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

Melatonin has the chemical formula C13H16N2O2. Less than 10 milligrams(0.01g) Convert the melatonin to moles
oee [108]

Answer: There are 0.000043 moles of melatonin.

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance occupies 22.4 L at STP and contains avogadro's number 6.023\times 10^{23} of particles.

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}

given mass = 10 mg = 0.01 g

molar mass of C_{13}H_{16}N_2O_2 = 232.28 g

{\text {moles of melatonin}}=\frac{0.01g}{232.28g/mol}=0.000043moles

Thus there are 0.000043 moles of melatonin

Assume that you have a cylinder with a movable piston. What would happen to the gas pressure inside the cylinder if you do the f
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

A. The pressure will increase 4 times. P₂ = 4 P₁

B. The pressure will decrease to half its value. P₂ = 0.5 P₁

C. The pressure will decrease to half its value. P₂ = 0.5 P₁

Explanation:

Initially, we have n₁ moles of a gas that occupy a volume V₁ at temperature T₁ and pressure P₁.

<em>What would happen to the gas pressure inside the cylinder if you do the following?</em>

<em />

<em>Part A: Decrease the volume to one-fourth the original volume while holding the temperature constant. Express your answer in terms of the variable P initial.</em>

V₂ = 0.25 V₁. According to Boyle's law,

P₁ . V₁ = P₂ . V₂

P₁ . V₁ = P₂ . 0.25 V₁

P₁ = P₂ . 0.25

P₂ = 4 P₁

<em>Part B: Reduce the Kelvin temperature to half its original value while holding the volume constant. Express your answer in terms of the variable P initial.</em>

T₂ = 0.5 T₁. According to Gay-Lussac's law,

\frac{P_{1}}{T_{1}} =\frac{P_{2}}{T_{2}}\\\frac{P_{1}}{T_{1}} =\frac{P_{2}}{0.5T_{1}}\\\\P_{2}=0.5P_{1}

<em>Part C: Reduce the amount of gas to half while keeping the volume and temperature constant. Express your answer in terms of the variable P initial.</em>

n₂ = 0.5 n₁.

P₁ in terms of the ideal gas equation is:

P_{1}=\frac{n_{1}.R.T_{1}}{V_{1}}

P₂ in terms of the ideal gas equation is:

P_{2}=\frac{n_{2}.R.T_{1}}{V_{1}}=\frac{0.5n_{1}.R.T_{1}}{V_{1}}=0.5P_{1}

How do the properties of a compound like h2o or nacl illustrate the concept of emergent properties?
Softa [21]

Answer and explanation;

Na - metal

Cl - poisonous gas

NaCl - cyrstaline solid that is edible

An emergent property is a property which a collection or complex system has, but which the individual members do not.  

Water emergent properties: cohesion & adhesion, versatile solvent, temperature moderation, freezing.

The properties of a compound can be very different from the properties of the elements that make them, for example, Sodium is an explosive metal, and  Chlorine is a toxic gas, however, sodium chloride is a Delicious table salt!
