Show the steps to convert the speed of sound, 344 meters per second, into miles per hour. [Section 1.6]
Carry out the following operations and express the answer with the appropriate number of significant figures. (a) \(320.5-(6104.5 / 2.3)\) (b) \(\left[\left(285.3 \times 10^{5}\right)-\left(1.200 \times 10^{3}\right)\right] \times 2.8954\) (c) \((0.0045 \times 20,000.0)+(2813 \times 12)\) (d) \(863 \times[1255-(3.45 \times 108)]\)
You are hiking in the mountains and find a shiny gold nugget. It might be the element gold, or it might be "fool's gold," which is a nickname for iron pyrite, FeS \(_{2 .}\) Which of the fol- lowing physical properties do you think would help determine if the shiny nugget is really gold appearance, melting point, density, or physical state?
Consider the jar of jelly beans in the photo. To get an estimate of the number of beans in the jar you weigh six beans and obtain masses of \(3.15,3.12,2.98,3.14,3.02\), and \(3.09 \mathrm{~g}\). Then you weigh the jar with all the beans in it, and obtain a mass of \(2082 \mathrm{~g}\). The empty jar has a mass of \(653 \mathrm{~g}\). Based on these data estimate the number of beans in the jar. Justify the number of significant figures you use in your estimate. [Section 1.5]
Judge the following statements as true or false. If you believe a statement to be false, provide a corrected version. (a) Air and water are both elements. (b) All mixtures contain at least one element and one compound. (c) Compounds can be decomposed into two or more other substances; elements cannot. (d) Elements can exist in any of the three states of matter. (e) When yellow stains in a kitchen sink are treated with bleach water, the disappearance of the stains is due to a physical change. (f) A hypothesis is more weakly supported by experimental evidence than a theory. (g) The number \(0.0033\) has more significant figures than \(0.033 .\) (h) Conversion factors used in converting units always have a numerical value of one. (i) Compounds always contain at least two different elements.
