Answer

$$0.125 \space mg \space Levsin = 1 \space mL \space of \space solution$$ $$\frac{0.125 \space mg \space Levsin }{1 \space mL \space of \space solution} \space and \space \frac{1 \space mL \space of \space solution}{0.125 \space mg \space Levsin }$$ - The $0.125$ mg is measured. It has three significant figures. The 1 in 1 mL is exact.

Work Step by Step

1. Write the equality: $$0.125 \space mg \space Levsin = 1 \space mL \space of \space solution$$ 2. Write the corresponding conversion factors: - Create two fractions with the values of the equality in it. The "equal" symbol separates the divisor and the dividend. $$\frac{0.125 \space mg \space Levsin }{1 \space mL \space of \space solution} \space and \space \frac{1 \space mL \space of \space solution}{0.125 \space mg \space Levsin }$$ - The $0.125$ mg is measured. It has three significant figures. The 1 in 1 mL is exact. ** Hint: Follow the Sample Problem 2.8 example to determine if the number is exact or measured.
