24.305 grams/mole Magnesium X 5 moles = 121.525 grams. The correct number of significant digits depends on the values given in the question. Since there was only one value (5), and it refers to a perfect integer amount (5 moles). The question of the correct number of significant digits is undefined and depends entirely on the number of significant digits available for the Atomic Mass of Magnesium. Since there are 5 significant digits in the Atomic mass used, the answer would be correctly stated as 121.53 grams to 5 significant digits.
The rule when rounding off numbers is "If the first figure to be discarded is 5 or more then the previous figure is increased by 1". When 16490 is rounded off to 2 significant figures then the first figure to be discarded is 4. As this is less than 5 then the previous figure (6) is not increased by 1. 16490 to 2 significant figures is 16000.
Rounded to two significant figures, 7.42 grams is approximately equal to 7.4 grams.
Density = mass / volume = 12.9 grams / 8 cm3 = 1.6125 = rounded to one significant figure = 2 grams/cm3.
2.000 = 2,000.000g 6.5 determines only one significant figure 2,000 + 6.5 + 47.546 = 2,054.046 which would be 2,054.0 In scientific notation that would equal 2.0540 * 103
The 3 and the 2.
how do you figure out on paper that 16 ounces equal 453.6 grams
It is 13.2 grams.
5 significant figures.
Molecules of ammonia? Will assume so. 4.2 X 1025 molecules NH3 (1 mole NH3/6.022 X 1023)(17.034 grams/1 mole NH3) = 1188 grams of ammonia ===================( could call it 1200 grams NH3 for significant figure correctness )
There are 3 significant figures in '4.50g'
