- 1.47 A student weighs 10 quarters and finds that their total mass is 56.63 grams. What should she report as the average mass of quarter based on her data?arrow_forwardConsider multiplying “26.2” by “16.43.” What would a mathematician say the answer is? What would a scientist say? Justify the scientist’s answer, not merely citing the rule, hut explaining it.arrow_forwardFor Exercises 57 and 58, apples cost $1.75 per pound. . What conversion factor is appropriate to express the cost of 5.3 lb of apples? . What conversion factor could be used to determine how many pounds of apples could be bought for $25.00?arrow_forward
- a 90.4 mm to m and cm, b 11.9 m to mm and cm, c 53.6 cm to mm and marrow_forward8. A student determines the density of a substance to be 1400 g/L. What is the % error if the accepted value of the density is 0.001360 kg/mL 2.9 0.029 -2.9 -0.029arrow_forward1.10 (a) How many significant figures should be reported for thevolume of the metal bar shown here? (b) If the mass of thebar is 104.72 g, how many significant figures should be reportedwhen its density is determined using the calculatedvolume? [Section 1.6]arrow_forward
- My Data: 0.033 g/mL Class Data: 0.02904 g/mL 0.0256 g/mL Based on my results (0.033 g/mL), is the class data (0.02904 and 0.0256) precise, accurate, both, or neitherarrow_forwardThe density of magnesium is 1.7 g/cm3 , and the density of iron is 7.9 g/cm3 . Consider a block of iron with a mass of 819g. What is the mass of a block of magnesium that has the same volume as the block of iron?arrow_forwardA student determines the density of a substance to be 1400 g/L. What is the % error if the accepted value of the density is 0.001360 kg/mL a. 2.9 b. 0.029 c. -2.9 d. -0.029arrow_forward
- Gold has a density of 19.32(g)/(c)m. What would be the volume of 50g of gold? Gold is worth $55 per gram, how much would this piece of gold be worth?arrow_forwardIron has a density of 7.86 g/cm37.86 g/cm3 (1 cm3=1 mL1 cm3=1 mL). Calculate the volume (in dLdL) of a piece of iron having a mass of 4.32 kgkg . Note that the density is provided in different units of volume and mass than the desired units of volume (dLdL) and the given units of mass (kgkg). You will need to express the density in kg/dLkg/dL (1 cm3 = 1 mL1 cm3 = 1 mL) before calculating the volume for the piece of iron. Express your answer to three significant figures.arrow_forwardBob and Jill are measuring the height of Mr. Chenet (Mr Chenet is 1.8593 meters tall). Bob gets a measurement of 1.6329, while Jill gets a measurement of 1.8. This means that Bob is more accurate, while Jill is more precise. True or False?arrow_forward
