This number has four significant figures.
three if somebody goes through the bother of putting extra zero after a decimal point then it must be because they are significant. 0.00030000000000000 has 14 significant figures 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000004 has only one significant figure
(7.6g LiBr)/(86.84g/mol) x (1molLi/1molBr) = .0875 mol Li or with sig figs, .088
The formula of magnesium carbonate is MgCO3. It therefore has one atom each of magnesium and carbon and 3 atoms of oxygen. The gram molecular weight is therefore 24.305 + 12.011 + 3(15.999) = 84.313. This answer to the problem is twice this value, 168.626 grams, if the number "two" is considered to be exact.
Three. All non-zero digits are significant, as are zeroes between them, and zeroes after a decimal point. The entire question about sigfigs is "what digits can you be confident are not rounded off?" The answer is three because you cannot prove that this is not rounded to the nearest hundred. You can only be sure that the three digits (405) are all correct and even the 5 might be rounded off. If it were 40500.0, then all six digits would be SigFigs because that is showing exactness. ■
3.41 → 3 to one sig fig
To one sig fig, 300 To two sig figs, 310 To three sig figs, 314
How do you round 0.009999991 to one sig fig?
The answer depends on how many significant figures. To one sig fig it is 20.
There is one sig fig
There is one sig fig in the number 1.
There is one sig fig in the number 4000.
To round 350 to one sig fig, you will round to the hundreds place. 350 rounds up to 400 which is one sig fig.
There is 1 sig fig.
two sig figs
Do nothing! .5 is a number to 1 sig fig.
34.872 rounded and chopped to 1 sig fig is 30. The previous answer 34.8 is wrong, 34.8 is 34.872 chopped to 3 sig figs.Any digit in a number that is not zero is classed as a significant figure e.g. your number above has 5 sig figs but if it was 30.072 it would only have 3 sig figs: 3, 7 and 2. When someone asks something to be taken to n sig figs they mean the first n significant figures of the number i.e. 103.42 to 2 sig figs would be 103, not 100.Also, incase you don't know what I mean when i used the terms rounded and chopped above, rounding is when you round the number either up or down to the nearest sig fig so your number rounded to 2 sig figs would be 35. Chopping however is when you take however sig figs you need and chop the rest of regardless of how close the n+1th digit is to a higher sig fig. e.g. 34.372 is 34 chopped to 2 s.f. but 34.872 is also 34 chopped to 2 s.f. in fact if a number is virtually the same as a higher number it will get chopped to a lower one e.g. 34.999999999999999 chopped to 2 s.f. is 34, not 35!
