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:
4.5 kilograms of silicon dioxide is required to produce 3.00 kg of SiC.
Explanation:
The balanced equation for the reaction between silicon dioxide and carbon at high temperature is given as:

1 mole silicon dioxide reacts with 3 moles of carbon to give 1 moles of silicon carbide and 2 moles of carbon monoxide.
Mass of SiC = 3.00kg = 3000.00 g
1 kg = 1000 g
Molecular mass of SiC = 40 g/mol
Moles of SiC = 
According to reaction, 1 mole of SiC is produced from 1 mole of silicon dioxide.
Then 75 moles of SiC will be produce from:
of silicon dioxide.
mass of 75 moles of silicon dioxde:

4.5 kilograms of silicon dioxide is required to produce 3.00 kg of SiC.
