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).

Slicing an average loaf of bread gives 13 medium thickness slices. Each slice of bread is to be coated with 0.0500 oz of mayonna

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

36 loaves of bread and 18.48 ounces of mayonnaise are needed to make all of the sandwiches.

Explanation:

Number of slices of ham = 231

Given that each sandwich has 1 slice of ham.

Then 231 slices of ham will be in :

$1\times 231 =231 sandwiches$

A single sandwich is made up of 2 bread slices , Then bread slices in 231 sandwiches will be :

$231\times 2=462$

Each bread slice is applied with 0.0500 ounce of mayonnaise.

Then 462 bread slices will have :

$462\times 0.0500 ounces=18.48 Oz$

1 bread loaf = 13 bread slices

Then breads loves in 462 bread slices :

$\frac{462}{13}=35.54\approx 36$

36 loaves of bread and 18.48 ounces of mayonnaise are needed to make all of the sandwiches.

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

Yes, this difference of readings will definitely affect the results of the experiment as well as the E values because the readings taken by both students are different from one another. There is a fault in one of the thermometer because both shows different readings of temperature of the same solution. This will affect the overall experiment and due to this error, we are unable to tell that which one reading is correct so the answer is uncertain or unsure.

List the spectator ions in the following reaction.

Rudik [331]

Answer:

2Na⁺ (aq) and 2OH⁻(aq)

Explanation:

Spectator ions:

Spectator ions are those ions which are same on both side of chemical reaction. These ions are same in the reactant side and product side. Their presence can not effect the chemical equilibrium that's why when we write the net ionic equation these ions are neglect or omitted.

Given ionic equation:

Ba⁺²(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq) + 2Na⁺ (aq) + CO²⁻₃(aq) → BaCO₃(s) + + 2Na⁺ (aq) + 2OH⁻(aq)

In given ionic equation by omitting the spectator ions i.e, 2Na⁺ (aq) and 2OH⁻(aq) net ionic equation can be written as,

Net ionic equation:

Ba⁺²(aq) + CO²⁻₃(aq) → BaCO₃(s)
