This should not matter because the pipet has gradations and usually more of the sample is taken up in the pipette than what is delivered into the flask the student should always rinse the container being used because they are contaminating the sample if they do not clean it out
3.0 × 10¹¹ RBC's (or) 3E11 RBC's
Solution:
Step 1: Convert mm³ into L;
As,
1 mm³ = 1.0 × 10⁻⁶ Liters
So,
0.1 mm³ = X Liters
Solving for X,
X = (0.1 mm³ × 1.0 × 10⁻⁶ Liters) ÷ 1 mm³
X = 1.0 × 10⁻⁷ Liters
Step 2: Calculate No. of RBC's in 5 Liter Blood:
As given
1.0 × 10⁻⁷ Liters Blood contains = 6000 RBC's
So,
5.0 Liters of Blood will contain = X RBC's
Solving for X,
X = (5.0 Liters × 6000 RBC's) ÷ 1.0 × 10⁻⁷ Liters
X = 3.0 × 10¹¹ RBC's
Or,
X = 3E11 RBC's
