Answer to Problem 27E

The answer up to two significant digits is 8.g/mL.

Explanation of Solution

The given measurement is 66.3 g/7.5 mL. The measurement of 66.3 g has three significant digits and 7.5 mL has two significant digits. Therefore, the product or the final answer must be limited to two significant digits.

The division of the given measurement is shown below.

66.3 g/7.5 mL=8.84 g/mL

Hence, the rounded off answer up to two significant digits is 8.g/mL.

Conclusion

The answer up to two significant digits is 8.g/mL.

Answer to Problem 27E

The answer up to two significant digits is 3.0 g/mL.

Explanation of Solution

The given measurement is 12.5 g/4.1 mL. The measurement of 12.5 g has three significant digits and 4.1 mL has two significant digits. Therefore, the product or the final answer must be limited to two significant digits.

The division of the given measurement is shown below.

12.5 g/4.1 mL=3.048 g/mL

Hence, the rounded off answer up to two significant digits is 3.0 g/mL.

Conclusion

The answer up to two significant digits is 3.0 g/mL.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Answer to Problem 27E

The answer up to three significant digits is 4.26 g/mL.

Explanation of Solution

The given measurement is 42.620 g/10.0 mL. The measurement of 42.620 g has five significant digits and 10.0 mL has three significant digits. Therefore, the product or the final answer must be limited to three significant digits.

The division of the given measurement is shown below.

42.620 g/10.0 mL=4.262 g/mL

Hence, the rounded off answer up to three significant digits is 4.26 g/mL.

Conclusion

The answer up to three significant digits is 4.26 g/mL.

Interpretation Introduction

Answer to Problem 27E

The answer up to four significant digits is 9.124 g/mL.

Explanation of Solution

The given measurement is 91.235 g/10.00 mL. The measurement of 91.235 g has five significant digits and 10.00 mL has four significant digits. Therefore, the product or the final answer must be limited to four significant digits.

The division of the given measurement is shown below.

91.235 g/10.00 mL=9.1235 g/mL

Hence, the rounded off answer up to four significant digits is 9.124 g/mL.

Conclusion

The answer up to four significant digits is 9.124 g/mL.
