A We have three different elements, so most likely we are dealing with an ionic compound with a polyatomic ion. Let us check, a is a metal, which leaves SO 4 as a polyatomic. a only has one oxidation number on the periodic table (+2) so no roman numeral is needed. As a result, we need to name the metal, then name the polyatomic ion. a is calcium and polyatomics end in ate or ite. Luckily, we only have one choice. D 44.

A student attempts to measure the specific heat capacity of an unknown liquid through repeated trials. She measures its specific heat capacity, in as 2.14, 2.11, 2.14, 2.12, and 2.11. The specific heat capacity of the liquid should be recorded as a. 2 c. 2.12 b. 2.1 d. 2.122 We need to average the numbers and look at the sig figs. So (2.14 + 2.11 + 2.14 + 2.12 + 2.11)/5 = 2.124. Now we have to worry about significant figures, since we are adding, we need to look at the decimal place. Since they all go to the hundredth spot, our answer should go to the hundredth spot. We do not need to worry about the five since it is an exact number. file:///f:/sol%20review%20topics/hemistry%202009/2009_chemistry_released_sol_test.htm 16/18
