1.	A liquid weighing 86.44 g occupies a volume of 76.3 mL. Calculate the density of the liquid to the proper number of significant figures.
Answer» Solution :Density = `("MASS")/("VOLUME")` `=(86.44 G)/(76.3 ML)` `=1.1328964 g//mL` =1.13 g/mL (after rounding off) In this calculation, the least precise number has only three SIGNIFICANT figures. Therefore, the result is also reported upto three significant figures.
