The number is written in scientific notation.
The significant figures are the numbers known precisely plus 1 digit that is uncertain.
When the numbers are expressed in scientific notation all the digits before 10^n are significant.
So, 7 and 8 are significant figures and the answer is that the number of significant figures is 2.
Answer: 2
Answer: PV = nRT
A gas at STP... This means that the temperature is 0°C and pressure is 1 atm.
R is the gas constant which is 0.08206 L*atm/(K*mol)
Rearranging for volume
V = nRT/P
The temperature and number of moles are held constant. This means that this uses Boyle's Law. (The ideal gas law could be manipulated to give us this result when T and n are held constant.)
PV = k
where k is a constant.
This means that
P₁V₁ = k = P₂V₂
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂
(1 atm) * (1 L) = (2 atm) * V₂
V₂ = 0.5 L
The new volume of the gas is 0.5 L.

Answer:
50 g of S are needed
Explanation:
To star this, we begin from the reaction:
S(s) + O₂ (g) → SO₂ (g)
If we burn 1 mol of sulfur with 1 mol of oxygen, we can produce 1 mol of sulfur dioxide. In conclussion, ratio is 1:1.
According to stoichiometry, we can determine the moles of sulfur dioxide produced.
100 g. 1mol / 64.06g = 1.56 moles
This 1.56 moles were orginated by the same amount of S, according to stoichiometry.
Let's convert the moles to mass
1.56 mol . 32.06g / mol = 50 g
