Answer:

0.060 g

Explanation:

Hydrogen gas is made up of 2 atoms of hydrogen [tex]H_2(g)[/tex].

From the formula for calculating mole:

mole = mass/molar mass

Molar mass of hydrogen gas = 2.016 g/mol

Hence, 0.030 mole hydrogen gas would weigh:

mass = molar mass x mole

              =  2.016 x 0.030

                = 0.06048 g

The mass of hydrogen gas that participated to the correct number of significant digits is, therefore, 0.060 g
