What is the difference between 4.0 and 4.00 g? Which one is more precise?

Answer»

The two values seem to be equivalent but scientifically they are different, 4.0 g has two significant figures and hence, its precision is 0.1 part in 4. 4.00 g has three significant figures and hence, its precision is 0.01 parts in 4. Hence, 4.00 g is more precise than 4.0 g.
