Chapter 1: Problem 28

Perform the following conversions. (a) \(1.55 \mathrm{kg}=\)________\(\mathrm{g}\) (b) \(642 \mathrm{g}=\)________\(\mathrm{kg}\) (c) \(2896 \mathrm{mm}=\)________\(\mathrm{cm}\) (d) \(0.086 \mathrm{cm}=\)________\(\mathrm{mm}\)

Short Answer

Expert verified
(a) 1550 grams, (b) 0.642 kilograms, (c) 289.6 centimeters, (d) 0.86 millimeters

Step by step solution

01

Convert Kilograms to grams

To convert kilograms (kg) to grams (g) multiply by the conversion factor of 1000 (1kg = 1000g). So, \(1.55 \mathrm{kg}\) equals \(1.55 \times 1000 = 1550 \mathrm{g}\)
02

Convert grams to Kilograms

To convert grams (g) to kilograms (kg) divide by the conversion factor of 1000 (1kg = 1000g). So, \(642 \mathrm{g}\) equals \(642 \div 1000 = 0.642 \mathrm{kg}\)
03

Convert millimeters to centimeters

To convert millimeters (mm) to centimeters (cm) divide by the conversion factor of 10 (1cm = 10mm). So, \(2896 \mathrm{mm}\) equals \(2896 \div 10 = 289.6 \mathrm{cm}\)
04

Convert centimeters to millimeters

To convert centimeters (cm) to millimeters (mm) multiply by the conversion factor of 10 (1cm = 10mm). So, \(0.086 \mathrm{cm}\) equals \(0.086 \times 10 = 0.86 \mathrm{mm}\)

A common belief among scientists is that there exists an underlying order to nature. Einstein described this belief in the words "God is subtle, but He is not malicious." What do you think Einstein meant by this remark?

In normal blood, there are about \(5.4 \times 10^{9}\) red blood cells per milliliter. The volume of a red blood cell is about \(90.0 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{cm}^{3},\) and its density is \(1.096 \mathrm{g} / \mathrm{mL}\) How many liters of whole blood would be needed to collect \(0.5 \mathrm{kg}\) of red blood cells?

For a solution containing \(6.38 \%\) para-diclorobenzene by mass in benzene, the density of the solution as a function of temperature ( \(t\) ) in the temperature range 15 to \(65^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) is given by the equation \(d(\mathrm{g} / \mathrm{mL})=1.5794-1.836 \times 10^{-3}(t-15)\) At what temperature will the solution have a density of \(1.543 \mathrm{g} / \mathrm{mL} ?\)

Perform the following calculations and retain the appropriate number of significant figures in each result. (a) \(\left(38.4 \times 10^{-3}\right) \times\left(6.36 \times 10^{5}\right)=\) (b) \(\frac{\left(1.45 \times 10^{2}\right) \times\left(8.76 \times 10^{-4}\right)}{\left(9.2 \times 10^{-3}\right)^{2}}=\) (c) \(24.6+18.35-2.98=\) (d) \(\left(1.646 \times 10^{3}\right)-\left(2.18 \times 10^{2}\right)+\left[\left(1.36 \times 10^{4}\right)\right.\) [Hint: The significant figure rule for the extraction of a root is the same as for multiplication.] \(\left.\times\left(5.17 \times 10^{-2}\right)\right]=\) (e) \(\frac{-7.29 \times 10^{-4}+\sqrt{\left(7.29 \times 10^{-4}\right)^{2}+4(1.00)\left(2.7 \times 10^{-5}\right)}}{2 \times(1.00)}\)

The highest and lowest temperatures on record for San Bernardino, California, are \(118^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\) and \(17^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\), respectively. What are these temperatures on the Celsius scale?
