FIRST MIDTERM EXAM General Chemistry 1 JULY 2020. Total value of the exam = 15% of the course. The exam is divided in 3 main parts, each part has a total value of 5%. The value of each question is 5% divided into the total amount of questions. STUDENT’S NAME : SCORE : COURSE NAME: CHEM-013 DURATION: 5 Weeks Rules Write your FULL NAME at the beginning of the exam and write your name in your file as “full name” midterm exam.doc If you answer a wrong question (in single/multiple choice and “fill-in-the-blanks” questions), a proportional negative percentage will be charged in your final score. If you are not sure on how to answer a question, is better to leave the question(s) without answer. This is an open book exam, you can use any book related to the topics discussed in the lessons and also you can use the periodic table of elements or any other table helpful to write your answers. For an easy guidance with the course content, the questions of the exam are written in a sequential order, based on the lessons online. THE EXAM MUST BE ANSWERED INDIVIDUALLY. IF THERE ARE EVIDENCES OF IDENTICAL FORMATS OF ANSWERS, THE FINAL SCORE WILL BE SPLIT AMONG THE AMOUNT OF STUDENTS WHO HAD IDENTICAL ANSWER FORMATS Please write your answers in RED COLOR. Part I. Multiple/single Choice (total = 5%) 12 questions 1) Choose the right statement abut the definition of chemistry a) Chemistry seeks to understand the behavior of matter by studying its properties only in the macroscopic scale Yini Pan

b) Quantum theory is one of the scientific tools that is used in chemistry to understand the behavior of matter c) Chemistry does not seek to understand matter behavior, only seeks to transform it d) Chemistry disregards the behavior of matter, only focuses on thermodynamics 2) Answer true (T) or false (F) to the following statements: a) Molecules are the elemental building blocks of matter b) Atoms in their pure form are difficult to find in nature, they are easily found by different molecular arrangements c) The properties of substances are strongly dependent on their atomic and molecular compositions d) Molecules are composed by at least one atom 3) Choose the wrong statement: a) Scientific knowledge is based on observations and experiments b) Hypotheses are tentative interpretations of the subject of study, based on observations c) Hypotheses never can be refuted d) Scientific theories are the pinnacle of the scientific knowledge 4) Regarding to the definition of energy, choose the statement that best fit a) Energy is the capacity to sustain a constant force by a certain amount of time F T T T

b) The capacity to apply a force along certain distance is defined as energy c) Energy is the sum of potential plus kinetic energies multiplied by time d) Energy is the product of work and time 5) Choose the right units (of the International System of units, SI) of mass and energy, respectively a) Mole & Watt b) Kilogram & Joule c) gram & Joule d) Kilogram & BTU 6) Choose the right symbols for the SI system of the prefixes multiplied correspondingly to 10 12 and 10 -9 a) P and m b) T and p c) G and a d) T and n 7) From the Table 1.4 of lesson #2, to which material corresponds the density of 6,500 kg in 2.5 m 3 ? d ⼆号 o.0 8,6 5 g 。

a) Gold b) Ethanol c) Glass d) Water 8) In order to prepare an experiment, you weighted a reactant in a balance and read 1.0236. Which is/are the digit(s) with uncertainty/uncertainties? a) 36 b) 6 c) 236 d) 0236 9) Choose the correct statement regarding to the certainty of data measured in a laboratory a) We get a better certainty of data by analyzing a sample with the highest tolerated amount of significant figures

b) The amount of significant figures is irrelevant, therefore the certainty is independent of that c) The certainty of the results depends only on the half of significant figures of a given result/datum d) In order to get a satisfactory level of certainty in chemical experiments is only necessary 1 significant figure 10) Which is the correct scientific notation? a) 1,600.0 b) 1,600 c) 1.6 x 10 3 d) 1,6 x 10 3 11) Which is the right result in terms of significant figures from the multiplication of 1.43 x 10 -3 x 2.2 x 10 -5 ? a) 3.1 x 10 -8 b) 3.14 x 10 -8 c) 3.15 x 10 -8 d) 3.2 x 10 -8 12) By applying rounding and the right amount of significant figures, which is t he right results of the division of 6.42/1.041? a) 6.2 b) 6.17
