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

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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

There are 3 significant figures in the measured mass whereas there are only 2 significant figures in the measured volume. Hence the density should be expressed to only 2 significant figures.
Density =` (5.74)/(1.2) gcm^(-3)`
`=4.8 g cm^(-3)`.
