TEXT ANSWER
When calculating the molecular mass of water, we need to add the atomic
weights of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Perform the following
calculation and round the answer to the correct number of significant figures.
Use the formula editor to show your work.
2(1.008 /mol) + 15.99 8/mol
NOTE: Recall that we only consider the number of significant figures given in
measured values. In this case, the 2 was not measured. Therefore we are only
interested in the significant figures of 1.008 %/mol and 15.99 %/mol.
