Chapter 2 Practice Problems #1

Dimensional Analysis
Solve each of the following problems using the dimensional analysis process. Use a separate sheet of paper and show your set-up. Use the following conversion factors as needed. 1 in = 2.54 cm 1 km = 0.621 mile 1 gal = 3.78 L 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 1quart = 946 mL 1 kg = 2.2 pounds 1 lb = 454 g

Convert 5 days to hours. Convert 3.50 liters to mL. Convert 1 Ms to hr. Convert 147 cm/s to m/s. Convert 60 miles/hour to feet/second. Convert 8.6 g/mL to pounds/gallon. 7. A balloon has a volume of 350 cm3. What is the volume in m3? 8. You need 4.0 ounces of a steroid ointment. If there are 16 oz. in 1 pound, how many grams of ointment does the pharmacist need to prepare? 9. During surgery, a person receives 5.0 pints of plasma. How many milliliters of plasma were given? 10. A typical car may get 30 miles per gallon of gasoline. What is this in metric units, km/L?

Density
Solve each of the following problems using the density equation. Rearrange the equation as needed to isolate the variable. Use a separate sheet of paper and show your set-up. 1. An object is dropped into a graduated cylinder, which contains 32.3 ml of water. The object sinks bringing the water level to a level of 54.7 ml. After massing the object at 23.085 grams, calculate the density of the object. 2. If the mass of a solid object is 34.875 grams and the volume is 5.5 cubic centimeters, what is the density? 3. The density of aluminum is 2.70 g/cm3. What is the mass of a 15.0 mL of sample? 4. What is the volume of 25 g of ethyl alcohol (density = 0.79 g/mL)?
