Question

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?

Answer 1

Given :

Volume of water in a transfer pipette is 15.23 ml.

A 6.7 ml volume of water was then transferred out.

To Find :

The new volume.

Solution :

Initial volume ,
`V_i=15.23\ ml`.

Volume removed out , v = 6.7 ml .

Let, new volume be
`V_f`.

Now , new volume = Initial volume - Volume removed out .

`V_f=V_i-v\\\\V_f=15.23-6.7\\\\ V_f=8.5\ ml`

Therefore, new volume is 8.5 ml.

Hence, this is the required solution.
