The earth wouldn’t have an atmosphere
Given in the problem is the mass of the liquid (500 grams) and the volume of the liquid (1000 ml = 1000 cm^3).
We can use these two givens to calculate the density of the liquid using the following rule:
density = mass / volume
density = 500 / 1000 = 0.5 grams / cm^3
Comparing the calculated density with the choices we have, we can deduce that the liquid is most likely to be propane with density 0.494 g / cm^3
948 or 9.48 x 10^2
There are two sets of rules for significant figures
• One set for addition and subtraction
• Another set for multiplication and division
You used the set for multiplication and division.
This problem involves addition and subtraction, and the rule is
The number of places after the decimal point in the answer must be <em>no greater than the number of decimal places in every term</em> in the sum.
Thus, we have
78.9
+890.43
-21.
= 948.33
The "21" term has the fewest digits after the decimal point (none), so the answer must have no digits after the decimal point.
To the correct answer is 948 = 9.48 x 10^2. It has three significant figures.
