The mass of 1.2 cm^(3)of a certain sub- stance is 5.74g. caleulate its density with due regard to significant figures.

Answer»

SOLUTION :Mass m =5.74 g, volume v, = 1.2 `cm^(3)`
density d=`(m)/(v)= (5.74g)/(1.2cm^(3))`
5.74 has significant DIGITS and 1.2 has two significant digits . No need for rounding off.
`:. D = (5.74)/(1.2)= 4.783333.`
This is to be rounded off to two significant digits . The density of the GIVEN SUBSTANCE is 4.783 = `4.8 g cm^(-3)`
