43.278 kg - 28.1 g use significant figures rule

1 answer:

3 0

You cannot directly subtract the given values because their units are different. To be consistent, let's convert kilograms to grams with the conversion that 1,000 g = 1 kg.

43.278 kg(1,000 g/1 kg) - 28.1 g = 43249.9 grams

In subtraction, you will base the number of significant figures to the least of the given data. Since 28.1 has 3 significant figures, the answer should also contain 3 significant figures. Thus, it is much more convenient to report it in terms of kilograms.

43249.9 grams * 1 kg/ 1,000 g = 43.2 kg

The density of gold is 19.3 g/cm^3. what is the mass of 24 cm^3 of gold?

maw [93]

Mass = Density * Volume

Density = 19.3 g/cm³

Volume = 24 cm³

Mass = Density * Volume = 19.3 g/cm³ * 24 cm³ = 463.2 g

Mass = 463.2 g

What would the final volume of 40 L of gas at 80 pascals be if the pressure increases to 130 pascals?

melomori [17]

Answer:

Final volume, V2 = 24.62 L

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial volume = 40 L

Initial pressure = 80 Pa

Final pressure = 130 Pa

To find the final volume V2, we would use Boyles' law.

Boyles states that when the temperature of an ideal gas is kept constant, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume occupied by the gas.

Mathematically, Boyles law is given by;

$PV = K$
