The mass of 1.2 `cm^3` of a certain substance is 5.74g. Calculate its density with due regard to significant figures.

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)`.
