FAQs on Reading Log/Antilog tables: Basic Mathematics for Students of Chemistry Video Lecture - Chemistry Class 11 - NEET

1. What are reading log/antilog tables?
Reading log/antilog tables are mathematical reference tables used to quickly find the logarithm or antilogarithm (exponential) values of numbers. These tables provide a convenient way to perform logarithmic and exponential calculations without the need for a calculator or complex mathematical calculations.
2. How do I read a log table?
To read a log table, you need to locate the given number in the leftmost column of the table. Once you find the number, move horizontally to the column representing the desired decimal places. The value at the intersection of the row and column will be the logarithm of the given number.
3. How do I use an antilog table?
To use an antilog table, you need to locate the given logarithm value in the leftmost column of the table. Once you find the value, move horizontally to the column representing the desired decimal places. The value at the intersection of the row and column will be the antilogarithm (exponential) value corresponding to the given logarithm.
4. Can I use a log table to find the logarithm of any number?
Yes, you can use a log table to find the logarithm of any positive number. However, the accuracy of the result may depend on the level of approximation provided in the table. Log tables usually provide logarithms for a specific range of numbers with a certain degree of precision.
5. Are log tables still used in modern mathematics and chemistry?
Log tables were extensively used before the advent of calculators and computers. However, with the availability of electronic devices, log tables are less commonly used today. Nevertheless, log tables still serve as a useful tool for understanding logarithmic concepts and can be helpful in situations where electronic devices are not accessible or when quick estimations are required.
