Question

P 1.4 Perform the following addition and subtraction problems with the following measured quantities. Assume ambiguous, place-holding zeros do not indicate a degree of precision.

a. 8.45 g + 12 g + 459.01 g = 479  

b. 323.98 g – 221.98 g =  g

c. 34.986 mL – 21 mL =  mL

d. 34,000 kg + 567 kg =  kg =  g

e. 6.04 m + 91 cm + 45 mm =  m =  cm

f. 6.04 m + 91 cm + 51 mm =  m =  mm



P 1.6 Perform the following multiplication problems, reporting your answer with the correct number of significant figures.

(a) (56.03 cm) x (1.000 cm) x (3518 cm) =  cm3

(b) (56.03 cm) x (1.00 cm) x (3518 cm) =  cm3

(c) (56.03 cm) x (1.0 cm) x (3518 cm) =  cm3


P 1.7 Perform the following multiplication and division problems with the following measured quantities. You cannot determine the number of significant figures in a number with ambiguous zeros and so there is no one correct answer for problems with ambiguous zeros.

a. (7.34 cm) x (0.0045 cm) x (124 cm) =  cm3


b.

 
 
45.9 g
1.4 mL
=
  g / mL
 



c.

 
 
145 mg
0.01 cm3
=
  g / mL
 




d. 8.95 m x 200 m =  m2


e. (13.98 cm) x (12.00 mm) =  cm2


P 1.8 Write the answer correctly for the following problems.

a.

 
 
45.95 g - 44.85 g
55.61 mL - 45.61 mL
=
  g / mL
 



b. (45.900 cm2) x (9.00 cm) = cm3

c. (3.14 cm) x (0.45 cm) x (1.67 cm) =  cm3

d. 6700 m + 800 m + 12.95 m =  m

e. 4.9054 kg + 45.8 g + 1326.9 mg =  kg =  g
