Answer :  The answer will be, 5.2 g

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.

The rule apply for the addition and subtraction is :

The least precise number present after the decimal point determines the number of significant figures in the answer.

As we are given that the sum of 2.7 g and 2.47 g.

2.7g+2.47g

\Rightarrow 5.17g

In the given expression, 2.7 has 2 significant figures and 2.47 has 2 significant figures. From this we conclude that least precise number present after the decimal point is 1.

Thus, the answer will be \Rightarrow 5.2g

In order to get the sum of 2.7 and 2.47, we will add both numbers. So, 2.7 plus 2.47 would be 5.17. And the correct number of significant digits in this number is still the same, 5.17, so we have three significant numbers. Why? There are three rules in identifying the significant figures: 1. Non zeros are always significant (which this applies in our sum above). 2. Any zeros in between significant numbers are always significant. 3. <span> The final zero or zeros in the decimal portion only are significant.</span>

why is it essential to know the water temperature in this experiment- to find the vapor pressure of the water
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

Vapour pressure of a liquid varies with temperature

Explanation:

The vapour pressure of any liquid is directly proportional to the temperature of the liquid. This implies that, as the temperature of the liquid increases, the vapour pressure increases likewise and vice versa.

Since the vapour pressure of liquid varies with the temperature of the liquid, it is essential to know the water temperature in the experiment to determine the vapour pressure of water.
