Answer:

It is related to certain common meanings.

Explanation:

The word diffusion comes from the Latin diffusio (wide, dilated, scattered, something that is not appreciated correctly). The term diffusion is related to its Latin word because it is used to refer to the idea that something is scattered, scattered or spread. For example, the word diffusion is used to refer to the idea of the dissemination of news, culture or knowledge.

Have a nice day!

it means basically the same thing but can be used in different context. like if someone says, "lets diffuse the situation." it means lets separate it and find out what's going on with it. Like if you don't understand a sentence when you were younger your teacher would tell you to break down the sentence, and try to use context clues. What you are doing is diffusing the sentence so that your not looking at it as one big confusing sentence, your "breaking it down" and that helps you a lot. I hope I helped you, if not let me know and I can diffuse the topic a little more to make it more approachable and easy to understand. :)

Round off the following number to 3 digits 34,560​
Vikki [24]

Answer:

3.46x10⁴

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we can see that the number 34,560 has five significant figures, it means that if we want to write it with three, we must take the 3, 4 and 5 only. Nevertheless, since the 6 after the five is greater than 5, we can round such five to 6, so we obtain:

346

However, the decimal places cannot get lost, therefore, we move the given thousand  to the three, so the number turns out:

3.46x10⁴

Best regards.

How many atoms are there in 8.88 g Si?
Mariana [72]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 1.90 \times 10^{23} \ atoms \ Si}}

Explanation:

We are asked to find how many atoms are in 8.88 grams of silicon.

<h3>1. Grams to Moles </h3>

First, we convert grams to moles. We use the molar mass or the mass of 1 mole of a substance. These values are found on the Periodic Table as they are equal to the atomic masses, but the units are grams per mole instead of atomic mass units.

Look up silicon's molar mass.

  • Si:  28.085 g/mol

We will convert using dimensional analysis. Set up a conversion factor with the molar mass.

\frac { 28.085 \ g \  Si}{1 \ mol \ Si}

We are converting 8.88 grams of silicon to moles, so we multiply by this value.

8.88 \ g \ Si *\frac { 28.085 \ g \  Si}{1 \ mol \ Si}

Flip the fraction so the units of grams of silicon cancel.

8.88 \ g \ Si *\frac{1 \ mol \ Si} { 28.085 \ g \  Si}

8.88  *\frac{1 \ mol \ Si} { 28.085 }

\frac {8.88} { 28.085 } \ mol \ Si

0.316183015845 \ mol \ Si

<h3>2. Moles to Atoms </h3>

Next, we convert moles to atoms. We use Avogadro's Number or 6.022 × 10²³. This is the number of particles (atoms, molecules, formula units, etc.) in 1 mole of a substance. In this case, the particles are atoms of silicon.

Set up another conversion factor.

\frac {6.022 \times 10^{23} \ atoms \ Si}{1 \ mol \ Si}

Multiply by the number of moles we calculated.

0.316183015845\ mol \ Si *\frac {6.022 \times 10^{23} \ atoms \ Si}{1 \ mol \ Si}

The units of moles of silicon cancel.

0.316183015845 * \frac {6.022 \times 10^{23} \ atoms \ Si}{1}

0.316183015845 * {{6.022 \times 10^{23} \ atoms \ Si}

1.90405412 \times 10^{23} \ atoms \ Si

<h3>3. Significant Figures</h3>

The original measurement of 8.88 grams has 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same.

For the number we calculated, that is the hundredth place. The 4 in the thousandth place tells us to leave the 0 in the hundredth place.

1.90 \times 10^{23} \ atoms \ Si

<u>8.88 grams of silicon contains 1.90 ×10²³ atoms of silicon.</u>
