<h2>5060 have three significant figures : Explanation given below </h2>

Explanation:

Significant figures

The significant figures (also known as the significant digits and decimal places) of a number are digits that possess certain  meaning .

It  includes all digits except: zeros

Rules to find significant figures

1.All non-zero digits are considered significant. For example, 23  has two significant figures.

2.Zeros in between two non-zero digits are significant: like in 202.1201  has seven significant figures.

3.Zeros to the left of the significant figures are not significant. For example, .000021 has two significant figures, zeros have no value .

4.Zeros to the right of the significant figures are significant.

That is the reason in number 5060 , it has 3 significant figures .

A mixture of methane and carbon dioxide gases contains methane at a partial pressure of 431 mm Hg and carbon dioxide at a
KatRina [158]

Answer:

XCH₄ = 0.461

XCO₂ = 0.539

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Partial pressure of methane (pCH₄): 431 mmHg
  • Partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO₂): 504 mmHg

Step 2: Calculate the total pressure in the container

We will sum both partial pressures.

P = pCH₄ + pCO₂

P = 431 mmHg + 504 mmHg = 935 mmHg

Step 3: Calculate the mole fraction of each gas

We will use the following expression.

Xi = pi / P

XCH₄ = pCH₄/P = 431 mmHg/935 mmHg = 0.461

XCO₂ = pCO₂/P = 504 mmHg/935 mmHg = 0.539

What compound was formed by the reaction of the first oxygen released by cyanobacteria and iron?
castortr0y [4]
The compound that was formed by the reaction of the first oxygen released by Cyanobacteria and iron are the metals of the earths crust. Cyanobacteria was the first organisms that used water instead of hydrogen sulfide or other compounds as a source of electrons and hydrogen for fixing carbon dioxide. Early Cyanobacteria inhabited marine sediments where Archean banded iron formations were deposited; consisting of reddish layers rich in iron oxide.
