Five. The measurement 50,600 mg has five significant digits.

I presume that you are using the comma as a decimal separator.

The rules for significant figures are
1. Nonzero digits are always significant.
2. Any zeros between two significant digits are significant.
3. Final or trailing zeros are significant only if they are to the right of a decimal point.

• According to Rule 1, the 5 and 6 are significant.
• According to Rule 2, the 0 between the 5 and 6 is significant
• According to Rule 3, the final two zeros are significant.

Thus, there are five significant digits in the measurement 50,600 mg.

Note: If the comma is a thousands separator, the number has only three significant digits.

Answer:

Explanation:

Significant figures may be defined as the numbers of the digit that can carry to contribute the meaning of the exact measurement resolution. Significant figures follows some specific scientific rules.

All non zero digits are significant figures. The zeros that are present between the non zero digits are significant figures. The zeros that are present after the significant figures are considered as significant. Here, 5 significant figures are 5,0,6,0 and 0. Hence, the total significant figures are 5.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

Predict the effect of adding a non competitive inhibitor to the reaction mixture on the rate of reaction at a high substrate con

Darya [45]

Answer:

A noncompetitive inhibitor can only bind to an enzyme with or without a substrate at several places at a particular point in time

Explanation:

this is because It changes the conformation of an enzyme as well as its active site, which makes the substrate unable to bind to the enzyme effectively so that the efficiency of the enzyme decreases. A noncompetitive inhibitor binds to the enzyme away from the active site, altering/distorting the shape of the enzyme so that even if the substrate can bind, the active site functions less effectively and most of the time also the inhibitor is reversible

Every day on his ride to school, Max sees some sedimentary rock. He starts to wonder: Could material from this sedimentary rock

Sloan [31]

Material from this sedimentary rock ever forms igneous rock, Option D. Yes, if the sedimentary rock is moved below Earth’s outer layer and exposed to energy from Earth’s interior, it can melt into liquid rock and form igneous rock.

Sedimentary rocks are shaped from pre-existing rocks or pieces of soon-as-dwelling organisms. They form from deposits that collect on this planet's floor. Sedimentary rocks regularly have special layering or bedding.

Igneous rock, or magmatic rock, is one of the 3 primary rock kinds, the others being sedimentary and metamorphic. Igneous rock is shaped via the cooling and solidification of magma or lava. The magma may be derived from partial melts of existing rocks in either a planet's mantle or crust.

Every day on his ride to school, Max sees some sedimentary rock. He starts to wonder: Could material from this sedimentary rock ever form igneous rock?

A. No, igneous rock can only form out of other igneous rocks. Sedimentary rock cannot change into igneous rock.

B. No, igneous rock forms under Earth’s outer layer due to energy from Earth’s interior, but the sedimentary rock is only at Earth’s surface.

C. Yes, if the sedimentary rock is exposed to energy from the sun at Earth’s surface for a long enough time, it can melt into liquid rock and form igneous rock.

D. Yes, if the sedimentary rock is moved below Earth’s outer layer and exposed to energy from Earth’s interior, it can melt into liquid rock and form igneous rock.

Explain why ethanol will dissolve in water and carbon tetrachloride will not.

Rama09 [41]

This is because iodine is nonpolar. You also saw that the iodine was less soluble inethanol and acetone than it was in carbon tetrachloride. Ethanoland acetone are more polar thancarbon tetrachloride. Iodine was more soluble in them than it was in water because they are less polar than water.
