Step 1 - Converting L to ml

1 L corresponds to 1000 ml. Since the volume of the gas sample is 425 L, we can convert it to ml by multiplying by 1000:


V=425*1000=425000\text{ ml}

Step 2 - Converting L to gallons

1 L corresponds to 0.26 gallon. Since the volume of the gas sample is 425 L, we can convert it to gallon by multiplying by 0.26:


V=425*0.26=110.5\text{ gallon}

Step 3 - Writing the results in scientific notation

To express a number in scientific notation, the number must be between 1 and 10. The first result, 425000 ml, can be expressed as:


425000ml=4.25*10^5ml

The second result, 110.5 gallons, can be expressed in scientific notation as:


110.5\text{ gallons=1.105}*10^2\text{ gallons}
