Question

what is the difference between 5.0 and 5.00 gram ​

Answer 1

they are different 5.0 g

has two significant figures and hence its precision is 0.1 part in 5, i.e., 20 p.p.t. 5.00 has three significant figures and hence it precision is 0.01 parts in 5, i.e., 2 p.p.t. Hence, 5.00 g is more precise measurement than 5.0 g.

Answer 2

Answer:

through they look so be equavilent but scientifically they are different 5.0 gram has two significant figure and hence its precision is 0.1 part in 5, I.e., 20 p.p.t. 5.00 has three significant figure and hence its precision is 0.01 parts in 5,I.e., 2 p.p.t hence, 5.00g is more precision measurement that 5.0g
