Re: Sapling Week 1 #8
Molecular mass deals with the sum of the amount of atoms in each element. if there are 8 Hydrogens then you want to multiply the mass of hydrogen by 8 since you have 8 Hydrogen atoms. You do this with all the other elements and at the end you add it all up to get your molecular mass.

Re: Which number determines sig figs of the answer?
Adding and subtracting have the same rule, after getting your answer you want to use the significant figure of the number that has the least set of numbers after the decimal. When you are multiplying or dividing you want to use the number with the least amount of significant figures.
