SI units for exam

[Katherine Chhen 3I]

Are we required to put the correct number of significant figures for the exam to get full credit?

Yes. I heard that he will take points off if you don't get the sig figs correct.

Professor Lavelle has a link to this page on his website that is all about sig figs and how to use them and I found that really helpful rather than having to look online and trying to remember everything.

Definitely use sig figs. When you do use sig figs on his tests, make sure to only apply it on the final answer instead of the values obtained throughout the problem.

[Pablo 1K]

Yes, and it varies how many you use, typically the same amount as of a given amount of some substance. EX: 100 g of CAC2 (problem continues on), the sig figs here would be 3 due to the (100).

[Kassidy Ford 1I]

To elaborate on the above comment, usually you round sig figs to the least amount of sig figs given in the problem. This is to make the answer as accurate as possible.

Thanks for all the information everyone! Also I think this is the link for the SI info that was mentioned earlier:
