A 150.0 mg block at 22.5⁰C has a volume of 5,382 cm³.
Which answer choice represents BOTH the correct temperature of the block in Kelvin AND the correct density of the block in g/cm³?
- 72.5 ⁰K; 2.78 x 10⁻⁵ g/cm³
- 296 ⁰K; 2.78 x 10⁻⁵ g/cm³
- 296 ⁰K; 3.59 x 10⁴ g/cm³
- -250 ⁰K; 3.59 x 10⁻⁴ g/cm³
RATIONALE
Convert ⁰C to ⁰K by adding 273.15. Since d = m/v, both mass and volume are needed (in grams and cubic centirmeters, respectively, since that is the desired density unit in the question). Convert mg to g to determine mass.

To answer this question, you may need access to the periodic table of elements, a calculator, and the equations and charts in the tutorial associated with this question.
The pressure of a sample of gas is measured with an open-end manometer. The liquid in the manometer is mercury, and the liquid level on the left side is 6.00 in. higher than the liquid level on the right side (assume the gas chamber is on the left side).
Assuming atmospheric pressure is 29.92 in. Hg, determine the pressure of the gas in kPa.
- 608 kPa
- 81,100 kPa
- 0.811 kPa
- 81.1 kPa
RATIONALE
29.92 in. Hg – 6.00 in. Hg = 23.92 in. Hg. So, 23.92 in. Hg x (760 torr / 29.92 in. Hg) x (101325 Pa / 760 torr) x (1 kPa / 1,000 Pa) = 81.1 kPa

11
Which of these pairs of atoms would experience a polar covalent bond?
- P and S
- C and O
- K and Br
- Cl and Cl
RATIONALE
This would be a polar covalent bond, since it is a bond between two nonmetals whose differences in electronegativity values are in the polar covalent range.

When Ca(OH)₂ reacts with H₂SO₄ what are the products?
- Ca(OH)₂ and H₂SO₄
- CaSO₄ and H₂O
- CO₂ and H₂O
- CaO and H₂SO₄
RATIONALE
The products of a neutralization reaction are salt and water. The salt is formed from the cation of the base and the anion of the acid. In this case, the cation of the base is Ca²⁺ and the anion of the acid is SO₄²⁻, so the salt will be CaSO₄.

If 4.12 L of a 0.850 M H₃PO₄ solution is to be diluted to a volume of 10.00 L, what is the concentration of the resulting solution?
- 0.350 M
- 0.485 M
- 2.06 M

- combustion
- single displacement
- acid-base
- precipitation
RATIONALE
Propane is the reductant (fuel) and oxygen is the oxidant, producing carbon dioxide and water, so this is a combustion reaction.

Which of the following correctly expresses the value of 0.0149 in scientific notation AND in the SI unit for density?
- 1.49 x
- 1.49 x
g/mol
- 1.49 x
g/mol
- 1.49 x
RATIONALE
To convert to scientific notation, place the decimal after the first non-zero number. This yields 1.49. To get the decimal to this location, you moved 2 spots to the right (meaning a negative exponent), so 1.49 x 
. The SI unit for density is kilogram per cubic meter (
).
