Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The given measurement is to be subtracted and the answer is rounded off to the proper significant digit.
Concept introduction:
During the addition or subtraction of measurements, the answer is found to be limited by the value with the greatest uncertainty that is the answer by the decimal place is limited. The final unit in addition and subtraction remains the same as the unit in each single data.

- If the density of gold is 19.3 g/mL, what is its specific gravity?arrow_forwardWhat is the minimum mass of ilmenite FeTiO3 , a titanium ore, from which 2.0kg of pure titanium could be extracted? Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, if necessary, and is rounded to the correct number of significant digits.arrow_forwardWhat is the density of copper (in g/cm3) if a rectangular bar measuring 0.60 cm in height, 2.04 cm in width, and 12.00 cm in length has a mass of 131.6 g?arrow_forward
- Which answer represents the measurement 0.00569 g rounded to two significant figures?arrow_forwardHow can I solve a multidimensional analysis problem involving unit conversions for chemistry? 5.1 x 103 J/m2 to MJ/mm2arrow_forwardWhat is the minimum mass of galena (PbS), a lead ore, from which 6.0kg of pure lead could be extracted? Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, if necessary, and is rounded to 2 significant digits.arrow_forward
- the question asks to convert it to Japanese yen, I did so and wasn't sure what the sig figs should come out to be, I figured it to be four sig figs because when finding the mass in grams, we multiply by 10.49 which has four sig figs and I carried it through to the end, reaching 2.1935x105 Japanese Yen. Is this correct in terms of answers AND in terms of significant figures?arrow_forwarda rectangular solid measures 2.55 cm by 1.20 cm by 4.15 cm on each side. if it weighs 110.989 g, what is its density?arrow_forwardThe accepted (true) density of aluminum is 2.70 g/cm3. If a student, after performing an experiment, found the value to be 2.45 g/cm3, calculate the percent error for this value. Group of answer choicesarrow_forward
- What is the density of a block of metal that measures 62.88cm by 34.220cm by 5.18cm and has a mass of 24,983.44 grams? please explain step by step .arrow_forwardIf mercury (density = 13.6 g/cm3) at a height of 895 mm Hg in a mercury barometer is replaced with water (density = 1.00 g/cm3), under the same conditions the height of water will be. (The unit of your answer should be in meter with five significant figures)arrow_forwardWhy is the length of the line in the illustration below reported as 2.55 in. with one ruler and as 2.5 in. with another?arrow_forward
