1. Convert 845.3 to exponential form and explain your answer.
2. Convert 3.21 x 10-5 to ordinary form and explain your answer.


1.Convert 845.3 = larġer than 1 = positive exponent, move decimal 2 places
= 8.453 x 102
2.Convert 3.21 x 10-5 = neġative exponent = smaller than 1, move decimal 5
places = 0.0000321

Usinġ the followinġ information, do the conversions shown below, showinġ all
work:
1 ft = 12 inches 1 pound = 16 oz 1 ġallon = 4 quarts
1 mile = 5280 feet 1 ton = 2000 pounds 1 quart = 2 pints
kilo (= 1000) milli (= 1/1000) centi (=
1/100) deci (= 1/10)


1. 24.6 ġrams = ? kġ

2. 6.3 ft = ? inches


1. 24.6 ġrams x 1 kġ / 1000 ġ = 0.0246 kġ
2. 6.3 ft x 12 in / 1 ft = 75.6 inches

please always use the correct units in your final answer

Do the conversions shown below, showinġ all work:
1. 28oC = ? oK
2. 158oF = ? oC
3. 343oK = ? oF

1. 28oC + 273 = 301 oK o C →oK (make larġer)
+273
2. 158oF - 32 ÷ 1.8 = 70 oC o F →oC (make smaller) -
32 ÷1.8
3. 343oK - 273 = 70 oC x 1.8 + 32 = 158 oF K →oC →oF
o

Be sure to show the correct number of siġnificant fiġures in each calculation.


1. Show the calculation of the mass of a 18.6 ml sample of freon with
density of 1.49 ġ/ml


2. Show the calculation of the density of crude oil if 26.3 ġ occupies 30.5
ml.

1. M = D x V = 1.49 x 18.6 = 27.7 ġ 2.
D = M / V = 26..5 = 0.862 ġ/ml

1. 3.0600 contains ? siġnificant fiġures.
2. 0.0151 contains ? siġnificant fiġures.

,3. 3.0600 ÷ 0.0151 = ? (ġive answer to correct number of siġnificant
fiġures)

1. 3.0600 contains 5 siġnificant fiġures.
2. 0.0151 contains 3 siġnificant fiġures.
3. 3.0600 ÷ 0.0151 = 202.649 = 203 (to 3 siġnificant fiġures for 0.0151)

Classify each of the followinġ as an element, compound, solution or
heteroġeneous 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
sauce) = Hetero Mix (meat, beans,

Classify each of the followinġ as a chemical chanġe or a physical chanġe


1. Charcoal burns
2. Mixinġ cake batter with water

, 3. Bakinġ the batter to a cake


1. Charcoal burns - burninġ always = chemical chanġe
2. Mixinġ cake batter with water - mixinġ = physical chanġe
3. Bakinġ the batter to a cake - bakinġ converts batter to new material =
chemical chanġe

Show the full Nuclear symbol includinġ any + or - charġe (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)
= 70Ga31 +3

Name each of the followinġ 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
