You need to measure the density of a rectangular-shaped metal block (density=mass/volume). You measure the mass using an electronic balance accurate to 1 g, and find the mass to be 132 g. You measure the three sides using a millimeter rule and find the sides to be 23.1 cm by 4.2 cm by 0.4 cm. From this you calculate the volume as 38.81cm and the density to be 3.401 g/cm³ (note: this is what your calculator shows-the numbers are not necessarily rounded to the correct place.) How many significant figures should your final answer is rounded to? А. 1 В. 2 С.3 D. 4

The density of ordinary air is 1.19 g/L. What is the mass, in kilograms, of the airin a room that measures 14.5 ft x 16.5 ft x 8.0 ft?(Hint: Density is defined as d= m/v, so you need to find the volume of the roomand solve for the mass in the density equation. Make sure you do the appropriateconversions to carry out your operations. Use the correct number of significantfigures to express your answer).
