Chemistry => Measurements => Significant Figures
Significant figures correspond to the number of digits in a number. We have to take into account the following:
• Zeros at the beginning of a number or at the end are not counted as digits, but zeros in between the number should be counted.
,
• When we write a number in scientific notation, the 10 that accompanies the number should not be counted.
Following these indications, let's count the significant figures of each given number:
In summary, we have the answer will be:
1SFs
3.00 m
4.0x10^3 mL
3SFs
50 100 00g
80.10 mL
60.4 °C
6SFs
9018.17 kg
