Answer:

Explanation:

  • If the number is written in scientific notation, everything counts. For example 1.5540000 * 10^9 all numbers count. Answer 8 sig digs.
  • If the number is not written in scientific notation then left hand zeros may or may not count. It's a guessing game 34000 You really don't know until it is put in scientific notation.
  • If the number is a decimal between 0 and 1 then the numbers immediately after the decimal do not count. For example 0.00034 has two sig digs.
  • If the number is between 0 and 1 and there are after a known sig dig., then it depends on what you are told. For example 0.00045400 is a guess. There are at least three sig digs. 454. What you do with the last two zeros is a guess.

“Sandwiched (or embedded) zeros, those between significant digits, are significant. Thus, 405 g has four significant figures. Leading zeros, which are zeros at the beginning of a decimal number less than 1, are not significant. In 0.000458 mL, the first four digits are leading zeros and are not significant.”

Answer:

SO2 in the atmosphere is due to burning of sulphur containing fossil fuel, S+O2→SO2 and

from smelting and roasting of sulphides.

CuFeS2+O2→Cu2O+FeO+SO2

SO2 content can be controlled by using alternate source of energy for burning, as nuclear energy , solar energy , hydroelectric energy.

Fuels containing sulphur are desulphonated before burning by FGD (fuel Gas Desulphuristion).

If H2O under high pressure is used , it will dissolve SO2 and will lower pH of the soil and thus fertillity is decreased.

Is this a balanced equation? 4NH3+ 5O2 – 4NO + 5H20​
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

The reaction is not balanced.

Explanation:

The reaction expression is given as:

     4NH₃   +   5O₂   →   4NO  +   5H₂O

In a balanced reaction equation, the number of atoms on both sides of the expression is the same.

Now let us investigate;

Elements                            N                          H                       O

Reactants                           4                          12                       10

Products                            4                           10                        9

We see that the number of H and O on both sides of the expression is not the same. The reaction is not balanced.

ddd [48]

Answer:

Following are the solution to these question:

Explanation:

Simple diffusion implies which molecules can move across a cell membrane instead of using the incorporated protein structure channels. Its flow of molecules across these canals is enabled by diffusion. It has steroid hormones and N2.

Facilitated diffusion of molecules via cell membranes, or active transportation, which would be the random mass transit process of molecules or ions via unique cellular membranes from the transmembrane. It has K+ and Glucose.
