The mass of a sample weighed on an electronic balance that is sensitive to 0.3 mg is 1.2300 g. the number of significant figures in this measurement is

The sensitivity of electronic balance is 0.3 mg

Converting 0.3 mg to g:

g

So, the mass of a substance weighed on the balance can be measured accurately up to four decimal places.

Given the mass of sample is 1.2300 g. The number of significant figures in the measurement will be 5 because the balance can measure the mass of a sample accurately up to four decimal points, all the digits in the measurement will be significant.

the ozone layer acts as a filter for the shorter wavelength and highly hazardous ultraviolet radiation (uvr) from the sun, protecting life on earth from its potentially harmful effects. when the sky is clear, there is an inverse relationship between stratospheric ozone and solar uvr measured at the earth's surface.

in chemistry, adhesion and cohesion are attractive forces that exist between molecules. they hold the molecules together from each other. they are different in that adhesive force exists between molecules of different substance while cohesive force happens between molecules of same substance.

adhesion between water and glass causes water molecules at the edge of water and glass interface to climb up the wall in a narrow glass tube. this is called capillary action. cohesion is what gives glass its shape and causes water to form a droplet.
