Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The given measurements are accurate and have the correct units.
. The multiplication or division should be performed as indicated.
3. The result should be presented with the same number of significant digits as the least precise measurement.
STEP 2
Let's start with the first problem. We need to multiply the given measurements.
STEP 3
Multiply the numbers and remember that the mL units cancel out, leaving us with grams (g).
STEP 4
However, we need to round the answer to the same number of significant digits as the least precise measurement. In this case, the least precise measurement is25 mL, which has two significant digits. So, we round our answer to two significant digits.
STEP 5
Now, let's move on to the second problem. We need to divide the given measurements.
STEP 6
Divide the numbers and remember that the result will be in moles per liter (mol/L).
STEP 7
Again, we need to round the answer to the same number of significant digits as the least precise measurement. In this case, the least precise measurement is33.96 L, which has four significant digits. So, we round our answer to four significant digits.
STEP 8
Finally, let's solve the third problem. We need to divide the given measurements.
STEP 9
Divide the numbers and remember that the result will be in grams per milliliter (g/mL).
STEP 10
Once again, we need to round the answer to the same number of significant digits as the least precise measurement. In this case, the least precise measurement is0.53 mL, which has two significant digits. So, we round our answer to two significant digits.
So, the solutions to the problems are.
