5.74 g of a substance occupies 1.2 cm^3....

5.74 g of a substance occupies `1.2 cm^3`. Express its density keeping significant figures in view.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Density = `("Mass")/("Volume")=(5.74)/(1.2)=4.783g//cm^(3)`
Here least significant figure is 2, so density = `4.8g//cm^(3)`
