948 or 9.48 x 10^2

There are two sets of rules for significant figures

• One set for addition and subtraction

• Another set for multiplication and division

You used the set for multiplication and division.

This problem involves addition and subtraction, and the rule is

The number of places after the decimal point in the answer must be <em>no greater than the number of decimal places in every term</em> in the sum.

Thus, we have

78.9

+890.43

-21.

= 948.33

The "21" term has the fewest digits after the decimal point (none), so the answer must have no digits after the decimal point.

To the correct answer is 948 = 9.48 x 10^2. It has three significant figures.

How can you distinguish between a solution, colloid, and suspension?
RSB [31]

Answer:

solution is clear solution while colloidal is between the solution and suspension. And in suspension particles are suspended.

Explanation:

In solution light can be passed without any scattering of light from solute particles while suspension is cloudy and having larger particle size than colloids, if suspension stands for a while particles will settle down easily.

In colloids light  will scattered and dispersed by reflecting with large particles.

What is the temperature of a water body containing a 90% saturation and 11.5 ppm of dissolved oxygen?
ozzi
Using the chart that has been provided, we may determine water temperature. We do this by drawing a straight line form the bottom scale which has the ppm of oxygen dissolved to the middle scale which has the percentage saturation.

The line starts from 11.5 ppm on the bottom scale and goes to 90% on the middle scale. Next, we continue this line, without changing its slope, to the third scale showing temperature. We see that it crosses the temperature scale at 4°C.

The temperature of the water is 4 °C.

Does a displacement reaction take place in 'magnesium + lead nitrate'? and if so why?
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

Maybe or maybe not (not sure)

Explanation:

A displacement reaction is a type of reaction where one element is displaced by another from a compound.

In the case of magnesium and lead nitrate, magnesium is more reactive than lead. Therefore, it will displace lead from lead nitrate to form magnesium nitrate and lead.

The reaction can be represented as:

Mg(s) + Pb(NO3)2(aq) → Mg(NO3)2(aq) + Pb(s)


Another answer could be;

A displacement reaction does not take place in 'magnesium + lead nitrate' because magnesium is more reactive than lead.
