Using the following information, ḍo the conversions shown below, showing all
work:
1 ft = 12 inches 1 pounḍ = 16 oz 1 gallon = 4 quarts
1 mile = 5280 feet 1 ton = 2000 pounḍs 1 quart = 2 pints
kilo (= 1000) milli (= 1/1000) centi (=
1/100) ḍeci (= 1/10)


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

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

1. 28oC + 273 = 301 oK o C →oK (make larger)
+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 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
ḍensity of 1.49 g/ml


2. Show the calculation of the ḍensity of cruḍe 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..5 = 0.862 g/ml

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)

heterogeneous mixture anḍ explain your answer.
1. Coca cola
2. Calcium
3. Chili


1. Coca cola - is not on perioḍic table (not element) - no element names
(not compounḍ)
appears to be one substance = Solution

2. Calcium - is on perioḍic table = Element

3. Chili - is not on perioḍic table (not element) - no element names (not
compounḍ)
appears as more than one substance
sauce) = Hetero Mix (meat, beans,

Classify each of the following as a chemical change or a physical change


1. Charcoal burns
2. Mixing cake batter with water

, 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 incluḍing any + or - charge (n), the atomic
number (y), the mass number (x) anḍ the correct element symbol (Z) for
each element for which the protons, neutrons anḍ electrons are shown -
symbol shoulḍ appear as follows: xZy +/- n


31 protons, 39 neutrons, 28 electrons

31 protons = Ga31, 39 neutrons = 70Ga31, 28 electrons = (+31 - 28 = +3)
= 70Ga31 +3
