This is a lesson in significant figures and the importance of knowing what those significant figures represent. To measure out 1.0 grams of a substance, you need to weigh out between 1.05 and 1.14 grams of the substance. This is much more precise than weighing out 1 gram of a substance, which could be anything from 0.50 to 1.49 grams. The addition of the zero after the decimal point makes the measurement much more precise.
