Chemical reactions are basically divided into two major classes depending on whether the reaction lose energy or gain energy from the environment during the course of the reaction. The two classes of reaction are exothermic and endothermic reaction.
An exothermic reaction is a type of reaction in which the reaction system lose energy to the environment and thus, the energy content of the reactants is more than that of the product formed. Because of this, the enthapyl change of an exothermic reaction is always negative.
An endothermic reaction is a type of reaction in which the reaction system absorb energy from the environment. Thus, the energy contents of the products is always higher than that of the reactants and the enthapyl change of the reaction is always positive. During the course of the reaction, the reaction container is usually cold to the touch because energy is been absorbed from the environment.
Explanation:
The scientific notation:

where
and k is integer.
We have the example:

You can write the numbers in a "normal" form:

Make the sum:

And next write it in the scientific notation:

<h3>Other method:</h3>
You can add numbers in scientific notation if the power of tens in both number is the same.
Therefore you must convert the first number:

Now, you can make the sum:

0.500 grams would be left after 56.0 days.
After 14 days=4.00 g
After 28 days=2.00 g
After 42 days=1.00 g
After 56 days=0.500 g
This is after four half lives.
The mass of a tree is primarily carbon. The carbon comes from carbon dioxide used during photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants convert the sun's energy into chemical energy which is captured within the bonds of carbon molecules built from atmospheric carbon dioxide and water.
