Week 1 Chemistry Worksheet

5 nm x 1 m / 10 -9 nm = 5 x 10 -9 m 5 nm x 1 cm / 10 -7 nm = 5 x 10 -7 cm 3. The size of a typical red blood cell is approximately 8 µm. How many meters is this? How many km is this? Conversion Factors: 1 µm = 0.000001 m 1 µm = 0.000000001 km 8 µm x 1 m / 10 -6 µm = 0.000008 m 8 µm x 1 km / 10 -9 µm = 0.000000008 km 4. A swimming pool has a volume of 216,000 L. How many mL is this? How many cm 3 is this? Conversion Factors: 1 L = 1000 mL 1 L = 1000 cm 3 216,000 L x 1000 mL / 1 L = 216,000,000 mL 216,000 L x 1000 cm 3 / 1 L = 216,000,000 cm 3 5. The distance from Bedford to Lowell is 12 miles. How many meters is this? How many mm is this? Conversion Factors: 1 mile = 0.621 km 1 mile = 6.21 mm 12 mi x 1 km / 0.621 mi = 19.3 km 19.3 km x 1000 m / 1 km = 19,300 m 19,300 m x 1000 mm / 1 m = 19,300,000 mm 6. Using the dosage chart below, how much Tylenol should be given to a 15.6 lb infant? Patient weight (kg) Dosage 2.7 – 5.4 1.25 mL 5.5 – 7.9 2.5 mL 8.0 – 10.9 3.75 mL 11 – 15.9 5 mL
