Why can't you multiply just one side of an equation by something when algebraically rearranging the equation?
The specific heat of methane gas is \(2.20 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{g} \cdot{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). If the temperature of a sample of methane gas rises by \(15^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) when \(8.8 \mathrm{~kJ}\) of heat energy is added to the sample, what is the mass of the sample?
Which one of the following expresses the measured value \(0.000003 \mathrm{~L}\) with the correct number of significant figures? (a) \(3 \mathrm{~mL}\) (b) \(3 \mu \mathrm{L}\) (c) \(3.00 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~L}\) (d) \(3.00 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~mL}\)
