Part 2 Directions: Solve the following problems using the dimensional analysis method.
Be sure to show all of your work.
1. If 1 cent weighs 3.16 grams, what would be the dollar value of 1 metric ton
of pennies? (1 metric ton = 2000 grams)
2. If the density of copper is 8.933 g/cm3, what is the volume of 1 penny?
(Hint: use information in question 2)
3. What will be the volume in liters of 16.0 grams of oxygen, if 1 mL of oxygen
weighs 0.00143 grams?
4. The density of a sodium hydroxide solution is 1.1589 g/mL. What is the
mass of 550 mL of this solution?
5. How large a container, in liters, would you need to hold 7.2 kg of gasoline?
(The density of gasoline is 0.68 g/cm3.)
6. Light travels at a speed of 3.00 X 1010 cm/s. What is the speed of light in
km/hr?
7. Convert 0.72 grams / 500 mL to grams per liter.
8. Determine the mass of 125 mL of a gas whose density is 1.43 g/L.
9. A space scientist landed on Mars and stumbled upon a chemical stockroom. He asked
the Martian attendant for 28 grams of formaldehyde to renew the fuel cell for his radio
transmitter. (The Martian replied, “How many zooms of formaldehyde is that?”
The mass units on Mars were zings, zooms, and warps. If 5 zings = 4 grams, 2 wraps = 3
zings, and 9 zooms = 5 wraps, how many zooms did the space scientist request?
