Because density expressed in two significant figures depends on your accuracy of your measurements of mass and volume to calculate as well as any variables that you are expected to use.
460. (the period/decimal point is necessary; otherwise 460 would be considered two significant figures)
42 has two significant figures.
If you know the density of mercury, you can determine the mass of a specific volume of mercury. Mercury has a density of 13.534g/cm3. 1cm3 = 1mL, so we can restate its density as 13.534g/mL. Density = mass/volume. If we know any two variables, we can manipulate the density equation to find the third variable. In this case, we know volume and density, so to find the mass, do the following calculation: Mass = density x volume Mass Hg = 13.534g/mL x 136mL = 1.84g Hg* *The answer is limited to 3 significant figures, because 136mL has only 3 significant figures, even though the density has 5 significant figures. When multiplying or dividing, the answer is limited to the same number of significant figures as the measurement with the fewest significant figures used in the calculation.
Rounded to two significant figures it becomes 1.0e4
Rounded to two significant figures it becomes 3.6
It is not always expressed in 2 sig figs. The number of sig figs depends on the accuracy of your measurements of mass and volume to calculate the density as well as any variables that you are expected to use the density with. There is no point in having a density expressed to 15 significant figures if then you are going to multiply it by volume expressed to 1 sig fig to determine the mass.
It is: 62 kg
Four. When the decimal point is expressed, trailing zeros are significant.
460. (the period/decimal point is necessary; otherwise 460 would be considered two significant figures)
There are two significant figures which are the two 2s.
There are 4 significant figures in 0.0032. Seems to be only 2 significant figures in this number.
22.1 to two significant figures = 22
23.81558 to two significant figures is 24.
42 has two significant figures.
Two significant figures.
