(158lb)2 = 158 lb * 158 lb 
This gives us 24964 lb^2 
To solve the solution to 3sf we obtain 25000 lb^2. 
Hence 25000 to 3sf

Answer: 2.50 × 10⁴


Justification:


1) The expression is: (158 lbs)²


2) When two amounts are multiplied, the product must be shown with the same number of significant figures of that of the factor with the least number of significant figures.


3) So you have to muliply 158 by itself (square) and then round to 3 significant figures.


4) The number 158 has 3 significan figures, so the product shall show also 3 significant figures:


(158 lb)² = 158 lb × 158 lb = 24,964 lb², which must be rounded to 3 significant figures: 25,000.


Since, the fourth figure was greater than 5, the third signficant figure must be increased. Since the third signficant figure is 9, the increase is translated to the second significant figure.


5) Now, to indicate tha the number of significan figures is 3, you have to use scientific notation:


25,000 = 2.50 × 10³, where the 3 signficant figures are 2, 5, and 0.

Calculate the unit cell edge length for an 78 wt% Ag- 22 wt% Pd alloy. All of the palladium is in solid solution, and the crysta
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

The unit cell edge length for the alloy is 0.405 nm

Explanation:

Given;

concentration of Ag, C_{Ag} = 78 wt%

concentration of Pd, C_P_d = 22 wt%

density of Ag = 10.49 g/cm³

density of Pd = 12.02 g/cm³

atomic weight of Ag, A_A_g = 107.87 g/mol

atomic weight of iron, A_P_d = 106.4 g/mol

Step 1: determine the average density of the alloy

\rho _{Avg.} = \frac{100}{\frac{C_A_g}{\rho _A_g} + \frac{C__{Pd}}{\rho _{Pd}} }

\rho _{Avg.} = \frac{100}{\frac{78}{10.49} + \frac{22}{12.02} } = 10.79 \ g/cm^3

Step 2: determine the average atomic weight of the alloy

A _{Avg.} = \frac{100}{\frac{C_v}{A _A_g} + \frac{C__{Pd}}{A _{Pd}} }

A _{Avg.} = \frac{100}{\frac{78}{107.87} + \frac{22}{106.4} } = 107.54 \ g/mole

Step 3: determine unit cell volume

V_c=\frac{nA_{avg.}}{\rho _{avg.} N_a}

for a FCC crystal structure, there are 4 atoms per unit cell; n = 4

V_c=\frac{4*107.54}{ 10.79*6.022*10^{23}} = 6.620*10^{-23} \ cm^3/cell

Step 4: determine the unit cell edge length

Vc = a³

a = V_c{^\frac{1}{3} }\\\\a = (6.620*10^{-23}}){^\frac{1}{3}}\\\\a = 4.05 *10^{-8} \ cm= 0.405 nm

Therefore, the unit cell edge length for the alloy is 0.405 nm

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

A.  Herbivores have longer digestive systems than carnivores have.

Explanation:

We can conclude that the herbivores have longer digestive systems compared to carnivores.

Carnivores feeds on other animals whereas herbivores eats plants.

  • Most herbivores have a four stomach compartment system that helps them process and digest their food.
  • This is because they have to process cellulose in plants which needs to be properly broken down.
  • Flesh eating carnivores do not require this arrangement.
  • The four stomach compartment of most herbivores includes Rumen, Reticulum, omasum and abomasum.
  • They also chew the cud whereby they regurgitate food materials.
