The answer is (2). To calculate the density, you need to divide the mass with volume. When doing division, the significant figures of result is the minimal of the numbers using before. So the answer is 2.

Relative to protons, electrons have:
saw5 [17]

Answer:

<u><em>(B.) a significantly lower mass that protons</em></u>

Explanation:

The mass (in g) of an electron is 9.11 ×10^{-28}g, which is significantly lower than the mass of protons and neutrons which are approximately the same. They are extremely small (equal to 0 amu), contributing nothing to the overall mass of the atom.

The nucleus has a mass of 1 amu and is positively charged.

A 40-lb container of peat moss measures 14× 20× 30 in. A 40-lb container of topsoil has a volume of 1.9 gal. Calculate the avera
Viktor [21]

The average density of the peat moss in units of g/cm³ is 2.52 g/cm³

<h3>How to convert 40 lb to grams (g)</h3>

We'lol begin by converting 40 lb to grams (g). This can be obtained as follow:

1 lb = 453.592 g

Therefore,

40 lb = (40 × 453.592) / 1 lb

40 lb = 18143.68 g

<h3>How to convert 1.9 gal to cm³</h3>

We can convert 1.9 gal to cm³ as follow:

1 gal = 3785.41 cm³

Therefore,

1.9 gal = (1.9 gal × 3785.41 cm³) / 1 gal

1.9 gal = 7192.279 cm³

<h3>How to determine the density </h3>

The density can be obtained as follow:

  • Mass = 18143.68 g
  • Volume = 7192.279 cm³
  • Density =?

Density = mass / volume

Density = 18143.68 / 7192.279

Density = 2.52 g/cm³

You shake a can of soda and open it, which cause the pressure to decrease. what happens to the volume of the CO2. the soda​
navik [9.2K]

Answer: <em>When you take the top off of a bottle of soda, the pressure inside the bottle decreases and goes to the same pressure as the atmosphere. When that happens the carbon dioxide inside is no longer forced to be a liquid and turns back into a gas, causing the bubbles that we're so familiar with.</em>

Explanation:

However, producing foaming carbon dioxide gas by shaking a bottle of soda water is a physical change, while producing foaming carbon dioxide gas by combining baking soda and vinegar is a chemical change. ... Because no chemical bonds are broken and no new molecules are formed, this is a physical change in the system.

What are the products produced when an acid and base react together
SashulF [63]
Both products will start to cancel the acidity and how strong the base is if they are mixed. If the acid is stronger than the base then it will be an acidic product and visa versa if the base is stronger than the acid.
