Energy can accomplish work
Hello! I can help you with this. First, convert them into it’s written out standard form. 10^4 is 10,000. 10,00 * 1.26 is 12,600. 10,000 * 2.5 is 25,000. 12,600 + 25,000 = 37,600 or 3.76 * 10^4 in scientific notation. The answer in scientific notation is 3.76 * 10^4.
Answer:
a. 3.72 [atm]
Explanation:
For a gas at constant temperature, (with no change in number of molecules of the gas), we can apply Boyle's Law: 
![(1.556[atm])(268.5[mL])=P_2(112.4[mL])](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%281.556%5Batm%5D%29%28268.5%5BmL%5D%29%3DP_2%28112.4%5BmL%5D%29)
![\dfrac{(1.556[atm])(268.5[mL\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!{--}])}{112.4[mL \!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!{--}]}=\dfrac{P_2(112.4[mL]\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!{-----})}{112.4[mL]\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!{-----}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdfrac%7B%281.556%5Batm%5D%29%28268.5%5BmL%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%7B--%7D%5D%29%7D%7B112.4%5BmL%20%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%7B--%7D%5D%7D%3D%5Cdfrac%7BP_2%28112.4%5BmL%5D%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%7B-----%7D%29%7D%7B112.4%5BmL%5D%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%5C%21%7B-----%7D%7D)
![3.716957[atm]=P_2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=3.716957%5Batm%5D%3DP_2)
It seems like the answer should have 4 significant figures since all of the other quantities have 4 significant figures, but the closest answer choice of those provided is a. 3.72
oxygen is in gaseous state at this temperature
