1 CHM 101 PRACTICE TEST 1 Page 1 of 4 Please show calculations (stuffed equations) on all mathematical problems!! On the actual test, "naked answers, with no work shown, will receive no credit even if correct. Incorrect answers for which work is shown may receive partial credit. Please answer all questions! You cannot receive any points for an item left blank. 1. Make the following metric conversions. a L to ml b cm to m c centigrams to milligrams 2. Make the following conversions between the metric and American systems. a. A baseball has a weight of ounces. What is its mass in grams? (1oz = g) b. A person is cm tall. What is her height in inches? (1 inch = 2.54 cm) 3. A patient with a fever has a temperature of F. What is his Celsius temperature? (Round your answer to the nearest 0.1 degree) 4. Alcohol boils at 78.5 C. What is this temperature in Fahrenheit? (Again, round your answer to the nearest 0.1 degree.)

Convert 8.02 x 10 5 to standard notation. c. Convert 276,000,000,000 to exponential notation. d. Convert 1.67 x 10-3 to standard notation. 7. Match each item in the left column with the one most correct item in the right column. Solid 1. Always consists of the same elements, in the same proportion by mass. Liquid 2. Examples are melting and boiling. 3. Has a definite volume; takes shape of bottom of Gas container. 4. Examples are burning and digestion Hyperthermia 5. The basic building blocks of matter 6. Takes both the volume and the shape of its Hypothermia container 7. Sometimes induced artificially in preparation for Compound heart surgery 8. Has both a definite volume and a definite shape Homogeneous mixture 9. Normal body temperature 10. Composition can very, but a given sample will be Heterogeneous mixture uniform throughout 11.
