Respuesta :
The mass of one atom of carbon in the correct number of significant figures is 1.99×10-²³. There are four significant figures each in both the atomic mass of carbon (12.01 g) and Avogadro's number, so the answer must also have 4 significant figures.
In the division of digits with significant numbers, the weakest link is always the limiter. In other words, the least number of significant digits is always followed. Both of the digits contain 4 significant digits, so the final answer should also contain 4 significant digits. The operation is shown below:
12.01 / (6.022x10^23) = 1.994x10^-23
12.01 / (6.022x10^23) = 1.994x10^-23
