Carbon monoxide (CO) detectors sound an alarm when peak levels of carbon monoxide reach 100 parts per million (ppm). This level roughly corresponds to a composition of air that contains \(400,000\) \mug carbon monoxide per cubic meter of air \(\left(400,000 \mu \mathrm{g} / \mathrm{m}^{3}\right) .\) Assuming the dimensions of a room are 18 \(\mathrm{ft} \times 12 \mathrm{ft} \times 8 \mathrm{ft}\) , estimate the mass of carbon monoxide in the room that would register 100 \(\mathrm{ppm}\) on a carbon monoxide detector.
For a pharmacist dispensing pills or capsules, it is often easier to weigh the medication to be dispensed than to count the individual pills. If a single antibiotic capsule weighs 0.65 g, and a pharmacist weighs out 15.6 g of capsules, how many capsules have been dispensed?
How many significant figures are there in each of the following values? a. \(6.07 \times 10^{-15}\) b. 0.003840 c. 17.00 d. \(8 \times 10^{8}\) e. 463.8052 f. 300 g. 301 h. 300
Which of the following are exact numbers? a. There are 100 cm in 1 m. b. One meter equals 1.094 yards. c. We can use the equation $$^\circ \mathrm{F}=\frac{9}{5}^{\circ} \mathrm{C}+32$$ to convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit temperature. Are the numbers \(\frac{9}{5}\) and 32 exact or inexact? d. \(\pi=3.1415927\)
