(a)
Interpretation:
The length of leg has to be estimated and expressed in metric units.
Concept Introduction:
Metric prefix is the one which follows a basic unit of measurement in order to indicate fraction or multiple of the units. There are seven SI base units. From these base units all the other units can be derived. Prefix is used to indicate the value in power of 10. This is a physical quantity and it is known as SI prefix. The seven base units are meter, kilogram, second, kelvin, mole, ampere, and candela. Some of the prefix are mega, kilo, deci, centi etc.
(b)
Interpretation:
The reasonable height of a three-story building has to be given.

- The temperature on the surface of the Sun is 5.5 103 C. What is this temperature in kelvins?arrow_forwardConvert the following Celsius temperatures to Fahrenheit degrees. the boiling temperature of ethyl alcohol. 78.1 °C a hot day at the beach on a Greek isle. 40. °C the lowest possible temperature, 273 °C the body temperature of a person with hypothermia, 32 °Carrow_forwardZinc metal can be purified by distillation (transforming the liquid metal to vapor, then condensing the vapor back to liquid). The metal boils at normal atmospheric pressure at 1666F. What is this temperature in degrees Celsius? in kelvins?arrow_forward
- Many laboratories use 25C as a standard temperature. What is this temperature in kelvins?arrow_forwardConvert the boiling temperature of liquid ammonia. 28.1 F, into degrees Celsius and kelvin.arrow_forwardMercury freezes at 38.9C. What is the coldest temperature, in degrees Fahrenheit, that can be measured using a mercury thermometer?arrow_forward
- Titanium metal is used in aerospace alloys to add strength and corrosion resistance. Titanium melts at 1677C. What is this temperature in degrees Fahrenheit?arrow_forward(a) The boiling point of octane is 126 C. What is this temperature in degrees Fahrenheit and in kelvins? (b) Potatoes are cooked in oil at a temperature of 350 F. Convert this temperature to degrees Celsius.arrow_forwardSpecific gravity is a physical property. Beakers hold three clear, colorless liquids A, B, and C. The values of the specific gravities of the liquids are measured and then listed in the Before freezing column. The beakers are placed in a freezer until a solid crust forms across the surface of each. The beakers are placed in a freezer until a solid crust forms across the surface of each. The crusts are removed, and the liquids are warmed to room temperature. Their specific gravities are measured again, and then their values are listed in the After Freezing column. Which beakers contains a pure substance, and which contain a mixture? Explain your reasoningarrow_forward
- 1. It is known that the boiling point of water on the Kelvin temperature scale is 373.15 K and the freezing temperature of water is 273.15 K. A temperature scale, called the Reaumur (R) scale, is defined by identifying the freezing point of water as 0.0°R and the boiling point of water as 80.0°R. What is 62.3°R on the Kelvin scale? Clearly define your variables.arrow_forwardPart A An electron acquires 6.60x10-16 J of kinetic energy when it is accelerated by an electric field from plate A to plate B What is the potential difference between the plates? Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units. HA AV = Value Unitsarrow_forwardYou want to quickly set up a temporary water bath in your lab with a volume of 10.0L and a temperature of 37.0°C. You only have hot water from your hot water faucet (temperature = 50.5°C) and cold water from your cold water faucet (temperature = 22.0°C). What volume of hot water (in liters) must you mix with cold water to get 10.0 L of 37.0°C water? Assume the specific heat of the water is 4.184 J/g. K and that the water has a density of 1.00 g/mL.arrow_forward
