Paper For Above instruction

Question 1

If a piece of metal has a mass of 1526 mg and a volume of 0.52 mL, what is the density of the metal? (1000 mg = 1 g, 1 cm³ = 1 mL)

Solution: First, convert milligrams to grams:

• Mass: 1526 mg = 1526 / 1000 = 1.526 g

Density is mass divided by volume:

• Density = 1.526 g / 0.52 mL = 2.935 g/mL

Question 2

Convert 502 mL to liters. Convert 0.0027 km to centimeters. Convert 2528.8 mm to meters.

• 502 mL = 502 / 1000 = 0.502 L
• 0.0027 km = 0.0027 × 100,000 = 270 cm (since 1 km = 100,000 cm)
• 2528.8 mm = 2528.8 / 1000 = 2.5288 m

Question 3

Express the following in scientific notation with 2 significant digits:

• 0.0027 km = 2.7 × 10⁻³ km
• 12,000,000 = 1.2 × 10⁷
• 102.2 mL = 1.02 × 10² mL
• 10,000 g = 1.0 × 10⁴ g
• 620 L = 6.2 × 10² L
• 12,321 km = 1.2 × 10⁴ km

Question 4

Determine the number of significant digits in each figure:

• 102.2 mL = 4 significant digits
• 10,000 g = 5 significant digits (assuming it's exact or specific; if not, typically 1 or 4, but for this context, assuming 5)
• 620 L = 3 significant digits
• 9.27 × 10⁴ mol = 3 significant digits
• 0.00025 mg = 2 significant digits
• 0.0010 cm = 2 significant digits
• 12,321 km = 5 significant digits
• 12.210 cm = 5 significant digits
• 9.23 × 10³ mol = 3 significant digits

Express the following in standard form:

• 9.27 × 0.286 × 0.37 × 10⁻³ = 9.27 × 0.286 × 0.37 × 10⁻³

Calculations:

• First compute the product: 9.27 × 0.286 ≈ 2.649, then × 0.37 ≈ 0.979
• Now multiply by 10⁻³: 0.979 × 10⁻³ ≈ 9.79 × 10⁻⁴

Question 5

Calculate the total volume dispensed from a burette given initial reading 1.28 mL and final reading 12.36 mL:

• Volume dispensed = 12.36 mL – 1.28 mL = 11.08 mL

Convert 60 miles per hour to meters per second:

• 1 mile = 1.609 km, so 60 miles = 60 × 1.609 = 96.54 km
• 96.540 km / hour = 96,540 meters / 3600 seconds ≈ 26.82 m/s

Additional Questions

Question 6: Density Calculation Using Displacement

The volume of water displaced = final reading – initial reading = 41.6 mL – 16.2 mL = 25.4 mL.

The mass of the jewelry = 52.6 g.

Density = mass / volume = 52.6 g / 25.4 mL ≈ 2.07 g/mL.

Question 7: Atomic Composition of Elements and Ions

• Beryllium (Be): Protons = 4, Neutrons = 5 (Atomic mass number 9 – 4), Electrons = 4
• Sodium (Na): Protons = 11, Electrons = 11 (neutral atom)
• Sodium ion (Na⁺): Protons = 11, Electrons = 10
• Chlorine (Cl): Protons = 17, Neutrons = 18 (Atomic mass number 35 – 17), Electrons = 17 (neutral)
• Chloride ion (Cl⁻): Protons = 17, Electrons = 18
• Calcium (Ca): Protons = 20, Neutrons = 20 (Atomic mass number 40 – 20), Electrons = 20
• Calcium ion (Ca²⁺): Protons = 20, Electrons = 18

Question 8: Electron Configurations

Carbon (C): 1s² 2s² 2p²

Nitrogen (N): 1s² 2s² 2p³

Oxygen (O): 1s² 2s² 2p⁴

Fluorine (F): 1s² 2s² 2p⁵

Iron (Fe): 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d⁶, or [Ar] 4s² 3d⁶

Magnesium (Mg): 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² or [Ne] 3s²

Calcium (Ca): [Ar] 4s²

Question 9: Specific Heat Applications

Energy to heat water from 25°C to 89°C (mass = 250 g):

• Energy = specific heat × mass × temperature change
• = 4.184 J/g°C × 250 g × (89 – 25)°C = 4.184 × 250 × 64 ≈ 66,944 J (66.9 kJ)

Energy to heat 65 L of water from 20°C to 92°C:

• Mass = 65,000 g (since 1 L water ≈ 1 kg)
• Energy = 4.184 J/g°C × 65,000 g × (92–20)°C = 4.184 × 65,000 × 72 ≈ 19,581,120 J (≈ 19,581 kJ)

Question 10: Temperature Conversions and Phase Changes

Convert 98°C to Kelvin:

• Kelvin = 98 + 273.15 ≈ 371.15 K

Convert 373 K to Celsius:

• °C = 373 – 273.15 ≈ 99.85°C

Energy to melt a 12 g ice cube:

• Heat of fusion = 334 J/g
• Total energy = 334 J/g × 12 g = 4,008 J

Energy to vaporize 2 L of water (2000 g):

• Heat of vaporization = 2260 J/g
• Total energy = 2260 J/g × 2000 g = 4,520,000 J
