I'm so sorry to bother you today, I hope all is well. I do have
a question concerning significant figures for the virtual lab.
On the data sheet you provided, the initial volume has 2 sig
figs. Is this what we should use? </div>

<p>Since you know exactly what the values are to the left of the
decimal point, you may assume that all of your readings have FOUR
SIG FIGS assuming that you read the buret correctly to two places
to the right of the decimal.</p>
<p>Your calculated molarities should have 4 sig figs.</p>
