How many sig figs are in the measurement 0.0034 kg?
One of the rules of significant figures is that leading zeros are not significant; therefore, 0.00034 will only have TWO significant figures (3 and 4).
How does the precision of a calculated answer compare to the precision of the measurements use to obtain it?
the precision of the answer must have the same number of significant digits as the measurement with the least significant digits- the site explains the rules and how to identify significant digits
What are the rules for significant figures in addition?
The rules of significant figures are as follows;1) Significant figures are the first digit in the number that isn't a '0'. Doesn't matter how far behind or in front of the decimal point it is.1st Significant figure of 5098 is 5000. The first number that isn't a '0'.When you get onto the 2nd is when it gets confusing. After the first significant figure, any number which comes after it is a significant figure regardless of whether it is a Zero.Thus the second significant figure of 5098, is 5000 too.And the third? Well, it's the third number in.So the third is 5090.In addition, you add significant figures like any other number. Due to the fact that it is rounded off, however, it will not be exact.
Are zeros significant or not?
Zeros can be significant or not, depending on their position in a number. Leading zeros (those before the first non-zero digit) are not significant, while trailing zeros in a decimal number are significant. For whole numbers, trailing zeros may or may not be considered significant depending on whether a decimal point is present. It's important to follow the rules of significant figures to determine their significance in a given context.
