Chapter A2, Problem 3E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: We have to give the number of significant figures in each of the following numbers,

a. 0.000312 m

b. 312000 s

c. 3.12×105 km

d. 13,127 s

e. 2000

Concept introduction:

► Significant figures are the numbers which are reported in a measurement including the estimated digit.

► Scientific notation is a way to write very large numbers or very small numbers in small form for example like 0.000000065, we write 6.5× 108.

" is The structure of the bicarbonate (hydrogen carbonate) ion, HCO3-, HCO3 best described as a hybrid of several contributing resonance forms, two of which are shown here. HO :0: :Ö: HO + Bicarbonate is crucial for the control of body pH (for example, blood pH: 7.4). A more self-indulgent use is in baking soda, where it serves as a source of CO2 CO₂ 2 gas, which gives bread and pastry their fluffy constituency. (i) Draw at least one additional resonance form. = (ii) Using curved "electron-pushing" arrows, show how these Lewis structures may be interconverted by movement of electron pairs. (iii) Determine which form or forms will be the major contributor(s) to the real structure of bicarbonate, explaining your answer on the basis of the criteria in Section 1-5.
