**Addition**

*Express all answers in the correct significant figures – be sure to include units.*

0.01574 L + 0.00631 L =

**Instruction for Calculation:**

1. Add the two numbers: \(0.01574 \, \text{L} + 0.00631 \, \text{L} = 0.02205 \, \text{L}\)
2. Determine the number of significant figures:
   - The number with the least decimal places is 0.00631 L with five significant figures.
3. Adjust the answer to reflect the correct number of significant figures: \(0.02205 \, \text{L}\) (as all decimal places are significant here).
