Solution Steps

Step 1: Multiply 7.808 cm by 3.5 cm

To multiply these two measurements, we need to consider the number of significant digits in each measurement. The number 7.808 has four significant digits, and 3.5 has two significant digits. The result should be reported with the lesser number of significant digits, which is two.

\[ 7.808 \times 3.5 = 27.328 \]

Rounding 27.328 to two significant digits gives us 27.

Step 2: Divide 960.93 mol by 0.48 L

For division, the result should have the same number of significant digits as the measurement with the fewest significant digits. Here, 960.93 has five significant digits, and 0.48 has two significant digits. Therefore, the result should have two significant digits.

\[ \frac{960.93}{0.48} = 2001.9375 \]

Rounding 2001.9375 to two significant digits gives us 2000.

Step 3: Multiply 0.934 g/mL by 3.125 mL

In this multiplication, 0.934 has three significant digits, and 3.125 has four significant digits. The result should be reported with three significant digits.

\[ 0.934 \times 3.125 = 2.91875 \]

Rounding 2.91875 to three significant digits gives us 2.92.

Final Answer

\[ \begin{aligned} 7.808 \mathrm{~cm} \times 3.5 \mathrm{~cm} & = \boxed{27 \mathrm{~cm}^2} \\ 960.93 \mathrm{~mol} \div 0.48 \mathrm{~L} & = \boxed{2000 \frac{\mathrm{mol}}{\mathrm{~L}}} \\ 0.934 \frac{\mathrm{~g}}{\mathrm{~mL}} \times 3.125 \mathrm{~mL} & = \boxed{2.92 \mathrm{~g}} \end{aligned} \]
