Convert 1.7 g to cg. Make sure answer has the correct number of significant figures.

To convert 1.7 grams (g) to centigrams (cg), we use the conversion factor \(1 \text{ g} = 100 \text{ cg}\).

\[
1.7 \text{ g} \times 100 \text{ cg/g} = 170 \text{ cg}
\]

Since the original number, 1.7 g, has **two significant figures**, the answer should also have two significant figures.

Thus, the final answer is:

\[
1.7 \text{ g} = 1.7 \times 10^2 \text{ cg} = \mathbf{1.7 \times 10^2 \text{ cg}}
\]
