Answer:

1. d. Person A rounded their measurement

2) a. 105.

b. 76.4

c. 0.04

d. 1.988

Explanation:

1. Measuring an object is done with the least precise one. Person A recorded 1.5cm while Person B recorded 1.50cm of the same object. This measurement differs in the sense that Person A rounded up their measurement to 2 significant figures (1.5) while Person B recorded their answer as three significant figures (1.50).

2. During multiplication and division, the result is written as the measurement in the lowest significant figure.

a. 7.00 x 15.00 = 105. Calculator showed 105.00, which is 5 s.f (two zeros after decimal point are significant). The least significant figure is 3, hence 105.00 is rounded up to 105.

b. 40.2.1.901 = 76.4; The calculator answer of this operation is 76.420200 but since the lowest significant figure is 3. We round up our answer to 3 s.f i.e. 76.4

c. (0.003)(13.2) = 0.04. For this operation, calculator answer is 0.0396, however, the lowest significant figure in the question is 1 i.e. 0.003. Note that the two zeros before 3 are insignificant. Hence, our answer will be rounded up to 1 s.f i.e. 0.04

d. 1.590+ 0.3975 = 1.988. the calculator answer to this operation is 1.9875. However, the least significant figure in the question is 4 i.e. 1.590. hence, the answer will be rounded up to 4 s.f which is 1.988.

Q1: Erosion and weathering are often confused. How is erosion different from weathering? Give an example of each.
stepan [7]

Explanation:

1.

Weathering is the physical disintegration and chemical decomposition of rocks to form sediments and soils whereas erosion is the movement of weathered materials from one area to the other.

Erosion moves weathered materials and it causes them to change position. For example loose chips of rocks broken down as the rock weakens through alternate wetting and drying in tropical regions will remain in-situ until the agents of erosion comes to carry them away. The breaking is weathering and the carrying is erosion.

2.

Examples of mechanical weathering:

  •   Frost action
  •   Pressure release

Examples of chemical weathering:

  • Oxidation
  • Carbonation

There are two types of weathering:

  • In mechanical weathering, a rock disintegrates into smaller chunks by the action of wind, water and glacier. For example in temperate and polar regions, water within rocks freezes. When water freezes it expands and causes tension within the rock. When temperature drops, water melts and the tension is relieved. This process causes a rock to crack. The crack will eventually become wider with time.
  • In chemical weathering, a rock decomposes by the action of chemicals formed in the rock. In karst regions where limestone forms, combination of rain water and carbon dioxide forms weak carbonic acid that reacts with calcite in limestone.

Which alkane is the isomer of butane called 2-methylpropane? A skeletal model of a 4-carbon chain has a straight line extending
solmaris [256]

Answer:

A three-carbon chain has a straight line extending from the center carbon.

Explanation:

Isomers are compounds having the same molecular formula but different structural formulas.

Butane and 2-methylpropane are constitutional isomers. Constitutional isomers differ in the way that the constituent atoms are connected to each other.

Butane is a straight chain compound while the compound 2-methylpropane consists of a three-carbon chain which has a straight line extending from the center carbon.

Which type of reaction is represented by the generic equation ab cd right arrow. ad cb? combustion decomposition single replacem
arsen [322]

The illustration would be that of a double replacement reaction.

<h3>What are double replacement reactions?</h3>

They are reactions in which 2 ionic compounds exchange ions to form two new products.

Thus, in the reaction: ab + cd ----------> ad + cb

ab and cd are two ionic compounds. The b in ab is replaced by the d in cd while the d in cd itself is replaced by the b in ab. Hence, new products, ad and cd, are formed.

What properties can be used to identify substance and why?
Elena L [17]

Answer:

All substances can be characterized by their unique sets of physical and chemical properties. Properties that can be determined without changing the composition of a substance are referred to as physical properties. Characteristics such as melting point, boiling point, density, solubility, color, odor, etc.
