How does the precision of a calculated answer compare to the precision of the measurements used to obtain it?

This question refers to significant figures. The reason we follow significant figure rules when performing calculations in science is that a calculated answer (which is an extrapolation of a manipulation of measurements) can only be as precise as the least precise measurement recorded. This means if you record measurements to a certain precision, the calculated answer at the most can only match the recorded level of precision as to balance the level of confidence in accuracy before and after calculations.

Very easy significant figures question!
Anon25 [30]

As you said, the answer is 150.

But in all the numbers, there's a comma with two zeros, and so you have to put them in your answer : 150,00

They are the significative numbers.

Hope it helps

Calculate the molarity a solution that is obtained by dissolving 20 g of KCl in enough water to obtain 355 mL of the solution. A
tester [92]

Answer:

a) Molarity KCl = 0.755 M

b) molality HNO = 5.09 m

Explanation:

  • Formality (F) = moles sto / L sln
  • Molarity (M) = # dissolved specie / L sln
  • molality (m) = moles sto / Kg ste
  • %p/p = ( g sto / g ste ) * 100

a) KCl ↔ K+  +  Cl-

moles KCL:

⇒ 20 g KCl * ( mol / 74.6 g ) = 0.268 mol KCl

⇒ F = 0.268 mol KCl / 0.355 L = 0.755 F

⇒ M [ K+ ] = 1 * ( 0.755) = 0.755 M

b) 24% HNO:

calculation base: 1 g solution:

⇒24 = ( g sto / g sln) * 100

⇒ 0.24 = g sto / 1

⇒ g sto = 0.24g  

⇒g sln = 1 - 0.24 = 076g sln

⇒Kg ste = 0.76 g * ( Kg / 1000g ) = 7.6 E-4 Kg ste

moles sto (HNO):

⇒ 0.24g * ( mol / 62.03g) = 3.869 E-3 moles HNO

⇒ m = 3.869 E-3 moles HNO / 7.6 E-4 Kg sln

⇒ m = 5.09 mol/Kg
