Question
Chapter 1, Problem 1.58P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Error made by the guide has to be explained using the concept of significant figures.
Concept Introduction:
Precision is a state which tells about the closeness of the result to each other in an experiment. During a measurement, significant figures are used to tell about the uncertainty present in it.
There are six rules for determining the number of significant figures. They are given as follows.
- Nonzero digits and the zeros that are present between nonzero digits are significant.
- Zeros that are used merely to position the decimal are not significant.
- If zeros are present in the right end of the decimal point, then the zeros are significant.
- If zeros are present in the result are not in right of the decimal point, then the zeros may or may not be significant.
- If the zeros disappear when scientific notation is used means then those zeros are not significant.
- Exact numbers have no limit to their precision and they do not obey the rules given for significant figures.

- For each scenario below, select the color of the solution using the indicator thymol blue during the titration. When you first add indicator to your Na2CO3solution, the solution is basic (pH ~10), and the color is ["", "", "", "", ""] . At the equivalence point for the titration, the moles of added HCl are equal to the moles of Na2CO3. One drop (or less!) past this is called the endpoint. The added HCl begins to titrate the thymol blue indicator itself. At the endpoint, the indicator color is ["", "", "", "", ""] .
