Determine the location of the last significant place value by placing a bar over the digit.
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

8,040  

0.0300  

699.5  

2.000 x 102

0.90100  

90, 100  

4.7 x 10-8  

10,800,000.0  

3.01 x 1021

0.000410

Explanation:

First remember the following rules of determining the last significant place value :

1. The digits from 1-9 are all significant and zeros between significant digits are also significant.

2.  The trailing or ending zeroes are significant only in case of a decimal number otherwise they are ignored. However starting zeroes of such a number are not significant.

Now observing above rules, lets determine the location of the last significant place value of each given example. I am determining the location by turning the last significant place to bold.

1) 8,040

8,040

Location of the last significant place value is 3 and bar is over last significant digit that is 4. Number is not decimal so ending zero is ignored. Every non zero digit is a significant.

2)  0.0300

0.0300

Location is 3 and bar is over 0. Number has a decimal point so ending zero is not ignored but starting zeroes are ignored.

3) 699.5

699.5

Location is 4 and bar is over 5.

4) 2.000 x 10²

2.000 x 10²

Location is 4 and bar is over 0. This is because the number is decimal so trailing zeroes cannot be ignored. Also if we convert this number it becomes:

200.0 so last significant digit is 0 and location of last significant digit is 4.

5) 0.90100

0.90100

Location is 5 and bar is over 0. This is because in a number with decimal point starting zeroes are ignored but trailing zeroes after decimal point are not ignored. So we count from 9 and last significant digit is 0.

6) 90, 100

90, 100

Location is 3 and bar is over 1. This is because it is not a number with decimal point. So the trailing zeroes are ignored. The count starts from 9 and last significant is 1.

7) 4.7 x 10⁻⁸

4.7 x 10⁻⁸

Location is 2 and bar is over 7. This is because the starting zeroes in a number with a decimal point are ignored. So the first digit considered is 4 and last significant digit is 7. If we expand this number:

4.7 x 10⁻⁸ =    0.000000047 = 0.000000047

Here the starting zeroes are ignored because there is a decimal point in the number.

8) 10,800,000.0

10,800,000.0

Location is 9 and bar is over 0.  Number has a decimal point so ending zero is not ignored and last significant figure is 0.

However if the number is like:

10,800,000. Then location would be 8 and bar is over 0.

9) 3.01 x 10²¹

3.01 x 10²¹

Location is 3 and bar is over 1. Lets expand this number first

3.01 x 10²¹ = 3.01 x 1000000000000000000000

                  = 3010000000000000000000

So this is the number:

3010000000000000000000

Since this is number does not have a decimal point so the trailing zeroes are ignored. Hence the count starts from 3 and the last significant figure is 1

10) 0.000410

0.000410

Location is 3 and bar is over 0. This is because the number has a decimal point so the ending zero is not ignored but the starting zeroes are ignored according to the rules given above. Hence the first significant figure is 4 and last significant figure is 0.

the volume of a gas is 550 ml at 960 mm hg and 200.0°C. What volume would the pressure of the gas be 830 mm Hg if the temperatur
gavmur [86]

Answer:

V₂ = 568.9 mL

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of gas = 550 mL

Pressure of a gas = 960 mmHg

Temperature = 200.0°C ( 200+273 = 473 K)

Final volume = ?

Final pressure = 830 mmHg

Final temperature = 150°C (150+273 = 423 K)

Solution:

Formula:  

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂  

P₁ = Initial pressure

V₁ = Initial volume

T₁ = Initial temperature

P₂ = Final pressure

V₂ = Final volume

T₂ = Final temperature

Solution:

V₂ = P₁V₁ T₂/ T₁ P₂  

V₂ = 960 mmHg × 550 mL × 423 K / 473 K ×830 mmHg

V₂ = 223344000 mL / 392590

V₂ = 568.9 mL
