948 or 9.48 x 10^2

There are two sets of rules for significant figures

• One set for addition and subtraction

• Another set for multiplication and division

You used the set for multiplication and division.

This problem involves addition and subtraction, and the rule is

The number of places after the decimal point in the answer must be <em>no greater than the number of decimal places in every term</em> in the sum.

Thus, we have

78.9

+890.43

-21.

= 948.33

The "21" term has the fewest digits after the decimal point (none), so the answer must have no digits after the decimal point.

To the correct answer is 948 = 9.48 x 10^2. It has three significant figures.

Calculate the volume in liters of a ×7.7310−5/mmolL silver(II) oxide solution that contains 475.μmol of silver(II) oxide AgO . R

Serhud [2]

Answer: Thus volume in liters is $6.14\times 10^3L$

Explanation:

Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of the solution.

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of silver oxide}}{\text{Volume of solution in L}}$ .....(1)

Molarity of silver oxide solution = $7.73\times 10^{-5}mmol/L=7.73\times 10^{-2}\mu mol/L$ $1mmol=1000\mu mol$

Moles of silver oxide = $475\mu mol$

Volume of solution in L = ?

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$7.73\times 10^{-2}\mu mol\L=\frac{475\mu mol}{\text{Volume of solution in L}}\\\\\{\text{Volume of solution in L}}=\frac{475\mu mol}{7.73\times 10^{-2}\mu mol\L}=6.14\times 10^3L$

Thus volume in liters is $6.14\times 10^{3}L$
