There are 2 significant figures.
"Rule 3: Trailing zeros are significant if a decimal point is shown in the number, but may or may not be significant if no decimal point is shown."
What? That docent make any scene?
Answer:
3 : 1
Explanation:
Let the rate of He be R1
Molar Mass of He (M1) = 4g/mol
Let the rate of O2 be R2
Molar Mass of O2 (M2) = 32g/mol
Recall:
R1/R2 = √(M2/M1)
R1/R2 = √(32/4)
R1/R2 = √8
R1/R2 = 3
The ratio of rate of effusion of Helium to oxygen is 3 : 1
First, you mix the salt and sand with water, so the salt dissolves. Next, you filter the sand out, so you have the slat water and sand separated. Then, you evaporate the water, leaving the salt behind.
