F – 32)(5/9)
Here, °C = (116.2 – 32)(5/9) = (84.2)(5/9) = 46.77 °C
K = 46.77 + 273.15 = 319.9 K
(Last significant digit is underlined, for Celsius temp)

6. (5 points) SHOW ALL WORK. The recommended adult dose of ubiquomaxin is

4.50 mg/kg of body mass. Calculate the dose in mg for a 135-lb person.
