- The label on a bale of mulch indicates a volume of 1.45 ft3. The label also states that the mulch in the bale will cover an area of a garden 6 ft 6 ft to a depth of 1 in. Account for the discrepancy in the given volumes.arrow_forwardA manufacturer of paint claims that a gallon (3.78L) of latex paint can cover 365 ft2 of the surface of a wall in a single coating. The paint manufacturer also claims that one single coating of an entire wall will be 3.40 mm thick. Is this a case of false advertising? Yes or No? Elaborate your answer by providing a calculation. You may use the following conversions: 12 in = 1 ft, 2.54 = 1 inarrow_forwardI think I did a calculation wrong but I am having trouble understanding significant figures. In this problem, I am calculation the density of water from my previous calculations mass= 7.359g and volume=7.8mL. So I then divided 7.359g by 7.8mL to find density and got (.9434615385) on my calculator which I then turned into (.94) because I believe there should be 2 significant figures. Is (.94) correct or should 1.4 be the final answer?arrow_forward
- What is the boiling point of water at an elevation of 1.55×104 ftft ? Express your answer with the appropriate units using three significant figures.arrow_forwardThe drug cyclophosphamide is administered for breast cancer at a daily dose of 100 mg/m^2 for up to 14 consecutive days. The BSA of a patient measuring 5 ft and 1 inch in height and weighing 95 lbs is ____ m^2, and total quantity administered over the 2-week period is ____ g.arrow_forwardStraight-chain, saturated carboxylic acids, a class of hydrocarbons, have the general formula CnH2n+1COOH where n is an integer that ranges from 1 to 18. What would be the %C by mass if n = 8? Atomic weights: C = 12.01, H = 1.01, O = 15.99. Input values only with two decimal places. Do not include the units.arrow_forward
- Express the answer to this multi-step calculation using the appropriate number of significant figuresarrow_forwardThe population density of worms in a particular field is 34 worms per cubic meter of soil. How many worms would there be in the top meter of soil in a field that has dimensions of 1.00 km by 2.5 km?arrow_forwardA cylindrical bar was found at the bottom of a storage tank of unknown composition. The material had a diameter of 8 mm, a length of 62 cm and a mass of 0.018 kg. What is the density of this material in g/mL? The volume of a cylinder is given by V = πr^2h.arrow_forward
- a thin sheet of nickel measured 5.00 cm by 7.00 cm was found to weigh .350 g. if the density of nickel is 8.90 g/cm3, what is the thickness of this sheet?arrow_forwardWhat is the mass of a cylinder of lead with a radius of 1 centimeter and a height of 3 centimeters, given that the density of lead is 11.4 (g)/(cm^(3))?arrow_forwardWhich piece of equipment would you use to measure 7.10 mL of CuSO4 (aq)?arrow_forward
