  • 2. 

    When is it proper to round significant figures during a series of calculations?

    • It doesn't matter

    • The beginning

    • The middle

    • The end

    Correct Answer
    A. The end
    Explanation
    Rules for Rounding #1: In a series of calculations, carry the extra digits through to the final result, then round.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    Anything that occupies space is called what?

    • Atoms

    • Matter

    • Density

    • Mass

    Correct Answer
    A. Matter
    Explanation
    definition

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Which of the following mixtures has distinguishable parts?

    • Heterogeneous

    • Homogeneous

    Correct Answer
    A. Heterogeneous
    Explanation
    definition

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    How many significant figures is in the following number? 0.0105 g of caffeine

    • 5

    • 4

    • 3

    • 2

    Correct Answer
    A. 3
    Explanation
    The first two zeroes would be "leading zeros", which means they are there simply to tell where the decimal point is. "Leading zeroes" do not count as significant figures. The non-zero digits (1 and 5 in this case) always count, and so does the "captive zero" in between them. Thus, making this problem have 3 sig figs.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Please round the following number to two significant figures. 4.348

    • 4.4

    • 4.3

    • 4.5

    • 4.35

    Correct Answer
    A. 4.3
    Explanation
    First, look at the number directly to the right of the 3. Since it is less than 5, it gets rounded down to 4.3. DO NOT round from the end of the number.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    How many significant figures are in the following number? 0.050080 g in a chemical analysis

    • 6

    • 5

    • 4

    • 2

    Correct Answer
    A. 5
    Explanation
    The two "leading zeroes" do not count as significant figures. And the final zero is considered a "trailing zero", thus it would count since there is a decimal point in this number. The non-zero digits (5 and 8 in this case) would count, and so would the "captive zeroes" in between. Captive zeroes always count as sig figs. This would make 5 sig figs in this number.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Converting results from one system of units to another is commonly called what?

    • Significant figures

    • Calculations

    • Chemistry

    • Dimensional analysis

    Correct Answer
    A. Dimensional analysis
    Explanation
    definition

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    A pencil is 5.08 in long.  What is its length in centimeters?

    • 17.8cm

    • 12.9cm

    • 2.54cm

    • 5.08cm

    Correct Answer
    A. 12.9cm
    Explanation
    5.08in x 2.54cm/1in = 12.9032cm

    This rounds to 12.9cm since the limiting term has 3 significant figures.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    100 degrees Celsius is equal to what temperature on the Kelvin scale?

    • 313.15

    • 373.15

    • 273.15

    • 213.15

    Correct Answer
    A. 373.15
    Explanation
    K= C + 273.15

    100 + 273.15 = 373.15 K

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    Which of the following substances cannot be decomposed into simpler substances by chemical or physical means?

    • Solutions

    • Pure substances

    • Compounds

    • Elements

    Correct Answer
    A. Elements
    Explanation

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    212 degrees Fahrenheit is equal to what temperature in Celsius?

    • 37

    • 100

    • 98.6

    • 180

    Correct Answer
    A. 100
    Explanation
    (F - 32)(5/9) = C

    (212-32)(5/9) = 100

    Rate this question:

  • 13.

    • 7.0

    • 7.00

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. 7.2
    A. 7
    Explanation
    Since the limiting term has no decimal places, the answer will mirror that fact. This makes your answer have NO decimal places, leaving it to be displayed simply as 7.
