2.524 g (5.1 × 106 g) ÷ (6.85 × 103 g) = ? How many significant figures should the result have?

2 answers:

6 0

The correct answer is Three. Solving the given expression we get,

2.524 g (5.1 × 106 g) ÷ (6.85 × 103 g) = 1364.47÷ (6.85 × 103 g) = 1364.47÷ 705.55 = 1.93
Here, the number of significant figures is three. Thus, the result should have three <span>significant figures.</span>

<u>Explanation:</u>

To solve the equation, we will first multiply the numerator and denominator separately and then divide it, to attain the final result.

The equation given is:

$2.524g(5.1\times 106g)\div (6.85\times 103g)=1364.4744g^2\div 705.55g\\\\\Rightarrow 1.933\approx 1.9$

Whenever multiplication and division are involved, the answer must not contain, more number of significant figures as there are in the least precise term.

Of all the given terms, the least precise number has 2 significant numbers. Therefore, the answer would have 2 significant figures and the final answer will be 1.9

Two stones resembling diamonds are suspected of being fakes. To determine if the stones might be real, the mass and volume of ea

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

Stone A

Explanation:

Measuring density is an easiest way to determine if two similar looking substances are same or not. Here also we need to perform the density test for each stone that is suspected to be fake diamond. We will calculate the density of each stone and compare it with the density of original diamond.

Density is calculated using the formula

$Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}$

It has been given in the question that both the substances have same volume of 0.15 $cm^3$ .

Density of stone A = $\frac{0.52}{0.15}$ = 3.47 $gcm^-^3$ or after rounding off we get 3.5 $gcm^-^3$

Density of stone B = $\frac{0.42}{0.15}$ = 2.8 $gcm^-^3$

It is clear from the above calculation that the stone A has same density as the diamond but stone B lacks behind in density.

So, stone A could be the real diamond.

If the mass of 293nv is 293.10 amu and that of 295nv is 295.45 amu , what is the atomic weight of nv?

ycow [4]

Answer;

294.13 amu

Solution;

-293nv is 293.10 amu and that of 295nv is 295.45 amu

293.05+295.2=588.25

588.25/2= 294.13 amu

an amu of 294.13 using significant figures

Could ethanol vapor collect in low spots?

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Denatured ethanol fuel is a polar solvent, which is soluble in water. A

Polar solvent is a compound with a charge separation in chemical bonds, such as alcohol, most acids, or ammonia. These have affinity with water and will dissolve easily. Denatured fuel ethanol has a flash point of -5 ° F and a vapor density of 1.5, indicating that it is heavier than air.

Consequently, ethanol vapors do not rise, similar to the gasoline vapors they are looking for lower altitudes. The specific gravity of denatured fuel ethanol is 0.79, which indicates that it is lighter than water and has a self-ignition temperature of 709 ° F and a boiling point of 165-175 ° F. Like gasoline, the most denatured fuel, the greatest danger of ethanol as an engine fuel component is its flammability.

It has a wider flammable range than gasoline (LEL is 3% and UEL is 19%).
