Answer: There are 5 significant figures in 10.006L

Explanation: Since there is a decimal point, all the digits after the decimal point also count as significant figures. Below is a key to help yu out:

Not Significant:

- Leading zeroes(in decimal): example- 0.0023= 2 sig figs

- Trailing zeroes with no decimal point: example- 2300= 2 sig figs

Significant:

- middle zeroes: example- 4003= 4 sig figs

-trailing zeroes with decimal point: example- 23.00= 4 sig figs
