Answer:

hen working with very large or very small numbers, scientists, mathematicians, and engineers often use scientific notation to express those quantities. Scientific notation uses exponential notation. The following are examples of scientific notation.

Light year: number of miles light travels in one year, about 5,880,000,000,000

           Scientific notation is 5.88 x 1012 miles.

hydrogen atom: has a diameter of about 0.00000005 mm

Scientific notation is 5 x 10-8 mm

Computation with very large numbers is made easier with scientific notation.

Learning to Use Scientific Notation

When a number is written in scientific notation, the exponent tells you if the term is a large or a small number. A positive exponent indicates a large number and a negative exponent indicates a small number that is between 0 and 1.

Since it’s so useful, let’s look more closely at the details of scientific notation format.

Scientific Notation

A positive number is written in scientific notation if it is written as a x 10n where the coefficient a has a value such that 1 ≤ a < 10 and n is an integer.

Look at the numbers below. Which of the numbers is written in scientific notation?

Writing Decimal Notation in Scientific Notation

Now let’s compare some numbers expressed in both scientific notation and standard decimal notation in order to understand how to convert from one form to the other. Take a look at the tables below. Pay close attention to the exponent in the scientific notation and the position of the decimal point in the decimal notation.

62,500,000,000.0

6.25 x 1010

0.000000000625

6.25 x 10-10

To write a large number in scientific notation, move the decimal point to the left to obtain a number between 1 and 10. Since moving the decimal point changes the value, you have to multiply the decimal by a power of 10 so that the expression has the same value.

Let’s look at an example.

180,000. =      18,000.0  x  101

                                                             1,800.00  x 102

                                                                180.000 x 103

                                                                  18.0000 x 104

                                                                    1.80000 x 105

                                   180,000 = 1.8 x 105

Notice that the decimal point was moved 5 places to the left, and the exponent is 5.

The world population is estimated to be about 6,800,000,000 people. Which answer expresses this number in scientific notation?

A) 7 x 109

B) 0.68 x 1010

C) 6.8 x 109

D) 68 x 108

Represent 1.00357 x 10-6 in decimal form.

A) 1.00357000000

B) 0.000100357

C) 0.000001357

D) 0.00000100357

Show/Hide Answer

To write a small number (between 0 and 1) in scientific notation, you move the decimal to the right and the exponent will have to be negative.

                             0.00004     =        00.0004   x  10-1

                                               000.004   x  10-2

                                                           0000.04   x   10-3

                                                           00000.4   x  10-4

                                                           000004.  x  10-5

                                       0.00004     =   4 x 10-5

What is an example of potential energy and kentic energy?
lana [24]
Potential energy is stored energy. Kinetic energy involves movement.

If a ball is on the top of a hill, it has the most potential energy on the very top of the hill. The kinetic energy is also 0 at this point.

If the ball rolls down the hill, potential energy decreases while kinetic increases.

A 500.0 g block of dry ice (solid CO2, molar mass = 44.0 g) vaporizes at room temperature. Calculate the volume of gas produced
Damm [24]

Considering the ideal gas law, the volume of gas produced at 25.0 °C and 1.50 atm is 184.899 L.

<h3>Definition of ideal gas</h3>

An ideal gas is a theoretical gas that is considered to be composed of randomly moving point particles that do not interact with each other. Gases in general are ideal when they are at high temperatures and low pressures.

<h3>Ideal gas law</h3>

An ideal gas is characterized by absolute pressure (P), volume (V), and absolute temperature (T). The relationship between them constitutes the ideal gas law, an equation that relates the three variables if the amount of substance, number of moles n, remains constant and where R is the molar constant of gases:

P×V = n×R×T

<h3>Volume of gas</h3>

In this case, you know:

  • P= 1.50 atm
  • V= ?
  • n= 500 g×\frac{1 mole}{44 g}= 11.36 moles, being 44 \frac{g}{mole} the molar mass of CO₂
  • R= 0.082 \frac{atmL}{molK}
  • T= 25 C= 298 K (being 0 C=273 K)

Replacing in the ideal gas law:

1.50 atm×V = 11.36 moles×0.082\frac{atmL}{molK} × 298 K

Solving:

V= (11.36 moles×0.082\frac{atmL}{molK} × 298 K) ÷ 1.50 atm

<u><em>V= 184.899 L</em></u>

Finally, the volume of gas produced at 25.0 °C and 1.50 atm is 184.899 L.

adam wants to investigate the strengths of different acids and alkalis. He has 2 different acid solutions and 2 different alkali
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

The strength of an acid or alkali depends on the degree of dissociation of the acid or alkali in water. The degree of dissociation measures the percentage of acid molecules that ionise when dissolved in water. He could use universal indicators or litmus paper for this.
