A) 1100 g

B) 0.11 g

C) 11 g

D) 0.24 g

E) none of these is correct

2. In 1928, rhenium cost $10,000/kg. It now costs $40/troy ounce. What is the present cost of a gram of rhenium? (1 troy ounce = 31.10 g)

A) less than $1.00

B) between $1.00 and $10

C) between $10 and $50

D) between $50 and $100

E) over $100

3. What data would you need to estimate the money you would spend on gas to drive your car from Los Angeles to Chicago? Provide a sample calculation.

4. In a recent accident some drums of uranium hexafluoride were lost in the English Channel. The melting point of uranium hexafluoride is 64.5°C. What is the melting point of uranium hexafluoride on the Fahrenheit scale? (TF = TC ´ (9°F/5°C) + 32°F)

A) 1.35°F

B) 82.3°F

C) 116°F

D) 122°F

E) 148°F

A) solid

B) liquid

C) gas

D) not enough information

E) At 323°F, the indium is partially solid and partially liquid; there is an equilibrium between the two states.

6. Convert: –40.0 °C = ____ °F. (TF = TC ´ (9°F/5°C) + 32°F)

A) it will float on top.

B) it will sink to the bottom.

C) it will mix so you can't see it.

D) the mixture will improve the running of the motor.

E) none of these things will happen.

9. The density of a liquid is determined by successively weighing 25, 50, 75, 100, and 125 mL of the liquid in a 250-mL beaker. If volume of liquid is plotted along the horizontal axis, and total mass of beaker plus liquid is plotted on the vertical axis:

A) the x, or horizontal, intercept is the negative value of the weight of the beaker.

B) the y, or vertical, intercept is the weight of the empty beaker.

C) the slope of the line is 1.0.

D) the line will pass through the origin.

E) the slope of the line is independent of the identity of the liquid.

10. The boiling of water is a

A) physical change because the water merely disappears.

B) physical change because the gaseous water is chemically the same as the liquid.

C) chemical change because heat is needed for the process to occur.

D) chemical change because a gas (steam) is given off.

E) chemical and physical damage.

    I took Gen Chem in college last year but I don't feel like doing all that math.

    8) If gasoline will probably float on top of the water... I don't remember if it's polar or not. Density of water is 1 so densities >1 will float.

    10) is b. Matter never "disappears"
