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

Density `=("mass")/("volume")`
`=(5.74)/(1.2)`
`=4.87333`
Here measurement has two significant digit rounding off to two significant digit density `=4.8 cm^(-3)`
