You plot A vs Conc (mg/mL) for a set of 5 standards in mg/mL and get the equation for the line as 0.962=0.310x+0.315. Solve for x and report the results with correct units and sig-figs.
Is this question really just as simple as solving for x? I feel like I'm missing something here...
Solve the value of x in the expression and express your answer in correct significant figures
log ( [3.0 x 10 -2][2.0 x 10 4] / (2.0 x]3 ) = 1.347
The value of x, in correct significant figures, is
Does the answer need 2 sig figs or 3?

The E. coli bacterial cell has a mass of m = 0.400 fg (where a femtogram, fg, is 10- -15 and is swimming at a velocity of v = 6.00 μm/s, with an uncertainty in the velocity of 1.00 %. E. coli bacterial cells are around 1 μm (10-6 m) in length. The student is supposed to observe the bacterium and make a drawing. However, the student, having just learned about the Heisenberg uncertainty principle in physics class, complains that she cannot make the drawing. She claims that the uncertainty of the bacterium's position is greater than the microscope's viewing field, and the bacterium is thus impossible to locate.
