(a)
Interpretation:
The value 58.703 g needs to be round off up to three significant figures.
Concept Introduction:
The following rules needs to be followed to determine the correct number of significant figures in a given number:
- All non-zero digits are significant.
- Trailing zeros after decimal are significant.
- All zeros in between two non-zero or significant figures are significant.
Rules for rounding off numbers are as follows:
- If the digit to be rounded off is followed by digit greater than 5, the number will be rounded up.
- If the digit to be rounded off is followed by digit zero or less than 5, the number will be rounded down.
- If the digit to be rounded off is followed by digit 5 and it is even, then it will remain the same, but if the digit is odd, it will be rounded up to get an even number.
For example: Rounding off number 38, the first digit is followed by digit 8 which is greater than 5 thus; the number will be rounded up to the nearest ten that is 40.
For example: Rounding off number 33, the first digit is followed by digit 3 which is less than 5 thus; the number will be rounded down to the nearest ten that is 30.

- Which one? Ca2^- Na2^+ Si2^+ Mg2^- AI2^-arrow_forwardIn general, which is more polar, the stationary phase or the mobile phase? The stationary phase is always more polar The mobile phase is always more polar It depends on our choices for both stationary and mobile phase Their polarity doesn't really matter so we never consider itarrow_forwardPlease helparrow_forward
