If a jet's cruising altitude is 32,200 ft (to three significant figures), this distance in km is 9.82 km.

<h3>What are significant figures?</h3>

Significant figures are the number of digits in a value, often a measurement, that contributes to the degree of accuracy of the value. We start counting significant figures at the first non-zero digit.

In this case, given the conversion factors from miles to kilometres and from miles to feet, we can directly compute the jet’s cruising altitude in kilometres as shown below:

32200 ft X \frac{1 mile}{5280 ft}  X \frac{1.61km}{1 mile}

=9.82 km

Describe some acidic oxides that can be prepared by thermal decomposition of nitrates and carbonates
azamat

When calcium carbonate is heated, it breaks down to form calcium oxide and carbon dioxide.

Thermal decomposition is the process in which heat is required.

It is also known as thermolysis.

It is processed in which a compound breaks into two or more products when the heat is supplied.

This reaction is used for the production of oxygen.

This reaction is also used for production of acidic as well as basic oxides.

CaCO3 on thermal decomposition gives:

CaCO3→CaO+CO2

CaO→ Basic oxide.

CO2→ Acidic oxide.
