Because the mass of the flask with water exceeds the amount that can be weighed on the digital balances, the triple-beam-balance is used, which only weighs to the nearest 0.01 g. Why doesn't using this balance affect the number of significant digits to which the experimental molecular weight of carbon dioxide can be reported

Answer:

The Less accuracy of this method is the reason for this balance affecting the number of significant digits to which the experimental molecular weight of carbon dioxide can be reported.

Explanation:

As we know the triple-beam-balance method is a less accurate method of measurement of mass.

An accurate molecular weight is not required in this case. So, this method is being used because much accuracy is not required.

That is why this balance affects the number of significant digits to which the experimental molecular weight of carbon dioxide can be reported.
