Divide 12.936 by 3.2 using the correct number of significant digits.A. 4.0425 B. 4.043 C. 4.0 D. 4.04 |
Answer» ☯ ANSWER :As, we have to find the Division of 12.936 and 3.2, USING significant digits. So, ★ Number of significant digits in 12.936 = 5 ★ Number of significant digits in 3.2 = 2 Now, we will calculate their product. → Division = 4.0425 So, option A is correct. ★ Additional Information :☯ Uncertaininty in measurmentWhen true value is not equal to experimemtal calculations then there os uncertainty in measurment. ↪ For example 2G of Molecules = 602,200,000,000,000,000,000,000 But if we WRITE (602,200,000,000,000,000,000,000) as 6.022 × 10²² then our uncertainty in measurement can reduce. Now, Mass of H atom. 0.00000000000000000000000166 But if we write (0.00000000000000000000000166) as 6.61 → Meaningful to present the data, realisitiolly accurating with uncertainity. ★ There are three ways to reduce the uncertainty in measurement. (i) Scientific Notation (ii) Significant figures (iii)Dimensional analysis |
