78.9 + 890.43 - 21 = 9.5 x 10^2

Chemistry

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.

Answer:

An atom is made of up subatomic particles called protons, neutrons and electrons. The center of an atom is called the nucleus and is where the protons and neutrons are held while electrons orbit the nucleus in orbital shells. A electron has a negative charge, a proton has a positive charge, and a neutron has no charge (neutral).

The atomic number of a atom is the total amount of the atom's protons. In a neutral atom (Not an ion), the amount of electrons is the same as the protons. Therefore, the atomic number also tells the amount of electrons in the atom.

A ion is a negatively or positively charged particle due to the giving or taking of electrons with one or more atoms (Called an ionic bond). An atom that gives away electrons becomes positively charge because that atom now has more protons than neutrons. An atom that takes an electron becomes negatively charge because that atom now has more electrons than protons.

Atomic Mass is the sum of an atom proton and neutrons. To determine how many neutron an atom has, subtract the atomic mass from the atomic number. Electrons do not play a part in atomic mass as their mass is  1/1,836 of a proton's mass.

A isotope is two or more forms of the same element that contain equal amounts of protons but different amount of neutrons.

Why does the total volume of water and alcohol decrease when the liquids were mixed together?
WARRIOR [948]

Answer: I think the alcohol molecules slip between the water molecules and take up that space, so you have less that you started with.

A sample of water at 100°C is converted to steam after absorbing 820 kJ of heat. How grams of H2O are contained in the sample? A
Varvara68 [4.7K]
Since water is already at 100<span>°C all the energy is used to evaporate it. 
Now we can calculate how many </span>mols of water are evaporated with 820kJ.
N= \frac{820}{41} =20 mol
We calculated that we got 20 mols of water evaporated. Now, all we have to do is find how many grams is a mol of water. Molar mass of water is <span>20.16 g/mol.
</span>The final answer is:
m=20*20.16=403.2g

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

Molar mass

Explanation:

This is a counting unit which represents the mass in grams of a substance that make up one mole of the substance. This mass is calculated as follows:

Molar mass = Mass/ Number of moles

Units: grams/mol
