Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 110AE
The chemist in Example 1.14 did some further experiments. She found that the pipet used to measure the volume of the liquid is accurate to ±0.03 cm3. The mass measurement is accurate to ±0.002 g. Are these measurements sufficiently precise for the chemist to distinguish between isopropyl alcohol and ethanol?

2.) Suppose you're attempting to measure the density of a liquid that is highly volatile (it evaporates
quickly). If you first measure the volume and then several minutes later you measure the mass of the
liquid will the measured density be higher than the true value, lower than the true value, or the true
density of the liquid. [It helps to understand this problem with the density equation.]
(1. On the second floor of Kent Laboratory a chemistry student in 111B finds
that 15.20 g of nitrogen will react with 17.37 g, 34.74 g, or 43.43 g of
oxygen to form three different compounds: (a) Calculate the ratio of the
mass of oxygen to the mass of nitrogen for each compound and (b) Explain
briefly how the numbers in part (a) support the atomic theory.
Calculate the edge length in m and the volume in L for a cubical box that will “exactly” contain 4.32x1023 atoms. Assume the diameter of the Argon atom is 3.4 Å (1.000 Å = 1.000x10-10 m). Assume the atoms touch each other so that the closest distance between atomic centers (nuclei) is 3.4 Å and the atoms fill the box with MANY layers of Argon atoms.Note: a cubical box needs only one measurement to be defined because each edge of a cube is exactly the same length, l,so that the volume of the box, V = l3.

Thissurprises some chemists who, based on the position of gallium in the periodic table, expect a chloride of gallium to have the formula GaCl3 or possibly GaCl.
