IV. Simplify the following. (Rounding-off)

Addition and Substraction

1) 7.02 + 0.0088 = 7.03

2) 0.00235 + 2.9076 + 3.023 = 5.93
3) 7.92 – 3.3 – 0.18 = 4.44
4) 8.77 – 2.499 = 6.27
5) 4.00 + 2.2 + 51.89 + 9.21 = 67
Multiplication and Divission

6) (.798)(2.45) = 1.96
7) (4.457)(6.2)(3.0) = 82.90
8) 5.88 / 3.317 = 1.77
9) 900.2 / 46.5 = 19.36
10)(5.87)(5.390)(0.02109) = 0.67

VIIII. SOLVE THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS: SHOW YOUR

COMPLETE SOLUTION AND BOX THE FINAL ANSWER
 1) The density of alcohol is 0.9 g/mL. what is the
mass of 500 ml of alcohol?

Mass= 500ml X 0.9g =450g

1ml

2) The density of concentrated sulfuric acid is 1.80

g/mL. what volume of acid would weigh 5.0 g?
Volume= 5.0g = 2.78ml
1.80g/ml

3) A silver object weighing 195.3 is placed in

graduated cylinder containing 241.0 mL water. The
volume of the water now reads 260.5 mL. from this
data calculate the density of the silver.
Density= 195.3kg = 195, 300g = 10.02g/ml
19.5ml 19.5ml

4) The specific gravity of the sulfuric acid solution in a

fully charged lead storage battery is about 1.29.
what is the mass of the solution whose volume is
1.50 L?

Density= (1.840g/ml) (1.29) 3.555g
