Q: A sample of gold has a mass of 19.3 g and a volume of 1.00 cm$$^3. $$What is the density of gold, and which equation should you use to solve this problem?

Density = $$\frac{\text{mass}}{\text{volume}} = \frac{19.3\ \text{g}}{1.00\ \text{cm}^3} = 19.3\ \text{g/cm}^3$$

Q: Convert 0.0250 kilometers to centimeters using the correct prefix multipliers.

$$0.0250\ \text{km} \times \frac{1000\ \text{m}}{1\ \text{km}} \times \frac{100\ \text{cm}}{1\ \text{m}} = 2500\ \text{cm}$$

Q: A patient’s temperature is measured at 39.0 $$^\circC. $$What is this temperature in Kelvin?

$$T(K) = T(^\circ C) + 273.15 = 39.0 + 273.15 = 312.15\ \text{K}$$

Q: A solution is prepared by dissolving 5.00 g of NaCl in enough water to make 250.0 mL of solution. What is the concentration of NaCl in g/L?

$$\frac{5.00\ \text{g}}{0.250\ \text{L}} = 20.0\ \text{g/L}$$
