Chapter 2.3, Problem 36PP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The number of significant figure in 0.049450s needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The term significant figures can be defined as the total number of digits including the last digit whose value is undecided. There are following rules are for the determination of significant figures as follows:

  • All the non-zero and zero digits between non-zero digits are considered to be significant.
  • Zeros to the left of the first non-zero digits in any number are not significant.
  • If any number ends in zeros which are right of a decimal point, then the zeros are considered to be significant.
  • If any number ends in zeros which are not to the right of a decimal point, then the zeros may or may not be significant.

Answer to Problem 36PP

The number of significant figures in 0.049450s is five.

Explanation of Solution

The number of significant figures in 0.049450s contains five significant figures because the first zero after the decimal point is not considered as a significant figure they are there to place the digits in the correct position relative to the decimal point. The last zero right of the decimal point is significant.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The number of significant figures in 0.000482mL needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The term significant figures can be defined as the total number of digits including the last digit whose value is undecided. There are following rules are for the determination of significant figures as follows:

  • All the non-zero and zero digits between non-zero digits are considered to be significant.
  • Zeros to the left of the first non-zero digits in any number are not significant.
  • If any number ends in zeros which are right of a decimal point, then the zeros are considered to be significant.
  • If any number ends in zeros which are not to the right of a decimal point, then the zeros may or may not be significant.

Answer to Problem 36PP

The number of significant figures in 0.000482mL is three.

Explanation of Solution

The number of significant figures in 0.000482mL contains three significant figures because the first three zeros after the decimal point is not considered as significant figures they are there to place the digits in the correct position relative to the decimal point.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The number of significant figures in 3.1587×104g needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The term significant figures can be defined as the total number of digits including the last digit whose value is undecided. There are following rules are for the determination of significant figures as follows:

  • All the non-zero and zero digits between non-zero digits are considered to be significant.
  • Zeros to the left of the first non-zero digits in any number are not significant.
  • If any number ends in zeros which are right of a decimal point, then the zeros are considered to be significant.
  • If any number ends in zeros which are not to the right of a decimal point, then the zeros may or may not be significant.

Answer to Problem 36PP

The number of significant figures in 3.1587×104g is five.

Explanation of Solution

Scientific notation is a term used to express any number as a number between 1 and 10 (termed as coefficient) multiplied by 10 raised to a power (termed as exponent). Scientists express numbers in a scientific notation form. There are five significant figures in the given number.

(d)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The number of significant figures in 0.0084mL needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The term significant figures can be defined as the total number of digits including the last digit whose value is undecided. There are following rules are for the determination of significant figures as follows:

  • All the non-zero and zero digits between non-zero digits are considered to be significant.
  • Zeros to the left of the first non-zero digits in any number are not significant.
  • If any number ends in zeros which are right of a decimal point, then the zeros are considered to be significant.
  • If any number ends in zeros which are not to the right of a decimal point, then the zeros may or may not be significant.

Answer to Problem 36PP

The number of significant figures in 0.0084mL is two.

Explanation of Solution

The number of significant figures in 0.0084mL contains two significant figures because the first two zeros after the decimal point are not considered as significant figure they are there to place the digits in the correct position relative to the decimal point.
