Instructor’s Comments:
GRADE []
Question 1
Solution
a. Move the decimal point four places to the left
In this case 3.56 X 104
Thus 35,600 = 3.56 X 104
b. Move the decimal point six places to the left
In this case 1.65
Thus 1.650000 = 1.65 X 10
c. Move the decimal point four places to the right
In this case 3.4
Thus 0.00035 = 3.5 X 10-4
d. Decimal moved two places to the right
In this case 1.9
Thus 0.019 = 1.9 X 10-2

Question 2
Solutions
a. The problem is 102 ℉, ? ℃
Given the formula
T ℉ − 32
T℃ =
1.80
102−32
=
1.80
70
=
1.80
= 38.9
That is 102 ℉ = 39℃

Question 3
Solution
given the percentage of
a) C = 80% and H = 20%
and relative atomic mass of
C =12 and H=1

divide the percentage by the atomic mass
80 20
=
12 1
6.67 20
=
6.67 6.67
=1 2.9
∴ Empirical Formula = CH3
b) To find the molecular formula, we have to take the following steps:
MolarMass
=
AtomicMass
30
=
13
n=2
n(empirical formula)
2(CH3)
∴ Molecular Formula = C2H6

Question 4
Solution
Physical and chemical change
● According to Zumdahl (2008), physical changes include a change in one or more physical
properties, but no change in the basic components that makes up the substance, however, is
a chemical change in the basic composition of the substance changes.
● Physical changes can be reversible as the original substance can be recovered while the
chemical change can not be reversed because the substance involved in the chemical
reaction vanishes (Chang, 2010, 14).
● No new product is formed in the physical change although, in a chemical change, a
substance changes into one or more different substances (Zumdahl, 2003).
● The nature of the substance also contributes to the difference between physical and chemical
change, in a physical change, particles of which it is composed and the number of particles
remains unchanged. The best example that can be given is the change of state in which
water goes through, it can be a liquid (Water), Gas (Water Vapor/Steam), or Solid (Ice).
While in chemical changes, the properties of a new substance will be different from the
original substance, and the number of particles changes. The example given can be
combustion, where burning Hydrocarbon forms two new elements (Water Vapor and
Carbon plus heat) (lisbdnet.com, 2021).
Element and compounds
● An element is a substance that only contains one type of atom and cannot be broken down
chemically into other substances. For instance, oxygen is made up of only one atom.
Another example is the hydrogen element; it is made up of only one atom. while A
compound is a substance made up of two or more distinct atoms that can be broken down
chemically. As an example, consider the chemical combination of sodium and chlorine.

● Compounds are represented by chemical formulas, whereas elements are represented by
symbols.
Homogeneous and Heterogeneous mixtures
● A homogeneous mixture is one in which the components are combined uniformly and there
is no visual distinction between them. for example, salt that has dissolved in water. In
contrast, A heterogeneous mixture is one with an uneven composition of elements and there
is a visual distinction between components. a good example is cereal’s in milk.
● A homogeneous mixture can not be physically separated while a heterogeneous mixture can
be separated physically.
● A homogeneous mixture is one that has one phase while a heterogeneous has two or more
phases (Zumdahl, 2008).

Question 5
Solution
a. NH4NO2 (aq) N2(g) + 2 H2O(l)
b. 4HNO2(aq) 2N2O2(g) + 2H2O(l) + 3O2(g)

Question 6
A. Calcium Oxide (Chang, 2010)
B. Magnesium Chloride (Chang, 2010)
C. Potassium Bromide (Chang, 2010)
D. Aluminum Oxide (Chang, 2010)

Question 7
Solution
data collection
41℃ ?℉
gieven the formula
T℉ = 1.80(T℃) + 32
= 1.80(41) + 32
= 1.80 ✕ 41 + 32
= 73.8 +32
= 105.8°
