1.	5.74 g of a substance occupies 1.2cm^(3). Express its density by keeping the significant figures in view.
Answer» SOLUTION :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)`.
