This is BCE # 2. It is OK to use your textbook, but if you can answers the questions without it that is OK too. Lets see how well you understand significant figures and significant figures in calculations. Although we have not discussed conversions, lets try a few of those also.

Answer all of the questions below. If you do not know an answer enter CNA. However, it will help me the most if you answer each question with your best intuition/idea about what would be a reasonable answer.
