Convert 5C° to F°.

53% Answer Correctly

37

27

41

-23


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(5) + 32\)

\(F° = {45 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = 9 + 32 = 41\)


2

In the Periodic Table of the Elements, elements in the same column belong to the same:

64% Answer Correctly

period

family

group

atomic number


Solution

The columns of the Periodic Table are called groups and all elements in a group have the same number of electrons in their outer electron shell. The group that an element occupies generally determines its chemical properties as the number of outer shell electrons establishes the way it reacts with other elements to form molecules. So, because each element has the same number of electrons in its outer shell, each has similar reactivity.


3

In the heart, the __________ artery and vein manage blood flow to the lungs.

69% Answer Correctly

aorta

atrial

capillary

pulmonary


Solution

The two largest veins in the body, the venae cavae, pass blood to the right ventricle which pumps the blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery. Blood picks up oxygen in the lungs and returns it to the left atrium via the pulmonary vein.


4

-40°F is how many °C?

40% Answer Correctly

\({40 \over 9}\)

-8

-40

\(-{40 \over 9}\)


Solution

The formula to convert from F° to C° is:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-40 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-72) = {{-72 \times 5} \over 9}\)

\(C° = {-360 \over 9}\)

\(C° = -40\)


5

Atoms of an element whose atoms can vary in the number of neutrons in their nucleus are called which of the following?

64% Answer Correctly

ions

reactants

products

isotopes


Solution

The atomic mass of an element listed in the Periodic Table represents the average mass of a single atom of that element and is measured in atomic mass units (amu). This number is an average as some elements have isotopes with atoms that vary in their number of neturons and, therefore, differ in weight.
