1. Indicate the number of significant figures in the measured quantities: Gee die aantal beduidende syfers in die
gemete hoeveelhede:
1.1. 1282 kg 4
1.2. 0.00296 s 3
1.3. 8.070 mm 4
1.4. 5.404 x 10-4 4
1.5. 5.500 cm 4

2. Round the following numbers to four significant figures. Express the result in standard exponential notation:
Rond die getalle af tot vier beduidende syfers. Gee die resultaat in standaard exponensiele notasie:
2.1. 300.235800 3.002 x 102
2.2. 456500 4.565 x 105
2.3. 0.006543210 6.543 x 10-3
2.4. 0.000957830 9.578 x 10-4
2.5. 50.778 x 103 5.078 x 104

3. Calculate to the correct number of significant figures and decimal points: Bereken tot die korrekte getal
beduidende syfers en desimale punte:
3.1. 754 + (4.55 x 5.5) = 754 + 25.025 = 779.025 = 779
3.2. 863 x [1255 – (3.45 x 108)] = 863 x [1255 – 372.6] = 863 x 882.4 = 761511.2 = 7.62 x 105
3.3. [(285.3 x 105) – (1.200 x 103)] x 2.8954 = [(285.3 x 105) – (0.01200 x 105)] x (2.8954)
= 285.28800 x 105 x 2.8954 = 82602287.52 = 8.260 x 107
3.4. 320.55 – (6104.5/2.3) = 320.55 – 2654.130435 = -2333.580435 = -2.3 x 10-3
3.5. 13.577 – 21.6 = -8.0

4. Calculate the mass of a block of iron (density = 7.86 g/cm3) with dimensions 52.8 cm × 6.74 cm × 3.73 cm.
Bereken die massa van ‘n blok yster (dighteid = 7.86 g/cm3) met dimensies 52.8 cm x 6.74 cm x 3.73 cm.

5. The density of mercury is 13.6 g/mL. What is the mass of 0.00355 L of mercury? Die dighteid van kwik is
13.6 g/mL. Wat is die massa van 0.00355 L kwik?

6. Prove that the two gas constants R’ = 8.3145 J/K·mol and R” = 0.082058 L·atm/K·mol are equivalent. Hint,
convert R’ to R” or the other way around making use of the flowing conversion factors: 1 J = 1 Nm, 1 N = 1
kg·m/s2, 1 N/m2 = 1 Pa, 101 325 Pa = 1 atm: Bewys dat die twee gaskonstantes R’ = 8.3145 J/K·mol en R” =
0.082058 L·atm/K·mol ekwivalent is. Wenk: skakel R’ om na R’’ of andersom deur gebruik te maak van die
volgende omskakelingsfaktore: 1 J = 1 Nm, 1 N = 1 kg·m/s2, 1 N/m2 = 1 Pa, 101 325 Pa = 1 atm:

8.3145 𝐽 1 𝑁𝑚 1 𝑎𝑡𝑚 1 𝑃𝑎. 𝑚 1000 𝐿 0.082058 𝐿. 𝑎𝑡𝑚

7. The pressure reading from a barometer is 742 mm Hg. Express this pressure in kilopascal (kPa) if 760 mm
Hg is 1.013 × 105 Pa. Die druklesing op ’n barometer is 742 mm Hg. Druk hierdie hoeveelheid uit in
kilopascal (kPa) indien 760 mm Hg 1.013 × 105 Pa is.

.
x x = 98.9 kPa

8. At a given point in its orbit, the moon is 2.4×105 miles from earth. How many seconds will it take a photon
of light from a source on earth to reach a reflector on the moon and then return to earth? (speed of light is
3.0×108 m/s). Op ’n gegewe punt op sy wentelbaan, is die maan 2.4×105 myl vanaf die aarde. Hoeveel
sekondes sal dit ’n ligfoton van ’n bron op die aarde neem om ’n reflektor op die maan te bereik en weer na
die aarde terug te keer? (snelheid van lig is 3.0×108 m/s)
