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 = larger than 1 = positive exponent, move decimal 2 places = 8.453 x
102
2. Convert 3.21 x 10-5 = negative exponent = smaller than 1, move decimal 5 places =
0.0000321
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) milli (= 1/1000) centi (=
1/100) deci (= 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
,Question 3

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 o K → oC → oF
Question 4

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 density
of 1.49 g/ml
2. Show the calculation of the density of crude 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
Question 5

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)

Classify each of the following as an element, compound, solution or
heterogeneous mixture and explain your answer.
1. Coca cola
2. Calcium
3. Chili
1. Coca cola - is not on (not element) - no element names (not compound)
appears to be one substance = Solution
2. Calcium - is on = Element
3. Chili - is not on (not element) - no element names (not compound)
appears as more than one substance (meat, beans,
sauce) = Hetero Mix
