CHAPTER 1MEASUREMENT AND PROBLEM SOLVINGRemind students that their answers to odd-numbered exercises may be slightly different from those given herebecause of rounding. Refer to Problem-Solving Hint: The "Correct" Answer in Chapter 1.Multiple Choice:1.(c).2.(b).3.(c).4.(b). The gram is the mass of one cm3of water, so the kilogram (1000g) and tonne (1000 kg) are all related to avolume of water. Only the pound is not related to a volume of water.5.(b).6.(b).7.(a).8.(d). A quart is slightly less than a liter, 2000 μL is 2 mL, and 2000 mL is 2 L, so 2000 mL has the greatest volume.9.(c). Micro-is 10-6, centi-is 10-2, nano-is 10-9, and milli-is 10-3, so nano-is the smallest.10.(d).11.(d).12.(c).13.(a). The kg is a unit of mass and the lb is a unit of force. At the surface of the Earth, 1 kg isequivalentto 2.2 lb,which means that a 1-kg object weighs 2.2 lb.14.(c). Because the μL is the smallest volume of those listed, you will need more of them to make up any given volume,and hence alarger numberof μL.Preview Mode
