You would need to record to the 0.1 cm, then estimate the next significant figure. So you should have a measurement to the 0.01 cm.

How many atoms are there in a 0.250 mol sample of vanadium?

0.250 X Avogadro's Number = 1.51 X 1023, to the justified number of significant digits.


What is the mass of 2.47 moles of fluorine atoms?

The gram atomic mass of fluorine is 18.9984. Therefore, the mass of 2.47 moles is 2.47 times the gram atomic mass, or about 46.9 grams, to the justified number of significant digits.


How many atoms are in 1.4 g C?

(1.4/atomic mass of carbon) X Avogadro's number = 1.4/12.0 X 6.02 X 1023 = 7.0 X 1022 atoms, to the justified number of significant digits.


Does 1 gram sample of iron has a small number of atoms?

The number of atoms in 1 gram of iron is Avogadro's number multiplied by 1/55.845 = 1022, to the justified number of significant digits This is not a small number by most people's standards!


When you have 46 grams of sodium react with 160 grams of oxygen how many moles of sodium oxide are obtained?

The equation for the reaction is 4 Na + O2 -> 2 Na2O. This shows that, for complete reaction, one mole of oxygen is required for each four gram atomic masses of sodium. The gram atomic mass of sodium is 22.9898; therefore, 46 grams of sodium constitutes 2.00 moles of sodium, to more than the justified number of significant digits. The gram molecular mass of diatomic oxygen is 31.9988; therefore 160 grams of oxygen constitutes 5.000 moles of diatomic oxygen, to more than the justified number of significant digits. This is well over the minimum amount of oxygen required for complete reaction of all the sodium present. Each two gram atomic masses of sodium produces one gram formula mass of sodium oxide; therefore, the number of gram formula masses of sodium oxide produced is 1.00, to at least the justified number of significant digits.
