Question

you should be able to answer the following questions before beginning this experiment.

1. what are the basic units of length, mass, volume, and temperature in the si system?
2. what decimal power do the following abbreviations represent: (a) m, (b) k, (c) m, (d) n, and (e) μ?
3. what is the number of significant figures in each of the following measured quantities: (a) 351 g, (b) 0.0100 ml, (c) 1.010 ml, and (d) 3.72×10⁻³ cm³?
4. what is the length in millimeters of a crystal of copper sulfate that is 0.180 in. long?
5. perform the following conversions: (a) 72.3 mg to g, (b) 6.0×10⁻¹⁰ m to mm, and (c) 325 mm to μm.
6. dna is approximately 2.5 nm in length. if an average man is 5 ft 10 in. tall, how many dna molecule could be stacked to extend from the ground to the top of the head of an average man?
7. a liquid has a volume of 3.70 l. what is its volume in ml? in cm³?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall unit - conversion factors

1 L = 1000 mL, 1 cm³ = 1 mL.

Step2: Convert liters to milliliters

For the volume of the liquid, given V = 3.70 L. Using the conversion factor 1 L = 1000 mL, we have V(mL)=3.70×1000 = 3700 mL.

Step3: Convert liters to cubic - centimeters

Since 1 mL = 1 cm³ and V = 3700 mL, then V(cm³)=3700 cm³.

Answer:

The volume of the liquid in mL is 3700 mL and in cm³ is 3700 cm³.
