a. \(84.3 \mathrm{~mm}\) b. \(2.41 \mathrm{~m}\) c. \(2.945 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{~cm}\) d. \(14.45 \mathrm{~km}\) e. \(235300 \mathrm{~mm}\) f. \(0.9033 \mathrm{~\mu m}\)

Step by step solution

01

(Conversion 1: Centimeters to Millimeters)

We have 8.43 cm and we need to convert it to millimeters. We know that 1 cm = 10 mm. Therefore, we multiply the given value by 10: \(8.43 \mathrm{~cm} \times 10 = 84.3 \mathrm{~mm}\)
02

(Conversion 2: Centimeters to Meters)

We have \(2.41 \times 10^2\) cm and need to convert it to meters. We know that 1 m = 100 cm. Therefore, we divide the given value by 100: \(\frac{2.41 \times 10^2 \mathrm{~cm}}{100} = 2.41 \mathrm{~m}\)
03

(Conversion 3: Nanometers to Centimeters)

We have 294.5 nm and need to convert it to centimeters. We know that 1 nm = \(10^{-9}\) m and 1 m = 100 cm. Therefore, we first convert nm to m and then m to cm: \(294.5 \mathrm{~nm} \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{~m/nm} = 2.945 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{~m}\) \(2.945 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{~m} \times 100 \mathrm{~cm/m} = 2.945 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{~cm}\)
04

(Conversion 4: Meters to Kilometers)

We have \(1.445 \times 10^4\) m and need to convert it to kilometers. We know that 1 km = 1000 m. Therefore, we divide the given value by 1000: \(\frac{1.445 \times 10^4 \mathrm{~m}}{1000} = 14.45 \mathrm{~km}\)
05

(Conversion 5: Meters to Millimeters)

We have 235.3 m and need to convert it to millimeters. We know that 1 m = 1000 mm. Therefore, we multiply the given value by 1000: \(235.3 \mathrm{~m} \times 1000 = 235300 \mathrm{~mm}\)
06

(Conversion 6: Nanometers to Micrometers)

We have 903.3 nm and need to convert it to micrometers. We know that 1 nm = \(10^{-9}\) m and 1 μm = \(10^{-6}\) m. Therefore, we first convert nm to m and then m to μm: \(903.3 \mathrm{~nm} \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{~m/nm} = 9.033 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{~m}\) \(9.033 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{~m} \times \frac{1 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{~\mu m}}{1 \mathrm{~m}} = 0.9033 \mathrm{~\mu m} \)

Draw a picture showing the markings (graduations) on glassware that would allow you to make each of the following volume measurements of water and explain your answers (the numbers given are as precise as possible). a. \(128.7 \mathrm{~mL}\) b. \(18 \mathrm{~mL}\) c. \(23.45 \mathrm{~mL}\) If you made the measurements of three samples of water and then poured all of the water together in one container, what total volume of water should you report? Support your answer.

A sample containing \(33.42 \mathrm{~g}\) of metal pellets is poured into a graduated cylinder initially containing \(12.7 \mathrm{~mL}\) of water, causing the water level in the cylinder to rise to \(21.6 \mathrm{~mL}\). Calculate the density of the metal.

Convert the following Fahrenheit temperatures to the Celsius and Kelvin scales. a. \(-459^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\), an extremely low temperature b. \(-40 .{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\), the answer to a trivia question c. \(68^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\), room temperature d. \(7 \times 10^{7}{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\), temperature required to initiate fusion reactions in the sun

A children's pain relief elixir contains \(80 . \mathrm{mg}\) acetaminophen per \(0.50\) teaspoon. The dosage recommended for a child who weighs between 24 and \(35 \mathrm{lb}\) is \(1.5\) teaspoons. What is the range of acetaminophen dosages, expressed in mg acetaminophen/kg body weight, for children who weigh between 24 and \(35 \mathrm{lb}\) ?

In recent years, there has been a large push for an increase in the use of renewable resources to produce the energy we need to power our vehicles. One of the newer fuels that has become more widely available is a mixture of \(85 \%\) ethanol and \(15 \%\) gasoline, E85. Despite being more environmentally friendly, one of the potential drawbacks of E85 fuel is that it produces less energy than conventional gasoline. Assume a car gets \(28.0 \mathrm{mi} / \mathrm{gal}\) using gasoline at \(\$ 3.50 / \mathrm{gal}\) and \(22.5 \mathrm{mi} / \mathrm{gal}\) using \(\mathrm{E} 85\) at \(\$ 2.85 / \mathrm{gal}\). How much will it cost to drive 500 . miles using each fuel?
