  1. Question 1

    Which unit is usually used for mass in Chemistry laboratory work?

    • AGram
    • BKilogram
    • CMetre
    • DMole
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    The chapter explains that gram is preferred in Chemistry because laboratory quantities are often small.

  2. Question 2

    Why is gram preferred over kilogram for many laboratory measurements?

    • AIt provides more manageable numbers
    • BIt is the SI base unit of mass
    • CIt eliminates measurement error
    • DIt is larger than kilogram
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    Small laboratory quantities are easier to handle when expressed in grams.

  3. Question 3

    Which unit is commonly used for volume in Chemistry?

    • ACubic centimetre
    • BCubic metre
    • CSquare metre
    • DKilogram
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    Cubic centimetre is commonly used because laboratory volumes are generally small.

  4. Question 4

    Why is cubic centimetre preferred for many laboratory volumes?

    • AIt is convenient for measuring small volumes
    • BIt is the SI base unit of volume
    • CIt measures mass directly
    • DIt eliminates all errors
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    Small volumes are more manageable and precise when expressed in cubic centimetres.

  5. Question 5

    Which temperature scale is most often used in Chemistry according to the chapter?

    • ACelsius
    • BKelvin
    • CFahrenheit
    • DRankine
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    Celsius is commonly used because it is more convenient in Chemistry.
