(a)
Interpretation:
The given number has to be rounded to four significant figures.
Concept Introduction:
Significant Figures:
While reporting a reading of a measurement, the digits that are considered to be significant irrespective of the place of location of decimal point are called significant figures.
All the digits in a measurement except zero are considered significant, whereas zero is considered as significant only when it lies in the middle of the digit or at the end of number on the right-hand side of a decimal point.
Rounding off:
Rounding off a simpler numeral by maintaining the value close to its original value.
Steps for Rounding off:
- The location of rounding should be found.
- If the next digit after the rounding place is greater than 5 (i.e 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9) the value will be rounded up.
- If the next digit after the rounding place is lesser than 5, (i.e 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4) the value will be rounded down.

Interpretation:
The given number has to be rounded to two significant figures.
Concept Introduction:
Refer part (a).
(d)
Answer to Problem 3.1P
The given number is rounded to two significant figure as
Explanation of Solution
Given data:
The given number is
Rounding off:
The next digit after the round place is five which is equal to five. Hence, the given value is rounded up at the second place.
Therefore, the given number is rounded as
The given number is rounded to two significant figure as

- Ideal Gas Law Practice Name If you need a refresher on Ideal Gas Law, go back to your Ideal Gas Law Reading Assignment from last week! On all of the following, you'll need to make sure to convert pressures to atm and convert temperatures to Kelvin in order to be able to use the R gas constant on your equation sheet! Given: Ideal Gas Law = then P= pressure V = volume R= ideal gas consent PV=nRT namount of substance n=PV/TR P=nRT/V I = temperature V=nRT/P T=PV/nR R=PV/nT 1. What pressure is required to contain 0.023 moles of nitrogen gas in a 4.2 L container at a temperature of 20.°C? 2. Oxygen gas is collected at a pressure of 123 kPa in a container which has a volume of 10.0 L. What temperature must be maintained on 0.500 moles of this gas in order to maintain this pressure? Express the temperature in degrees Celsius. 3. How many moles of chlorine gas would occupy a volume of 35.5 L at a pressure of 100.0 kPa and a temperature of 100. °C? After determining the number of moles,…arrow_forward1.
