Convert the following:

1. 6.1 x 10^-2 m to Gm 2. 0.023 L to μL

6.1 x 10^-2 m | 1 Gm = 6.1 x 10^-11 Gm 0.023 L | 1 μL = 23000 μL or 2.3 x 10⁴ μL
| 1 x 10⁹ m | 1 x 10^-6 L

3. 2.37 x 10^-5 mg to g 4. 3.94 x 10⁷ cm³ to L

2.37 x 10^-5 mg | 1 x 10^-3 g = 2.37 x 10^-8 g 3.94 x 10⁷ mL | 1 x 10^-3 L = 39400 L / 3.94 x 10⁴ L
| 1 mg | 1 mL

5. 9.46 x 10⁹ kg to g 6. 4.88 x 10^-4 dm³ to mL
9.46 x 10⁹ kg | 1 x 10³ g = 9.46 x 10¹² g 4.88 x 10^-4 L | 1 mL = 0.488 mL
| 1 kg | 1 x 10^-3 L

5. 140.0 g 4 6. 0.0140 g 3

7. 4.10 x 10³ g 3 8. 2.003 x 10^-5 g 4

Round each number to the specified number of significant figures.

1. 14.989 4 SFs 14.99 3 SFs 15.0 2 SFs 15

2. 31,011 4 SFs 31,010 3 SFs 3.10 x 10⁴ 2 SFs 31,000

Calculate the following using the appropriate number of significant figures in your answer.

1. What is the volume of a shoebox whose dimensions are 125 cm by 25.5 cm by 30.0 cm?

V = l x w x h V = 125 cm x 25.5 cm x 30.0 cm = 95625 cm³ round to 95600 cm³

2. A woman has a purse weighing 954.4 g. A 121.23 g cell phone and an 11.29 g tube of lipstick were

stolen from it! How much does the purse weigh now?

954.4 g – 121.23 g – 11.29 g = 821.88 g round to 821.9 g

3. A graduated cylinder is places on an electronic balance and it reads 81.19 g. After 15.5 mL of

acetone were added, the balance reads 95.33 g. What is the density of acetone?
95.33 g – 81.19 g = 14.14 g = 0.912 g/mL
15.5 mL

4. Mystery object A has a density of 3.90 g/mL. If it weighs 450 g, what is its volume?

3.90 g/mL = 450 g V = 115.3846154 mL round to 120 mL
V

5. Marisa determined the melting point of a substance to be 24.5^oC. Find the percent error of her

measurement if the actual melting point is 31.2^oC.

|31.2^oC – 24.5^oC| x 100 = 21.5% or 21%
31.2^oC

6. What is the mass of a 35.5 cm³ sample of zinc? (The density of zinc is 7.14 g/cm³.)

7.14 g/cm³ = m m = 253 g
35.5 cm³

7. The molar mass of butane is 58.14 g/mole. Using his lab data, Tyrone calculated the molar mass
of butane as 44.21 g/mole. Find the percent error of his measurement.
|55.14 – 44.21| x 100 = 23.96%
55.14
