- How many significant figures are in each measurement? (a) 3.1416 degrees (b) 0.00314 K (c) 1.0079 s (d) 6.022 1023 particlesarrow_forwardWithout actually performing the calculations indicated,tell to how many significant digits the answer to the calculation should be expressed. (0.1 96)(0.08215)(295)/(1.1) (4.2 15 + 3.991 + 2.442)/(0.22) (7.881)(4.224) (0.00033)/(2.997) (6.2 19 + 2.03)/(3.1159)arrow_forwardWhat is the difference in surface area between two circles, one of radius 7.98 cm, the other of radius 8.50 cm? The surface area of a circle of radius r is r2. Obtain the result to the correct number of significant figures.arrow_forward
- For these questions, be sure to apply the rules for significant figures. a You are conducting an experiment where you need the volume of a box; you take the length, height, and width measurements and then multiply the values together to find the volume. You report the volume of the box as 0.310 m1. If two of your measurements were 0.7120 m and 0.52145 m, what was the other measurement? b If you were to add the two measurements from the first part of the problem to a third length measurement with the reported result of 1.509 m, what was the value of the third measurement?arrow_forwardYou are asked to identify an unknown liquid that is known to be one of the liquids listed below. You pipet a 3.50-mL sample into a beaker. The empty beaker had a mass of 12.20 g. and the beaker plus the liquid weighed 16.08 g. (a) Calculate the density and identify the unknown. (b) If you were able to measure the volume to only two significant figures (that is, 3.5 mL, not 3.50 mL), will the results be sufficiently accurate to identify the unknown? Explainarrow_forwardRound each answer to the correct number of significant figures. 9 +2.8 - 0.135+10.8=22.265 My previous answer was 22.3 it was incorrected.arrow_forward
