    (2.733 x 109)(5.7 x 104) =

    4 x 104
    --------  =
    2 x 10-2

3. What fraction of a liter (L) is a milliliter (mL)?


4. How many grams of water are contained in a kilogram of water?


5. Calculate the density of a liquid if 25 mL of the liquid has a 
mass of 35 g.


6. What is the weight in newtons of a small apple having a weight 
of 0.25 lb?


7. How much energy in joules (J) is required to lift the apple 
described in #6 one meter high?


8. If two objects having different temperatures are places in 
contact with each other, what is likely to happen?


9. Suppose you would like to heat 1.0 L of water in a pot from 25 °C 
(room temperature) to 96 °C.  Calculate the amount of heat in joules (J) 
necessary to do this.

10. Suppose you are heating the water described in #9 using a gas 
stove.  Calculate the amount of natural gas in cubic feet that 
must be burned to heat the water assuming that the burning on one 
cubic foot of natural gas produces 106 J of heat.
