Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The quantity 0.000400g of folate has to be converted into scientific notation.

Concept Introduction:

Scientific notation:

  • In scientific notation, a number is represented as y×10x.
  • The term y, is known as the coefficient, is a number ranging between 1 and 10.
  • The term x is called as exponent that can be any positive or negative whole number.

Conversion of a Standard number to Scientific Notation:

Step 1:  The decimal point is moved to a give a number between 1 and 10.

Step 2:  The result is multiplied by 10x, where x is the number of places the decimal point was moved.

The value of x will be positive, if the decimal point is moved to the left.

The value of x will be negative, if the decimal point is moved to the right.

Answer to Problem 1.67AP

The quantity 0.000400g of folate in scientific notation is 4.00×10-4g.

Explanation of Solution

The given quantity is 0.000400g of folate.

The number of significant figures in the number 0.000400g is three.

The coefficient is written as 4.00 and it has three significant figures.

The decimal point is moved four places to the right to give the number 4.00  Since, the decimal point is moved to the right, the exponent is -4 and the coefficient is multiplied by 104.

The quantity 0.000400g of folate in scientific notation is 4.00×10-4g.

Concept Introduction:

Refer to part (a).

Answer to Problem 1.67AP

The quantity 0.002g of copper in scientific notation is 2×10-3g.

Explanation of Solution

The given quantity is 0.002g of copper.

The number of significant figures in the number 0.002g is one.

The coefficient is written as 2 and it has one significant figure.

The decimal point is moved three places to the right to give the number 2.  Since, the decimal point is moved to the right, the exponent is -3 and the coefficient is multiplied by 10-3.

The quantity 0.002g of copper in scientific notation is 2×10-3g.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The quantity 0.000080g of vitamin K has to be converted into scientific notation.

Concept Introduction:

Refer to part (a).

Answer to Problem 1.67AP

The quantity 0.000080g of vitamin K in scientific notation is 8.0×10-5g.

Explanation of Solution

The given quantity is 0.000080g of vitamin K.

The number of significant figures in the number 0.000080g is two.

The coefficient is written as 8.0 and it has two significant figures.

The decimal point is moved five places to the right to give the number 8.0  Since, the decimal point is moved to the right, the exponent is -5 and the coefficient is multiplied by 10-5.

The quantity 0.000080g of vitamin K in scientific notation is 8.0×10-5g.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The quantity 3,400mg of chloride has to be converted into scientific notation.

Concept Introduction:

Refer to part (a).

Answer to Problem 1.67AP

The quantity 3,400mg of chloride in scientific notation is 3.4×103mg.

Explanation of Solution

The given quantity is 3,400mg of chloride.

The number of significant figures in the number 3,400mg is two.

The coefficient is written as 3.4 and it has two significant figures.
