In the BAR report you need to calculate ln[Allura Red]. The sig. fig. for
log(x) and ln(x) are tricky. I addressed this in lecture. It's
explained in
a help file I have specifically about logs and s.f. at my "Helpful
Tidbit" link.
Sig. fig. for logarithms is also explained in Appendix A of the textbook.
This is also very important for ch 16 and 17 since you have to take base
ten logs to get pH, pOH, etc.
