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?

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 , .

Volume removed out , v = 6.7 ml .

Let, new volume be .

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

Therefore, new volume is 8.5 ml.

Hence, this is the required solution.
