Answer : The answer is, 0.2\times 10^{-4}

Explanation :

Scientific notation : It is defined as the way or representation of expressing the number that are too big or too small that is written in the decimal form. That means always written in the power of 10 form.

For example : 8000 is written as, 8.0\times 10^3  in this notation, the significant figure is, 1 but 0.8\times 10^4  in this notation, the significant figures are, 2

The given problem are :

\frac{1.8\times 10^{-2}}{9\times 10^2}=0.2\times 10^{-4}

According to the divide and multiplication rules of scientific figures, the final answer is only as precise as the value with the least number of significant figures.

Hence, the answer is, 0.2\times 10^{-4}

The result of division (1.8 x 10⁻²) ÷ (9 x 10²) is 2.10⁻⁵ (cause the result must have 1 significant number)

<h3><em>Further Explanation</em></h3>

Significant numbers are obtained from measurement results of exact numbers and the last number estimated

This is called significant numbers

The scientific notation can be described as:

a, ... x 10ⁿ

where the power of n is an integer, and the coefficient a is a real number

Rules for significant numbers in general:

  • 1. All non-zero numbers are significant numbers
  • 2. a zero which is located between two non-zero numbers including a significant number
  • 3. all zeros are located in the final row written behind the decimal point of the include significant number
  • 4. zero decimal point is the not significant number
  • 5. In multiplication and division of important numbers, the final results look at the least number of significant numbers.

In the question, it is known that

(1.8 x 10⁻²) ÷ (9 x 10²) has 2(1.8) and 1(9) significant numbers, so the division of both produces 1 significant number

So that we did the significant number then proceed with rank number

  • 1. Division of siginificant numbers

1.8: 9 = 0.2

  • 2. Division of rank numbers

10⁻²: 10² = 10⁻⁴

So the result = 0.2.10⁻⁴

In the form of scientific notation, it becomes: 2.10⁻⁵

The result has one significant number, which is number 2

Which method would increase the solubility of a gas?
UNO [17]
Temperature and Pressure One way to increase the solubility of a gas is to decrease the temperature of the liquid.  The solubility of a gas in a liquid is usually temperature dependent, although it depends on the particular combination of which gas and which liquid.  Usually the solubility of a gas goes down with increasing temperature (think of warm carbonated beverages going flat). 

<span>The other way to increase the solubility is to increase the pressure of the gas.  The higher the pressure of the gas above the liquid, the more will dissolve.  Again, think of a carbonated beverage:  when it is sealed it doesn't go flat because it is under pressure, but when open to air, it will go flat. </span>

Which set of compounds illustrates the law of multiple proportions? so2, so3 h2o, h2o2 n2o, no, no2 all of these?
Leto [7]
<span>All of these. All the gases that are mentioned in each set identify with the law of multiple proportions since the all the compounds have oxygen ions in them. Law of multiple proportions is defined as formation of compound with oxide ions after the reaction of an element with oxygen.</span>

Describe the energy transferred in the endothermic reactions
romanna [79]
These are reactions that take in energy from the surroundings (ie energy enters the reaction, which will help you to remember the name endothermic). The energy is usually transferred as heat energy, causing the reaction mixture and its surroundings to become colder.
