protons and electrons are both always the atomic number which is 9 in this case.

For neutrons you subtract the atomic number (9) from the weight of the atom (18.998) some teachers will want you to round to the nearest whole (19). We do this because the number of protons is the atomic number so if you subtract the protons from the whole weight of the atom you would have the electrons and neutrons left. Since electrons weigh so little we don't have to subtract them. Weighing neutrons and electrons would be like weighing an elephant (neutrons) and then putting one marshmallow on the scale (electron).

Carry out the following operations as if they were calculations of experimental results and express each answer in standard nota

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

1. $10.6\; \rm m$ (one decimal place.)

2. $0.79\; \rm g$ (two decimal places.)

3. $16.5\;\rm cm^2$ (three significant figures.)

Explanation:

The first and second expressions are additions and subtractions. When adding two numbers, the accuracy of the result is given by the number of decimal places in it. The result should have as many decimal places as the input with the least number of decimal places.

For example, in the first expression:

$5.6792\;\rm m$ has four decimal places.
$0.6\; \rm m$ has only one decimal place.
$4.33\; \rm m$ has two decimal places.

Therefore, the result should be rounded to one decimal place. Note that these units are compatible for addition, since they are all the same. The result should have the same unit (that is: $\rm m$ .)

Therefore:

$\rm 5.6792\; m + 0.6\; m + 4.33\; m \approx 10.6\; \rm m$ . (Rounded to one decimal place.)

Similarly:

$\rm 3.70\; \rm g$ has two decimal places.
$2.9133\; \rm g$ has four decimal places.

Therefore, the result should be rounded to two decimal places. Its unit should be $\rm g$ (same as the unit of the two inputs.)

$\rm 3.70\; g - 2.9133\; g \approx 0.79\; \rm g$ . (Rounded to two decimal places.)

When multiplying two numbers, the accuracy of the result should be based on the number of significant figures in it. The result should have as many significant figures as the input with the least number of significant figures. In this expression:

$4.51\; \rm cm$ has three significant figures.
$3.6666\; \rm cm$ has five significant figures.

Therefore, the result should have only three significant figures.

The unit of the result is supposed to be the product of the units of the input. In this expression, that unit will be $\rm cm \cdot cm$ , which is occasionally written as $\rm cm^2$ .

$\rm 4.51 \; cm \times 3.6666 \; cm \approx 16.5\; \rm cm^2$ . (Rounded to three significant figures.)

Identify the independent and dependent variables. Peter is conducting an experiment to see how much salt will dissolve in water

Vlad1618 [11]

Temperature is independent and the amount of salt dissolving in water is dependant. This is because the amount of salt dissolving depends on how low or high the water temperature is
