Question

perform the calculation. 4,250 ml × 340.2 k ÷ 260.1 k write your answer with the correct number of significant figures. round if necessary. ml

Explanation:

Step1: Perform the multiplication and division

First, multiply 4250 mL by 340.2 K and then divide by 260.1 K. The Kelvin units cancel out.
$4250\times340.2\div260.1$
$=\frac{4250\times340.2}{260.1}$
$=\frac{1445850}{260.1}$
$ = 5558.82353$

Step2: Determine significant - figures

4250 has 3 significant figures, 340.2 has 4 significant figures, and 260.1 has 4 significant figures. When multiplying and dividing, the result should have the same number of significant figures as the number with the fewest significant figures in the values used in the calculation. So, we round the result to 3 significant figures.
Rounding 5558.82353 to 3 significant figures gives 5560 mL.

Answer:

5560 mL
