1. Convert 34.5 grams to kilograms (kg).

• A. 3.45 kg
• B. 34.5 kg
• C. 345 kg
• D. 3.45 grams

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert grams to kilograms, divide by 1,000 since there are 1,000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, 34.5 grams ÷ 1,000 = 0.0345 kilograms. The correct answer is 3.45 kg (not 3.45 grams, which is the amount given in the initial question). Choices B and C are incorrect as they do not involve the conversion from grams to kilograms. Choice D is also incorrect as it presents the value in grams instead of kilograms.

2. Convert 0.2 liters to milliliters. What is the equivalent volume?

• A. 20 ml
• B. 200 ml
• C. 2 ml
• D. 2000 ml

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert 0.2 liters to milliliters, you need to multiply by 1,000 because there are 1,000 milliliters in a liter. So, 0.2 * 1,000 = 200 milliliters. Therefore, the correct answer is 200 ml. Choice A (20 ml) is incorrect because it represents 0.02 liters, not 0.2 liters. Choice C (2 ml) is incorrect as it represents 0.002 liters. Choice D (2000 ml) is incorrect as it represents 2 liters, not 0.2 liters.

3. What is the equivalent temperature in Kelvin if the temperature is measured at 25 degrees Celsius?

• A. 298.15 K
• B. 273.15 K
• C. 250 K
• D. 25 K

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 298.15 K. The conversion from Celsius to Kelvin is K = C + 273.15. Therefore, 25°C is equivalent to 298.15 K, as 25 + 273.15 = 298.15. Choice B, 273.15 K, is the freezing point of water in Kelvin, not the equivalent of 25°C. Choice C, 250 K, and Choice D, 25 K, are incorrect conversions and do not align with the correct formula for converting Celsius to Kelvin.

4. What is 0.05 mg in mcg?

• A. 50 mcg
• B. 500 mcg
• C. 5 mcg
• D. 0.5 mcg

Correct answer: A

Rationale: 0.05 mg is equivalent to 50 mcg because 1 mg is equal to 1000 mcg. To convert milligrams to micrograms, you need to multiply by 1000. Therefore, 0.05 mg x 1000 = 50 mcg. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly convert milligrams to micrograms. Option B (500 mcg) would be the result if the conversion was done incorrectly by adding an extra zero, while options C (5 mcg) and D (0.5 mcg) are incorrect due to miscalculating the conversion factor.

5. How many milliliters are in 2 liters?

• A. 20 mL
• B. 200 mL
• C. 2,000 mL
• D. 20,000 mL

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert liters to milliliters, you need to multiply the number of liters by 1,000 since there are 1,000 milliliters in 1 liter. Therefore, 2 liters x 1,000 = 2,000 milliliters. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not account for the correct conversion factor from liters to milliliters.
