Please read the following. To receive full credit for a question or a problem, in addition to the
correct answer, you must show a neat, complete, and logical method of solution where each
number is labeled with the appropriate unit and the final answer is rounded to the correct
number of significant digits. The correct answer without any work shown will generally get
zero credit! When an explanation is required, it should be brief, but accurate and complete.
There are 9 questions for a total of 50 points. (Exam 1 part with multiple choice questions is
worth 50 points. Both parts combined are 100 points total.

3. (2 points) Below are the fragments of two graduated cylinders: a 50-milliter one (on the
left) and a 10-milliliter one (on the right). A student recorded the volumes of the liquid in
the cylinders. However, he made a few mistakes. Correct his mistakes by crossing the
incorrect result and writing the correct one above.

least two different elements.
I
A characteristic of an atom that indicates the sum of
the numbers of protons and neutrons in its nucleus.
A material that has no definite chemical
composition as opposed to a pure substance.
5. (4 points) Although there is only one naturally occurring isotope of iodine, 1271, the atomic
mass of iodine given in the modem periodic table is 126.90447, but not 127. Explain.
