True/False Questions. Write False next to the following statements if the statement if false. Write true next to the following statements if the statement is false. 1) Numbers are usually written so that the uncertainty is in the last reported digit. 2) The decimal number 0.0000010 expressed in scientific notation is 1.0 × 106. 3) The decimal number 0.0210 expressed in scientific notation is 2.10 × 10-2, 4) The mass of an object, 4.55 x 10-3 g, expressed in decimal notation is 0.000455 g. 5) Zeros located between two numbers are not significant. 6). The imaginary decimal in the 24500 is located after the 5. 7). Significant figures are important in chemistry because significant figures reflect the degree of precision of the instrument used. 8) Zeros located after a number and after a decimal point are significant. 9) Trailing zeros at the end of a number which does not have a decimal are not significant. 10) The number 0.010100 has five significant figures. 11) The number 4,450,000.0…
The following prompt will be used to answer the first six questions. An experiment was performed to separate the components of a binary mixture composed of sucrose (sugar) and sand. The following data was collected in lab during the experiment. Mass of original binary mixture: 20.100 ± 0.001 g Mass of initial filter paper: 21.206 ± 0.001 g Mass of filter paper and isolated sand: 25.226 ± 0.001 g q3 Given the data and information in the prompt, what is the calculated absolute error on the percent of sand in the mixture? Enter the absolute error you calculated in the box below. You do not need to include the % symbol with your answer.

How will each of the following experimental errors influence the results of your calculated densities you reported? State whether the error will tend to make your density results too large, too small or unchanged. Explain why this would occur by identifying which measurements would be affected (high or low) and how this would affect the calculated density. Use the followingIn method 2, the metal cylinder you used had a number of air bubbles on its when immersed in the water
For a chemistry class, a student's grades are weighted as follows: quizzes are 30%, exams are 40%, and the final exam is 30%. If a student scored 90, 75, and 80 on the quizzes, exams, and final respectively, calculate the student's final grade. Express your answer to three significant figures.
