Question
Chapter 3, Problem 99E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The units of k’ if pressure is in atmospheres and volume is in liters is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The scope of the measurement depends upon the context and event. Measurement is commonly used as an international system of unit as a comparison framework. Two variables such as mass (m) and volume (V) can be described as directly proportional one on other by the expression m α V. Besides, the term density is given by the mass of the given substance per unit volume. It is denoted by the symbol ‘D’. Moreover, slope is the ratio of the change in the value of ‘y’ with respect to change in the value of ‘x’.

A chemical engineer must report the average volume of a certain pollutant produced by the plants under her supervision. Here are the data she has been given
by each plant:

Which statement is false?
The volume of a balloon decreases when placed in a freezer.
1 cm³ = 1 mL
Increasing temperature increases the speed of the particles according to the
KMT.
Pressure is defined as the force of the gaseous particles against the walls of the
container.
The temperature of a gas increases as you compress the canister.
A garage manager must determine the number of
metal ball bearings (BBs) in a stock container by mass
measurements. He counts out 5 BBs and finds their
total mass to be 1.9 g. He also finds the total mass
of the stock container and the BBs to be 239.3 g and
the mass of an identical, empty stock container to
be 115.8 g. The store manager then uses his data to
calculate the number of BBs in the stock container:
Average mass of one BB = 1.9/5 = 0.4 g
Mass of BBs in container = 239.3 g - 115.8 g = 123.50 g
Number of BBs in container = 123.50/0.4 g= 300 BBs
(a) Evaluate the manager’s calculations with regard to
significant digits. If necessary, rewrite any steps,
recalculating with the adjusted quantities. For
any step that you have to rewrite, explain why the
manager’s calculation is in error.
(b) Should the manager regard the answer to the
calculation in (a) as a perfect measure of the
number of ball bearings in the container?
(c) How could the manager have changed his
procedure to…
