- When a large or small number is written in standard scientific notation, the number is expressed as the product of a number between 1 and 10, multiplied by the appropriate power of 10. For each of the following numbers, indicate what power of 10 would be appropriate when expressing the numbers in standard scientific notation. a. 84,961,306 b. 0.4870 c. 0.000033812 d. 3,890,406,000,000arrow_forwardTwo students were assigned to determine the mass of a sample of an unknown liquid. Student A used an ordinary laboratory balance that could determine mass to ±0.01 g. Student B used an analytical balance that could measure mass to ±0.1 mg. Each made four measurements, giving the following results: Student A: 8.19 g, 8.22 g, 8.21 g, 8.25 g Student B: 8.2210 g, 8.2210 g, 8.2209 g, 8.2210 g 2. Which student is more precise?
