- Determine whether each statement that follows is true or false: a The SI system includes metric units. b If two quantities are expressed in an equivalency, they are directly proportional to each other. c The scientific notation form of a number smaller than 1 has a positive exponent. d In changing a number in scientific notation whose coefficient is not between 1 and 10 to standard scientific notation, the exponent becomes smaller if the decimal in the coefficient is moved to the right. e There are 1000 kilounits in a unit. f There are 10 milliunits in a centiunit g There are 1000 milliliters in a cubic centimeter. h The mass of an object is independent of its location in the universe. i Celsius degrees are smaller than Fahrenheit degrees. j The uncertain digit is the last digit written when a number is expressed properly in significant figures. k The quantity 76.2 g means the same as 76.200 g. l The number of significant figures in a sum may be more than the number of significant figures in any of the quantities added. m The number of significant figures in a difference may be fewer than the number of significant figures in any of the quantities subtracted. n The number of significant figures in a product may be more than the number of significant figures in any of the quantities multiplied. o The process of analysis of a problem statement includes describing the properties of the given and wanted quantities. p If the quantity in the answer to a problem is familiar, it is not necessary to check to make sure the answer is reasonable. q Conversion factors can be used to change from one unit to another only when the quantities are directly proportional. r When you are learning chemistry, you should check the solution to each problem you solve at two levels: 1 is the value reasonable? 2 what new knowledge or skill did I obtain or improve? s There is no advantage to using units in a problem that is solved by algebra. t A Fahrenheit temperature can be changed to a Celsius temperature by multiplying by a conversion factor.arrow_forwardWhat is density?
