Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: We have to explain which numbers are exact (and therefore have an unlimited numbers of significant)

a. π=3.14

b. 12 inches= 1 foot

c. EPA gas mileage rating of 26 miles per gallon

d. 1 gross=144 should be explained

Concept introduction:

► Exact numbers have definite values, or the values are obtained by counting of objects, whereas am measured number is obtained when a quantity is measured by a measuring device. Exact numbers have unlimited number of significant figures.

" 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.
