Q: Which of the following is a correct conversion factor for changing 5.0 meters to centimeters?

$$1 \ \text{m} = 100 \ \text{cm}$$

Q: A nutrition label states that a food contains 9 g of fat, 4 g of protein, and 12 g of carbohydrates. Using the energy values (fat: 9 kcal/g, protein: 4 kcal/g, carbohydrate: 4 kcal/g), what is the total energy content of the food?

$$(9 \times 9) + (4 \times 4) + (12 \times 4) = 81 + 16 + 48 = 145 \ \text{kcal}$$

Q: A sample of water is heated from 25°C to 75°C. If the mass of water is 100 g and the specific heat of water is $$4.18 \ \text{J/g} \cdot \text{°C}$$, how much energy is required?

$$q = m \times c \times \Delta T = 100 \times 4.18 \times (75 - 25) = 100 \times 4.18 \times 50 = 20,900 \ \text{J}$$

Q: Which of the following is the correct formula for calculating density?

$$\text{Density} = \dfrac{\text{mass}}{\text{volume}}$$

Question 3

Which of the following is a correct conversion factor for changing 5.0 meters to centimeters?

Accepted Answer

$$1 \ 	ext{m} = 100 \ 	ext{cm}$$

Question 4

A nutrition label states that a food contains 9 g of fat, 4 g of protein, and 12 g of carbohydrates. Using the energy values (fat: 9 kcal/g, protein: 4 kcal/g, carbohydrate: 4 kcal/g), what is the total energy content of the food?

Accepted Answer

$$(9 	imes 9) + (4 	imes 4) + (12 	imes 4) = 81 + 16 + 48 = 145 \ 	ext{kcal}$$

Question 5

Which of the following is an example of a physical change?

Accepted Answer

Question 6

A sample of water is heated from 25°C to 75°C. If the mass of water is 100 g and the specific heat of water is $$4.18 \ 	ext{J/g} \cdot 	ext{°C}$$, how much energy is required?

Accepted Answer

$$q = m 	imes c 	imes \Delta T = 100 	imes 4.18 	imes (75 - 25) = 100 	imes 4.18 	imes 50 = 20,900 \ 	ext{J}$$

Question 7

Which of the following best describes an element?

Accepted Answer
