Three students (A, B, and C) are asked to determine the volume of a sample of ethanol. Each student measures the volume three times with a graduated cylinder. The results in millilitres are:
A(87.1, 88.2, 87.6);
B(86.9, 87.1, 87.2);
C(87.6, 87.8, 87.9)
The true volume is 87.0 mL.
Comment on the precision and the accuracy of each student's results.
2. Carry out the following operations and express the answer with the appropriate number of significant figures
and units: (a) (5.231 mm)(6.1 mm), (b) 72.3 g/1.5 mL, (c) 12.21 g+0.0132 g, and (d) 31.03 g+ 12 mg.
TUMS is a popular remedy for acid indigestion. A typical TUMS tablet contains calcium carbonate plus some inert substances. When ingested, it reacts with the
gastric juice (hydrochloric acid) in the stomach to give off carbon dioxide gas. When a 1.371 g tablet reacted with 40.00 mL of hydrochloric acid
(density 1.140 ), carbon dioxide gas was given off, and the resulting solution weighed 46.699 g. Calculate the number of liters of carbon dioxide gas
ml
released if its density is 1.81
Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
