- a 7.11 hg to g, b 5.27 x 107 m to pm, c 3.63 x 106 g to dag.arrow_forwardWhat is the difference in surface area between two circles, one of radius 7.98 cm, the other of radius 8.50 cm? The surface area of a circle of radius r is r2. Obtain the result to the correct number of significant figures.arrow_forwardTwo students were assigned to determine the mass of a sample of an unknown liquid. Student A used an ordinary laboratory balance that could determine mass to ±0.01 g. Student B used an analytical balance that could measure mass to ±0.1 mg. Each made four measurements, giving the following results: Student A: 8.19 g, 8.22 g, 8.21 g, 8.25 g Student B: 8.2210 g, 8.2210 g, 8.2209 g, 8.2210 g 2. Which student is more precise?

- The first measurement of sea depth was made in 1840 in the central South Atlantic, where a plummet was lowered 2425 fathoms. What is this depth in meters? Note that 1 fathom = 6ft, 1 ft = 12 in., and 1 in. = 2.54 102 m. (These relations are exact.)arrow_forwarda 21.7 m to cm, b 517 m to km, c 0.666 km to cmarrow_forwardPerform these calculations and express the result with the proper number of significant figures.

- For the masses and volumes indicated, calculate the density in grains per cubic centimeter. mass = 452.1 g: volume = 292 cm3 mass = 0.14 lb: Volume 125 mL mass = 1.01 kg; volume = 1000 cm3 mass = 225 mg: volume = 2.51 mLarrow_forwardA certain sample of the mineral galena (lead sulfide) weighs 12.4 g and has a volume of 1.64 cm3. What is the density of galena?arrow_forwardFor the masses and volumes indicated, calculate the density in grams per cubic centimeter. mass = 4.53 kg; volume = 225 cm3 mass = 26.3 g; volume = 25.0 mL mass = 1.00 lb; volume = 500. cm3 mass = 352 mg; volume = 0.27 1 cm3arrow_forward
- Ethanol has a density of 0.789 g/cm3. What volume must be poured into a graduated cylinder to give 19.8 g of alcohol.arrow_forwardA sample of sand is found to have a mass of 12.0 g and to have a volume of 2.69 cm3. What is its density in grams per cubic centimeter?arrow_forwardThe beakers shown below have different precisions. a. Label the amount of water in each of the three beakers to the correct number of significant figures. b. Is it possible for each of the three beakers to contain the exact same amount of water? If no, why not? If yes, did you report the volumes as the same in part a? Explain. c. Suppose you pour the water from these three beakers into one container. What should be the volume in the container reported to the correct number of significant figures?arrow_forward
