A1. How many significant figures in the following number: 3.050 10-3 m?
A. 2 B. 3 C. 4
D. 5 E. None of the above
The number of SF in 3.050 10-3, is the same than in 3.050. For numbers greater than 1, all the
zeros to the right of the decimal point are significant. So, 3.050 10-3 contains 4 SF.
A2. How many cm is in 123 nm?
A. 1.2310-1 cm B. 1.2310-2 cm C. 1.2310-3 cm
-5
D. 1.2310-4 cm E. 1.2310 cm
Knowing that: 1 nm = 10-9 m and 1 cm = 10-2 m, 123 nm is converted to cm using a two-
step dimensional analysis:
10−9 𝑚 1 𝑐𝑚
123 𝑛𝑚 × × −2 = 1.23 × 10(2−9+2) 𝑐𝑚 = 1.23 × 10−5 𝑐𝑚
1𝑛𝑚 10 𝑚
A3. Carry out the following calculation to the correct number of significant figures:
3.463 × 3.17 =
A. 10.97771 B. 10.9777 C. 10.978
D. 10.98 E. 11.0
For a multiplication, the result should be rounded to a number having the smallest number of SF
of the members of the calculation (3 SF in 3.17): 3.463 × 3.17 = 10.97771. The result should be
converted to 3 SF: 11.0
A4. The name of Na3N is:
A. Sodium nitrate B. Sodium nitride C. Sodium nitrite
D. Trisodium nitrate E. Trisodium nitrite
Na3N is an ionic compound containing sodium as a alkaline metal cation (Na+) and monoatomic
anion from nitrogen (N3-). An ionic compound is named first by its cation and then by its anion.
Name first the metal and then the non-metal adding the “ide” to the root of the element nitrogen:
Sodium nitride.

, A.5 The formula of tetraphosphorus decoxide is:
A. P2O5 B. P2O3 C. P4O10
D. P3O7 E. P8O20
Tetraphosphorus decoxide is a molecular compound containing four phosphorus atoms
(the prefix “tetra” designates 4) and ten oxygen atoms (the prefix “deca” designates 10)
in its molecular formula. Thus, the molecular formula is P4O10.
A6. The formula of sodium hydrogen tetraborate pentahydrate is (H2B4O7 is tetraboric acid):
A. Na2B4O5. 4H2O B. NaHB4O7. 5H2O C. Na3B4O6. 7H2O
D. Na3HB4O7. 5H2O E. Na2HB4O7. 5H2O
H2B4O7 is tetraboric acid, then B4O72- is tetraborate and HB4O7- is hydrogen tetraborate. sodium
hydrogen tetraborate is NaHB4O7 and sodium hydrogen tetraborate pentahydrate (pentahydrate
indicates 5 H2O attached to the ionic compound) is: NaHB4O7. 5H2O.
A7. Write a balanced equation to show the reaction of gaseous ethane (C2H6) with gaseous
dioxygen (O2) to form carbon monoxide gas and water vapor.
A. 2 C2H6(g) + 7 O2(g) → 4 CO2 (g) + 6 H2O(g)
B. C2H6(g) + 5 O(g) → 2 CO(g) + 3 H2O(g)
C. 2 C2H6(g) + 5 O2(g) → 4 CO(g) + 6 H2O(g)
D. C2H6(g) + 7 O(g) → 2 CO2(g) + 3 H2O(g)
E. 2 CH3 (g) + 5 O(g) → 2 CO(g) + 3 H2O(g)

acid (HCl) to form ACl(aq), H2O(l) and CO2(g): M2CO3(aq)+2HCl(aq) 2ACl(aq)+CO2(g)+H2O(l).
The excess of HCl requires 50.0 mL of 0.100 M NaOH aqueous solution. After determining the
