The volume of water in a transfer pipette is 15.23 ml. A 6.7 mL
volume of water was then transferred out. Considering
significant figures, what is the new volume?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The new volume of water in the pipette is 8.53 mL

Explanation:

The given information are;

The initial volume of water in the transfer pipette = 15.23 mL

The amount of water transferred from the pipette = 6.7 mL

The new volume of water in the transfer pipette is given as follows;

New volume of water in the pipette =  Initial volume of water in the pipette - Volume of water transferred out

Therefore, we have;

New volume of water in the pipette = 15.23 mL - 6.7 mL = 8.53 mL

The new volume of water in the pipette = 8.53 mL

Answer:

8.5

Explanation:

15.23 - 6.7 = 8.53

The correct amount of sig figs would make the answer 8.5
