  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.
  3. Convert 845.3 = larger than 1 = positive exponent, move decimal 2 places = 8.453 x 102
  4. Convert 3.21 x 10 -^5 = negative exponent = smaller than 1, move decimal 5 places = 0.

Question 2

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

  1. 3.0600 contains? significant figures.
  2. 0.0151 contains? significant figures.
  1. 3.0600 ÷ 0.0151 =? (give answer to correct number of significant figures)
  2. 3.0600 contains 5 significant figures.
  3. 0.0 151 contains 3 significant figures.
  4. 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
  4. Coca cola - is not on periodic table (not element) - no element names (not compound) appears to be one substance = Solution
  5. Calcium - is on periodic table = Element
  6. Chili - is not on periodic table (not element) - no element names (not compound) appears as more than one substance (meat, beans, sauce) = Hetero Mix

Question 7

Click this link to access the Periodic Table. This may be helpful throughout the exam. Classify each of the following as a chemical change or a physical change

y 31

Question 8

  1. Baking the batter to a cake
  2. Charcoal burns - burning always = chemical change
  3. Mixing cake batter with water - mixing = physical change
  4. Baking the batter to a cake - baking converts batter to new material = chemical change Click this link to access the Periodic Table. This may be helpful throughout the exam. 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: x Z +/-^ n 31 protons, 39 neutrons, 28 electrons 31 protons = Ga 31 , 39 neutrons = 70 Ga 31 , 28 electrons = (+31 - 28 = +3) = 70 Ga +

Question 9

Click this link to access the Periodic Table. This may be helpful throughout the exam. Name each of the following chemical compounds. Be sure to name all acids as acids (NOT for instance as binary compounds)

  1. PF 5
  2. Al 2 (CO 3 ) 3
  3. H 2 CrO 4
  1. PF 5 - binary molecular = phosphorus pentafluoride
  2. Al 2 (CO 3 ) 3 - nonbinary ionic = aluminum carbonate
