Question

suppose a buret was used to deliver 18.77 ml of water into a beaker. express the volume of water in liters, microliters, fluid ounces, and pints. use the equalities in the table for the conversions. report your answers to the correct number of significant figures.

equality
1 l = 10³ ml
1 ml = 10³ μl
1 fl oz = 29.5735 ml
1 pint = 473.176 ml

18.77 ml = \boxed{\space} l

18.77 ml = \boxed{\space} \times 10^0 μl

18.77 ml = \boxed{\space} fl oz

18.77 ml = \boxed{\space} pints

Explanation:

Step1: Convert mL to L

We know that \(1\space L = 10^{3}\space mL\), so to convert \(18.77\space mL\) to liters, we divide by \(10^{3}\).
\(18.77\space mL=\frac{18.77}{10^{3}}\space L = 18.77\times10^{- 3}\space L=0.01877\space L\)

Step2: Convert mL to \(\mu L\)

Given \(1\space mL = 10^{3}\space\mu L\), so multiply \(18.77\space mL\) by \(10^{3}\) to get \(\mu L\).
\(18.77\space mL = 18.77\times10^{3}\space\mu L=1.877\times 10^{4}\space\mu L\) (Here the question has a typo as \(10^{0}\) is incorrect, it should be \(10^{4}\) or maybe a misprint, but we follow the conversion. If we consider the box with \(×10^{0}\), maybe it's a formatting error, but the correct conversion gives \(1.877\times10^{4}\) where the coefficient is \(1.877\) and exponent \(4\), but if we force to write with \(×10^{0}\), it's not standard. However, proceeding with correct conversion: )

Step3: Convert mL to fl oz

We know that \(1\space fl\space oz = 29.5735\space mL\), so to convert \(18.77\space mL\) to fluid ounces, we divide by \(29.5735\).
\(18.77\space mL=\frac{18.77}{29.5735}\space fl\space oz\approx0.6347\space fl\space oz\)

Step4: Convert mL to pints

Given \(1\space pint = 473.176\space mL\), so divide \(18.77\space mL\) by \(473.176\) to get pints.
\(18.77\space mL=\frac{18.77}{473.176}\space pints\approx0.03967\space pints\)

Answer:

s:

• \(18.77\space mL=\boldsymbol{0.01877}\space L\)
• \(18.77\space mL=\boldsymbol{1.877\times 10^{4}}\space\mu L\) (If we consider the box with \(×10^{0}\), there might be a mistake in the question, but the correct conversion is as above)
• \(18.77\space mL=\boldsymbol{0.6347}\space fl\space oz\)
• \(18.77\space mL=\boldsymbol{0.03967}\space pints\)
