Identify the requirements for Question 11

We need to rewrite each given quantity using prefix and unit symbols (e.g., \(2.5\text{ cm}\)) and exponential equivalents (using scientific notation with the base unit, e.g., \(2.5 \times 10^{-2}\text{ m}\)).

  • (a) \(2.5\text{ centimetres}\): Symbol is \(\text{cm}\). Centi- means \(10^{-2}\), so \(2.5 \times 10^{-2}\text{ m}\).
  • (b) \(1.3\text{ kilograms}\): Symbol is \(\text{kg}\). Kilo- means \(10^3\), so \(1.3 \times 10^3\text{ g}\).
  • (c) \(25.2\text{ millimoles}\): Symbol is \(\text{mmol}\). Milli- means \(10^{-3}\), so \(25.2 \times 10^{-3}\text{ mol}\) (or \(2.52 \times 10^{-2}\text{ mol}\)).
  • (d) \(5.1\text{ decigrams}\): Symbol is \(\text{dg}\). Deci- means \(10^{-1}\), so \(5.1 \times 10^{-1}\text{ g}\).
  • (e) \(0.25\text{ megalitres}\): Symbol is \(\text{ML}\). Mega- means \(10^6\), so \(0.25 \times 10^6\text{ L}\) (or \(2.5 \times 10^5\text{ L}\)).
  • (f) \(6.38\text{ micrograms}\): Symbol is \(\mu\text{g}\). Micro- means \(10^{-6}\), so \(6.38 \times 10^{-6}\text{ g}\).

We will apply the Metric Prefixes and Scientific Notation knowledge points.

Identify the requirements for Question 12

We need to rewrite each given symbol using written prefixes and units (e.g., millimetres) and exponential equivalents (e.g., \(10^{-3}\text{ m}\)).

  • (a) \(2.5\text{ mm}\): Written is "millimetres". Exponential is \(2.5 \times 10^{-3}\text{ m}\).
  • (b) \(6.5\text{ dL}\): Written is "decilitres". Exponential is \(6.5 \times 10^{-1}\text{ L}\).
  • (c) \(1.9\text{ kmol}\): Written is "kilomoles". Exponential is \(1.9 \times 10^3\text{ mol}\).
  • (d) \(4\text{ Mt}\): Written is "megatonnes". Exponential is \(4 \times 10^6\text{ t}\).
  • (e) \(9.94\text{ cg}\): Written is "centigrams". Exponential is \(9.94 \times 10^{-2}\text{ g}\).
  • (f) \(1.25\ \mu\text{s}\): Written is "microseconds". Exponential is \(1.25 \times 10^{-6}\text{ s}\).

Identify the requirements for Question 13

We need to rewrite each exponential expression using prefix symbols (e.g., \(\text{mmol}\)) and written prefixes and units (e.g., millimoles).

  • (a) \(4.5 \times 10^{-3}\text{ mol}\): \(10^{-3}\) is milli (m). Symbol: \(4.5\text{ mmol}\). Written: \(4.5\text{ millimoles}\).
  • (b) \(1.6 \times 10^3\text{ m}\): \(10^3\) is kilo (k). Symbol: \(1.6\text{ km}\). Written: \(1.6\text{ kilometres}\).
  • (c) \(0.50 \times 10^{-6}\text{ L}\): \(10^{-6}\) is micro (\(\mu\)). Symbol: \(0.50\ \mu\text{L}\). Written: \(0.50\text{ microlitres}\).
  • (d) \(2.68 \times 10^{-1}\text{ g}\): \(10^{-1}\) is deci (d). Symbol: \(2.68\text{ dg}\). Written: \(2.68\text{ decigrams}\).
  • (e) \(8.85 \times 10^6\text{ t}\): \(10^6\) is mega (M). Symbol: \(8.85\text{ Mt}\). Written: \(8.85\text{ megatonnes}\).
  • (f) \(7.25 \times 10^{-2}\text{ m}\): \(10^{-2}\) is centi (c). Symbol: \(7.25\text{ cm}\). Written: \(7.25\text{ centimetres}\).

Identify the requirements for Question 14

We need to perform Unit Conversions for the given values:

  • (a) \(50\text{ cm}^3\) in millilitres: Since \(1\text{ cm}^3 = 1\text{ mL}\), \(50\text{ cm}^3 = 50\text{ mL}\).
  • (b) \(22.5\text{ t}\) in kilograms: Since \(…
