Hess's law: Sig Figs

Postby Orly Termeie 3I » Tue Jan 12, 2016 12:58 am

For Hess's law questions how would we determine the number of sig figs? Would it depend on the decimal point placement?

I would assume that because the operation you are using is addition, you would base your number of sigfigs on the decimal placement
