Answer:

A) 3.6 cm

Explanation:

Accuracy comes down to how precisely you can read the length on a given scale. Here since the smallest increment is centimeter, we can go only one decimal beyond to estimate. This is because you can usually estimate to only one decimal place beyond the closest marks on any measuring.

So, the answer should be 3.6 cm.

Here's a document that explains it well: https://www.auburn.wednet.edu/cms/lib03/WA01001938/Centricity/Domain/1360/1_Uncertainty.pdf

Hope that's right!

Which best explains the difference between a ball-and-stick model of a chemical compound and a space-filling model?
Nikolay [14]
Scientists use models to show the characteristics of compounds. Of the different models,ball-and-stick model and space-filling model are commonly used but similar. Ball-and- stick model shows the bond between both atom and not the relative size of the atoms. Space-filling model shows the relative size of the atom and not the bond between the atoms. Both are 3-Dimensional and use color spheres within the model.

In the lewis structure of ch3oh, how many lone pairs of electrons are there? in the lewis structure of ch3oh, how many lone pair
Lunna [17]
The structure of Methanol (CH₃OH) is shown below. This structure contains 2 lone pair of electrons on oxygen (highlighted red). Electronic configuration of oxygen is,

                        Oxygen  =  8  =  1s², 2s², 2px², 2py¹, 2pz¹

There are six electrons in valence shell of oxygen, among these six electrons two electrons are unpaired and involved in forming covalent bond with hydrogen and carbon, while remaining 4 electrons in pair (i.e. 2s², 2px²) exists as lone pairs.

What is the final volume (l) of a 10.0 l system that has the pressure quartered?
mihalych1998 [28]
According to Boyle's Law, P1V1 = P2V2

where P1 and V1 are initial pressure and volume respectively. P2 and V2 are final pressure and volume receptively.

Given: P2 = 4 P1 and V1 = 10.0l

∴ V2 = 2.5 l

Answer: Final volume of system is 2.5 l
