purpose is 1 ppm chlorine, or 1 g of chlorine per million grams of water. Calculate the
volume of a chlorine solution (in milliliters) a homeowner should add to her swimming
pool if the solution contains 6.0% chlorine by mass and there are 2.0 ´ 104 gallons of
water in the pool. (1 gallon = 3.79 L; density of liquids = 1.0 g/mL.)
A) 1.3 ´ 103 mL of solution
B) 1.3 mL of solution
C) 4.9 ´ 103 mL of solution
D) 6.9 ´ 103 mL of solution

98. The world's total petroleum reserve is estimated at 2.0 ´ 1022 J (joule is the unit of
energy where 1 J = 1 kg m2/s2). At the present rate of consumption, 1.8 ´ 1020 J/yr, how

Page 16
 long would it take to exhaust the supply?
A) 4.7 ´ 101 yr
B) 9.0 ´ 10–3 yr
C) 1.1 ´ 102 yr
D) 3.0 ´ 102 yr

99. In water conservation, chemists spread a thin film of certain inert material over the
surface of water to cut down the rate of evaporation of water in reservoirs. Benjamin
Franklin pioneered this technique three centuries ago. Franklin found that 0.10 mL of oil
could spread over the surface of water of about 40 m2 in area. Assuming that the oil
forms a monolayer, that is, a layer that is only one molecule thick, estimate the length of
each oil molecule in nanometers. (1 nm = 1 ´ 10-9 m.)
A) 8.4 nm
B) 2.5 nm
C) 6.3 nm
D) 12.5 nm

100. Fluoridation is the process of adding fluorine compounds to drinking water to help fight
tooth decay. A concentration of 1 ppm of fluorine is sufficient for the purpose. (1 ppm
means one part per million, or 1 g of fluorine per 1 million g of water.) The compound
normally chosen for fluoridation is sodium fluoride, which is also added to some
toothpaste. Calculate the quantity of sodium fluoride in kilograms needed per year for a
city of 50,000 people if the daily consumption of water per person is 150 gallons. What
percent of the sodium fluoride is “wasted'' if each person uses only 6.0 L of water a day
for drinking and cooking? (Sodium fluoride is 45.0% fluorine by mass. 1 gallon = 3.79
L; 1 year = 365 days; 1 ton = 2000 lb; 1 lb = 453.6 g; density of water = 1.0 g/mL.)
A) 1%
B) 49%
C) 75%
D) 99%

101. A gas company in Massachusetts charges $1.30 for 15.0 ft3 of natural gas. If it takes
0.304 ft3 of gas to boil a liter of water, starting at room temperature (25 °C), how much
would it cost to boil a 2.1-L kettle of water?
A) $18
B) 18¢ ($0.18)
C) 45¢ ($0.45)
D) 5.5¢ ($0.055)

102. Pheromones are compounds secreted by females of many insect species to attract mates.
Typically, 1.0 ´ 10-2 g of a pheromone is sufficient to reach all targeted males within a
radius of 0.50 mi. Calculate the density of the pheromone (in grams per liter) in a

Page 17
 circular air space having a radius of 0.50 mi and a height of 40 ft.
A) 2.0 ´ 10–19 g/L
B) 4.0 ´ 10–19 g/L
C) 4.7 ´ 10–12 g/L
D) 6.0 ´ 1023 g/L

103. Normally the human body can endure a temperature of 105 °F for only short periods of
time without permanent damage to the brain and other vital organs. What is this
temperature in degrees Celsius?
A) 26.3 °C
B) 40.6 °C
C) 131°C
D) 83.5°C

104. Ethylene glycol is a liquid organic compound that is used as antifreeze in car radiators.
It freezes at –11.5 °C. Calculate the freezing temperature in degrees Fahrenheit?
A) 11.3 °F
B) 36.9 °F
C) 25.6 °F
D) 44.2 °F

105. The temperature on the surface of the sun is about 6300 °C. What is this temperature in
degrees Fahrenheit?
A) 3.7 × 102 °F
B) 5.9 × 102 °F
C) 3.5 × 103 °F
D) 1.1 × 104 °F

106. The ignition temperature of paper is 451 °F. What is the temperature in degrees Celcius?
A) 844 °C
B) 268 °C
C) 233 °C
D) 214 °C

107. Convert –273.15 °C (theoretically the lowest attainable temperature) to degrees

Fahrenheit.
A) –459.67 °F
B) –169.53 °F
C) –344.65 °F
