Chern 1A Test I

Sept. 2, 2005

Always show your work. Always include units and pay attention to significant figures.
Common units of volume: milliliter = mL = cm3 = cc
liter = L
Temperature Information:
OK (Kelvins) corresponds to-273.15 °C
o °C corresponds to 32°F (exactly)
100°C corresponds to 212°F (exactly)

7. Molar mass, like density, is an intensive quantity and a conversion factor. Atomic mass is the molar mass of
an element and is expressed in units of grams per mole (g/mol, as is any molar mass). From the periodic table, the
atomic mass of plutonium is 244.06 g/mol (or 244.06 amuJatom)
