(a)
Interpretation:
The given measurement is to be divided and the answer is rounded off to the proper significant digit.
Concept introduction:
In the multiplication or division of measurements, the answer is found to be limited by the measurement value with the lowest number of significant digits. The final unit in division is the ratio of the units of each data.

- Having obtained the volume of a flask (25.00 cm³), the student emptied the flask, dried it, and filled it with an unknown liquid whose density she wished to determine. The mass of the stoppered flask when completely filled with liquid was 47.867 g. The mass of the empty stoppered flask was 26.192 g. Find the density of the liquid. (in g/cm³) (a) First we need to find the mass (in g) of the liquid by determining the difference. mass of liquid = g (b) The density of a pure substance is equal to its mass divided by its volume: density = mass volume Since the volume of the liquid equals that of the flask, we know both the mass and volume of the liquid and can easily find its density. Calculate the density (in g/cm³) of the unknown liquid. density of liquid=arrow_forwardWhich of the following include exact numbers?(a) The speed of light in a vacuum is a physical constant; to six significant figures, it is 2.99792X10⁸m/s.(b) The density of mercury at 25°C is 13.53 g/mL.(c) There are 3600 s in 1 h.(d) In 2003, the United States had 50 states.arrow_forwardWhich of the following include exact numbers?(a) The speed of light in a vacuum is a physical constant; to six significant figures, it is 2.99792×108 m/s.(b) The density of mercury at 25°C is 13.53 g/mL.(c) There are 3600 s in 1 h.(d) In 2010, the United States had 50 states.arrow_forward
