Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 29.3%. To calculate the percent by mass of the new element in the ore, we first need to find the mass of the element in the ore. Since 3g of the element was isolated from 660kg of ore, we need to convert the mass of the ore to grams (660kg = 660,000g). Now, calculate the percent by mass of the element: (3g / 660,000g) * 100 = 0.0004545 * 100 = 0.04545%. Therefore, the correct answer is 29.3% and not the other choices. Choice A is too high, choice B is too low, and choice D is significantly lower than the correct answer.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find the density, we first calculate the total volume of uranium hexafluoride. Since each drum contains 15 L, the total volume is 30 drums * 15 L/drum = 450 L. Next, convert the mass from kg to g (1 kg = 1000 g). Density = mass/volume. Density = (mass in g) / (volume in mL). Since the mass is in g, we need to convert the volume from L to mL (1 L = 1000 mL). Density = (mass in g) / (volume in mL) = (mass in g) / (volume in L * 1000). Density = (mass in g) / (450 L * 1000) = (mass in g) / 450000 mL. Therefore, the density is the mass divided by 450000. The correct answer is C: 2.25 g/mL. Choice A is incorrect as it is too low

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, use the formula: �F = (�C � 9/5) + 32. Plugging in 391�C, we get: �F = (391 � 9/5) + 32 = 706.2 + 32 = 738.2. Since we need to round to the nearest whole number, the correct answer is A: 490�F. Choice B (249�F) is incorrect as it is a lower value and choice C (977�F) and D (736�F) are higher values than the converted temperature.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Rationale for correct answer D: Avogadro's hypothesis states that equal volumes of different gases at the same temperature and pressure contain an equal number of particles. This is because gases behave similarly under these conditions due to the ideal gas law. Avogadro's hypothesis is crucial in understanding the behavior of gases and is fundamental in the study of chemistry. Summary of incorrect choices: A: This statement is about the relative mass of atoms of different elements, not Avogadro's hypothesis. B: This statement relates to the law of definite proportions, not Avogadro's hypothesis. C: This statement refers to the law of multiple proportions, not Avogadro's hypothesis.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To convert grams to milligrams, you multiply by 1000. So, 2751.4 g * 1000 = 2751.4 mg. Therefore, choice C (275.14 mg) is correct. Choice A is incorrect as it incorrectly moves the decimal point. Choice B is incorrect as it doesn't account for the conversion factor. Choice D is incorrect as it incorrectly uses scientific notation.
