- The volume of a square pyramid is (1/3)Bh where B is the area of the square base and h is the height. One student's measurements of a pyramid are B=1.33m2 h=2.79 m. Another student's measurements of the same pyramid are B=1.31m2, h=2.81 m. What is the difference in the volumes of the pyramid calculated by the two students?arrow_forwardExpress each of the following numbers instandardscientific notation. a. 0.5012 b. 5,012,000 c. 0.000005012 d. 5.012 e. 5012 f. 0.005012arrow_forwardWhen chlorine gas is bubbled into a solution of sodium bromide, the sodium bromide reacts to give bromine, a red-brown liquid, and sodium chloride (ordinary table salt). A solution was made by dissolving 20.6 g of sodium bromide in 100.0 g of water. After passing chlorine through the solution, investigators analyzed the mixture. It contained 16.0 g of bromine and 11.7 g of sodium chloride. How many grams of chlorine reacted?arrow_forward

- A student sets up the following equation to convert a measurement. (The? stands for a number the student is going to calculate.) Fill in the missing part of this equation. Note: your answer should be in the form of one or more fractions multiplied together. (-3.2 x 10^3 J/mmol C) * __ = kJ/mol.Carrow_forwardA student sets up the following equation to convert a measurement. ( The ? stands for a number the student is going to calculate.)

- Suppose that a new temperature scale has been devised on which the melting point of ethanol (-117.3°C) and the boiling point of ethanol (78.3°C) are taken as 0°S and 100°S, respectively, where S is the symbol for the new temperature scale. Derive an equation relating a reading on this scale to a reading on the Celsius scale. What would this thermometer read at 25°C?arrow_forwardA Toyota Prius Hybrid uses 59.7 L gasoline to drive from San Francisco to Seattle, a distance of 1300 km (two significant digits). (a) What (average) fuel economy, in miles per gallon, did the Prius get during this trip? (b) If gasoline costs $3.90 per gallon, what was the fuel cost for this trip? REGARDING PART B!! So, the answer listed for part b is $62. Why is it 2 significant figures? Shouldn't it be $61.6 since 59.7 L is 3 significant figures? Here is my calculation: (59.7 L) x (1.0567 qt/1L) x (1 gal/ 4 qt) = 15.8 gallons x $3.90 = $61.6 I see for part A why it is 2 significant figures, since 1300 km is 2 significant figures, but shouldn't part b be 3 significant figures since the kilometers is not involved?
