You can take one pill from each bottle and place them on the scale. It will register 4.1 grams. Remove one pill at a time. If you've removed a 1 gram pill, it will say 3.1 grams. If you remove a 1.1 gram pill it will say 3.0... if the 1st pill weighed 1 gram, you can keep removing a pill until you come to a 2.0 or1.0 gram weight. You will then know which pill weighs 1.1 gram. Of course, I hope you remembered which bottle that pill came out of!!

the last part of your question states, "How can you determine with certainty which bottle contains the pills?", so my answer to you is, all of the bottles contains pills.
