1.32 (a) Addition using scientific notation.
Strategy: Let's express scientific notation as N × 10
n
. When adding numbers using scientific notation, we
must write each quantity with the same exponent, n. We can then add the N parts of the numbers, keeping the
exponent, n , the same.
Solution: Write each quantity with the same exponent, n.
Let’s write 0.0095 in such a way that n = −3. We have decreased 10
n by 10
3 , so we must increase N by 10
3 .
Move the decimal point 3 places to the right.
− 3
Add the N parts of the numbers, keeping the exponent, n , the same.
− 3
− 3
− 3
The usual practice is to express N as a number between 1 and 10. Since we must decrease N by a factor of 10
to express N between 1 and 10 (1.8), we must increase 10
n by a factor of 10. The exponent, n , is increased by
1 from −3 to −2.
− 3 = 1.8 × 10
− 2
(b) Division using scientific notation.
Strategy: Let's express scientific notation as N × 10
n
. When dividing numbers using scientific notation,
divide the N parts of the numbers in the usual way. To come up with the correct exponent, n , we subtract the
exponents.
Solution: Make sure that all numbers are expressed in scientific notation.
2
Divide the N parts of the numbers in the usual way.
Subtract the exponents, n.
2 − (−8) = 1.14 × 10
2 + 8 = 1.14 × 10
10
(c) Subtraction using scientific notation.
Strategy: Let's express scientific notation as N × 10
n
. When subtracting numbers using scientific notation,
we must write each quantity with the same exponent, n. We can then subtract the N parts of the numbers,
keeping the exponent, n , the same.
(b) Subtraction
Strategy: The number of significant figures to the right of the decimal point in the answer is determined by
the lowest number of digits to the right of the decimal point in any of the original numbers.
Solution: Writing both numbers in decimal notation, we have
0.00326 mg
− 0.0000788 mg
0.00318 12 mg
The bolded numbers are nonsignificant digits because the number 0.00326 has five digits to the right of the
decimal point. Therefore, we carry five digits to the right of the decimal point in our answer.
The correct answer rounded off to the correct number of significant figures is:
0.00318 mg = 3.18 × 10
− 3 mg
(c) Addition
Strategy: The number of significant figures to the right of the decimal point in the answer is determined by
the lowest number of digits to the right of the decimal point in any of the original numbers.
Solution: Writing both numbers with exponents = +7, we have
7 dm) + (7.74 × 10
7 dm) = 8.14 × 10
7 dm
Since 7.74 × 10
7 has only two digits to the right of the decimal point, two digits are carried to the right of the
decimal point in the final answer.
(d) Subtraction, addition, and division
Strategy: For subtraction and addition, the number of significant figures to the right of the decimal point in
that part of the calculation is determined by the lowest number of digits to the right of the decimal point in
any of the original numbers. For the division part of the calculation, the number of significant figures in the
answer is determined by the number having the smallest number of significant figures. First, perform the
subtraction and addition parts to the correct number of significant figures, and then perform the division.
Solution:
(7.8 m 0.34 m) 7.5 m / (1.15 s 0.82 s) 1.97 s
3.8 m s
1.37 Calculating the mean for each set of date, we find:
Student A: 87.6 mL
Student B: 87.1 mL
Student C: 87.8 mL
From these calculations, we can conclude that the volume measurements made by Student B were the most
accurate of the three students. The precision in the measurements made by both students B and C are fairly
high, while the measurements made by student A are less precise. In summary:
Student A: neither accurate nor precise
Student B: both accurate and precise
Student C: precise, but not accurate
1.38 Calculating the mean for each set of date, we find:
Tailor X: 31.5 in
Tailor Y: 32.6 in
Tailor Z: 32.1 in
From these calculations, we can conclude that the seam measurements made by Tailor Z were the most
accurate of the three tailors. The precision in the measurements made by both tailors X and Z are fairly high,
while the measurements made by tailor Y are less precise. In summary:
Tailor X: most precise
Tailor Y: least accurate and least precise
Tailor Z: most accurate

Strategy: The problem may be stated as
? mg = 242 lb
A relationship between pounds and grams is given on the end sheet of your text (1 lb = 453.6 g). This
relationship will allow conversion from pounds to grams. A metric conversion is then needed to convert
grams to milligrams (1 mg = 1 × 10
− 3 g). Arrange the appropriate conversion factors so that pounds and
grams cancel, and the unit milligrams is obtained in your answer.
Solution: The sequence of conversions is
lb → grams → mg

Check: Does your answer seem reasonable? Should 242 lb be equivalent to 110 million mg? How many
mg are in 1 lb? There are 453,600 mg in 1 lb.
(d)
Strategy: The problem may be stated as
? lb = 28.3 μg
A relationship between pounds and grams is given on the end sheet of your text (1 lb = 453.6 g). This
relationship will allow conversion from grams to pounds. If we can convert from μg to grams, we can then
convert from grams to pounds. Recall that 1 μg = 1 × 10
− 6 g. Arrange the appropriate conversion factors so
that μg and grams cancel, and the unit pounds is obtained in your answer.
Solution: The sequence of conversions is
μg → g → lb

1.42 Strategy: The problem may be stated as
? s = 365.24 days
You should know conversion factors that will allow you to convert between days and hours, between hours
and minutes, and between minutes and seconds. Make sure to arrange the conversion factors so that days,
hours, and minutes cancel, leaving units of seconds for the answer.
Solution: The sequence of conversions is
days → hours → minutes → seconds
Using the following conversion factors,

1.62 In order to work this problem, you need to understand the physical principles involved in the experiment in
Problem 1.61. The volume of the water displaced must equal the volume of the piece of silver. If the silver
did not sink, would you have been able to determine the volume of the piece of silver?
The liquid must be less dense than the ice in order for the ice to sink. The temperature of the experiment must
be maintained at or below 0°C to prevent the ice from melting.

The percent error is the amount of uncertainty in a measurement divided by the value of the measurement,
converted to percent by multiplication by 100.

1.72 First, calculate the volume of 1 kg of seawater from the density and the mass. We chose 1 kg of seawater,
because the problem gives the amount of Mg in every kg of seawater. The density of seawater is given in
Problem 1.71.
mass volume density
1000 g volume of 1 kg of seawater 970.9 mL 0.9709 L 1.03 g/mL
In other words, there are 1.3 g of Mg in every 0.9709 L of seawater.
Next, let’s convert tons of Mg to grams of Mg.

1.92 We assume that the thickness of the oil layer is equivalent to the length of one oil molecule. We can calculate
the thickness of the oil layer from the volume and surface area.

A concentration of 1 ppm of fluorine is needed. In other words, 1 g of fluorine is needed per million grams of
water. NaF is 45.0% fluorine by mass. The amount of NaF needed per year in kg is:

An average person uses 150 gallons of water per day. This is equal to 569 L of water. If only 6 L of water is
used for drinking and cooking, 563 L of water is used for purposes in which NaF is not necessary. Therefore
the amount of NaF wasted is:

1.95 To calculate the density of the pheromone, you need the mass of the pheromone, and the volume that it
occupies. The mass is given in the problem. First, let’s calculate the volume of the cylinder. Converting the
