- What is the difference between reporting the quantity nine inches as 9 inches and 9.00 inches?arrow_forwardWrite conversion factors (as ratios) for the number of: yards in 1 meter liters in 1 liquid quart pounds in 1 kilogramarrow_forwardtotal voulme in graduated cylinder is 1.00ml total numbers of drops placed in cylinder is 24 what is the volume of one drop of water? measured volume in: Liters?arrow_forward
- A car’s rate of fuel consumption is often measured in miles per gallon (mpg). Determine the conversion factor between miles per gallon and the SI unit of meters per cubic decimeter (1 gallon =3.785 dm3 , and 1 mile = 1609.344 m).Express 30.0 mpg in SI units.arrow_forwardThis question has multiple parts. Work all the parts to get the most points. In the winter of 1994, record low temperatures were registered throughout the United States. For example, in Champaign, Illinois, a record low of –29°F was registered.arrow_forwardA formula 1 race car averages about 1.25 km/L. Show how to determine and then calculate this mileage in miles/gal using only the exact english to SI conversion factors listed below. (1 inch= 2.54 centimeters, 5280 ft= 1 mile, 1 fl oz. =29.57 ml, 1 gal=128 fl oz.)arrow_forward
- Having trouble with conversion factors. The question says write conversion factors ( as ratios) for a)kilometers in 1 mile b) Liters in 1 cubic foot c) grams in one ounce I need to understand exactly where i get the conversions from. One of the questions I looked up in the book said to do yards in a meter and the answer is 1.0936/1m. The conversion i see in the book says 1m=1.094 yd=39.36 in These problems come out of Chemistry Atoms First 2nd edition Chapter 1arrow_forwardTo determine the density of a solution, the mass and volume of two samples are measured. The results are recorded in the table. Sample 1 Sample 2 Mass (g) 9.90 9.84 Volume (mL) 10.0 10.07 In each sample, which measurement limits the number of significant digits in the calculated density? a. both measurements are limiting b. The mass measurement is limiting c. The volume measurement is limiting Sample 1____ Sample 2 ____ c.arrow_forwardAn empty beaker weighs 38.315 g. A 5.00 mL pipet sample of an unknown liquid was transferred to the beaker. The beaker weighs 44.953 g when weighed with the liquid in it. Calculate the density of the unknown liquid. Report a numerical value only in unit of grams per milliliter.arrow_forward
- 1. Comment on the differences in measurements obtained on the same objects using the meter stick, ruler, and tape measure. How close are they to one another? 2. Which type of electronic balance gives you the most accurate mass? Why? 3. Comment on the differences found between the different volumetric measuring devices. How does the volume of the graduated cylinder compare to that obtained by the volumetric flask (i.e. are the volumes the same?) Which of these measuring devices gives the most accurate volume? Which of these measuring devices would you consider the easiest to work with?arrow_forwardA chemist must dilute 78.3 mL of 9.91 mM aqueous calcium sulfate (CaSO4) solution until the concentration falls to 3.00 mM. She'll do this by adding distilled water to the solution until it reaches a certain final volume. Calculate this final volume, in liters. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits. ÚL x10 ?arrow_forward1. What is the volume occupied by an aluminum sheet with a mass of 5.28 g? Density of Al = 2.7 g/cm³. 2. What is the area of the filter paper with length of 12mm and width of 1.0cm?arrow_forward
