Why does 4.03/0.0000035 = 1.2 x 106, instead of a different number of significant figures?

Chemistry

jasenka [17]2 years ago
4 0

Explanations:- As per the significant figures rule, In multiplication and division, we go with least number of sig figs.

4.03 has three sig figs where as 0.0000035 has two sig figs only, The zeros in this number are not sig figs as they are just holding the place values. As the least number of sig figs here is two, the answer needs to be reported with two sig figs only.

\frac{4.03}{0.0000035}=1.2*10^6

3 ways of improving the quality of an indigenous soap
Monica [59]

Answer : Below are three ways described in brief for improving the quality of indigenous soap.

1) Add virgin coconut oil which serves as a softener and betel leaf extract. It is used to improve the quality of soap as an antimicrobial agent.

2) Add activated charcoal black granules or powder to the soap, it removes maximum dirt from the skin.

3) Adding a filler which will increase the shelf life of usage of the soap will also improve its quality.

Match the following names of glassware with what you would use them for.(1) Glassware used to accurately transfer small volumes.
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

(1)=(A), (2)=(B), (3)=D, (4)=C, (5)=E, (6)=F

Explanation:

(1) Glassware used to accurately transfer small volumes = (A) Graduated pipette, that is basically a glass tube with graduation of different volumes to be dispensed.

(2) Glassware used to accurately transfer a small, single volume = (B) Volumetric pipette, that is a glass tube with a central glass bulb and is used to dispense accurately an unique volume of liquid everytime.

(3) Glassware to deliver a volume not known in advance = (D) Buret (or burette), that is used to dispense slowly a volume of liquid when a titration process is needed

(4) Glassware best used when greater access to the contents is needed = (C) Beaker, that is basically a very open glass cylinder with a spout

(5) Glassware used to prevent splashing or evaporation = (E) Erlenmeyer flask, that has a small open at the top and is useful when the liquid needs to be swirled as, for example, during a titration.

(6) Glassware used to make accurate solutions = (F) Volumetric flask, that has a long slim neck that provides a higher accuracy when a exact volume of liquid needs to be used for preparation of a solution.

A sample taken from a layer of mica in a canyon has 2.10 grams of potassium-40. A test reveals it to be 2.6 billion years old. H
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

\boxed{ \text{8.40 g}} 

Explanation:

The half-life of K-40 (1.3 billion years) is the time it takes for half of it to decay.  

After one half-life, half (50 %) of the original amount will remain.  

After a second half-life, half of that amount (25 %) will remain, and so on.  

We can construct a table as follows:  

 No. of                                 Fraction

<u>half-lives</u>      <u>    t/yr      </u>       <u>Remaining</u>  

      0               0                          1

      1                1.3  billion              ½

      2              2.6                          ¼

      3              3.9                          ⅛

We see that after 2 half-lives, ¼ of the original mass remains.

Conversely, if two half-lives have passed, the original mass must have been four times the mass we have now.

Original  mass = 4 × 2.10 g = \boxed{ \text{8.40 g}}
