The uncertainties of the delta measurements and the uncertainty of the atomic weight derivedfrom the best measurement of isotopic abundances constrain the number of significant figures in theatomic-weight values of the upper and lower bounds. For carbon, the fifth digit after the decimal pointis uncertain because of the uncertainty value of 0.000 027. Therefore, the number of significant digitsin the atomic-weight value is reduced to four figures after the decimal point. The Commission may rec-ommend additional conservatism and reduce the number of significant figures further. For the lowerbound of carbon, 12.009 635 is truncated to 12.0096. For an upper bound, the trailing digit is increasedto ensure the atomic-weight interval encompasses the atomic-weight values of all normal materials. Inthe case of carbon, the upper bound is adjusted from 12.011 532 to 12.0116 to express four digits afterthe decimal point. The lower and upper bounds are evaluated so that the number of significant digits ineach is identical. If a value ends with a zero, it may need to be included in the value to express therequired number of digits. The following are examples of lower and upper atomic-weight bounds foroxygen that could be published by the Commission in its various tables.

In this case, according to the given STP (standard pressure and temperature), it is possible for us to realize that the equation to use here is the Avogadro's law as a directly proportional relationship between moles and volume:
In such a way, given the initial volume and both initial and final moles, we can easily compute the final volume as shown below:
