Question

How many significant figures are in each of the following measurements? (c) 0.03003 kg (f) 3.8200 x 103 L (a) (d) 0.00450 m 35.0445 g (b) 59.0001 cm (e) 67,000 m2

Answer 1

Answer:

c =four significant figures = 3003

f = Four significant figures = 3820

d =(i) three significant figures = 450

d =(ii) Six significant figures  = 35.0445

b = significant figures = 59.0001

e = five significant figures = 67000

Explanation:

c = 0.03003 kg

four significant figures = 3003

f = 3.8200 × 10³ L

Four significant figures = 3820

d =(i) 0.00450 m and (ii) 35.0445 g

(i) three significant figures = 450

(ii) Six significant figures  = 35.0445

b = 59.0001 cm

six significant figures = 59.0001

e = 67000

five significant figures = 67000

The given measurement have five significant figures 41006. this measurement can be rounded to three significant figures i.e, 0.410 g.

All non-zero digits are consider significant figures like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.

Leading zeros are not consider as a significant figures. e.g. 0.03 in this number only one significant figure present which is 3.

Zero between the non zero digits are consider significant like 104 consist of three significant figures.

The zeros at the right side e.g 2400 are also significant. There are four significant figures are present.
