OpenStax Chemistry Supplemental Test Items
Chapter 01: Essential Ideas
Supplemental Test Items to accompany OpenStax Chemistry. Note that not all chapters of OpenStax
Chemistry have accompanying test items."Building on the community-oriented nature of OpenStax
resources, we invite you to submit items to be considered for future inclusion.

information.
B. D = m/v, so measure the mass of the object using a balance. Then to find volume,
measure the height, width, and length using an appropriate measuring tool.
C. D = m/v, so measure the mass of the object using a balance. Then to find volume, fill
a graduated cylinder with a known amount of water and immerse the object in the
water. The amount of displaced water is the volume in cm3 or mL.*
