Answer:
The mass will be recorded upto 5 significant figures.
Step-by-step explanation:
Significant figures : The figures in a number which express the value -the magnitude of a quantity to a specific degree of accuracy is known as significant digits.
Mass of the object = 5 g = 5000 mg
1 gram = 1000 milligrams
Accuracy of the analytical weighing balance = 0.1 mg
So, the mass of the object when placed on analytical weighing balance = 5000.0 mg
Number of significant figures in 5000.0 = 5 significant figures
(All zero’s after the decimal point are always significant)
The mass will be recorded upto 5 significant figures.
