2. You are weighing a solid on our analytical balances and are weighing by difference. Your initial mass is 58.2030 g and your final mass is 57.1823 g. The absolute uncertainty in both measurements, equal to the precision of the balance, is ± 0.0002 g. A correct way to state the mass weighed out and corresponding uncertainty is: a) 1.0207 ± 0.0004 g b) 1.0207 g ± 0.3% c) 1.0207 g d) 1.0207 ± 0.0003 g e) None of these
