Answer : The correct option is, (d) 2555 km

Explanation :

Significant figures : The figures in a number which express the value -the magnitude of a quantity to a specific degree of accuracy is known as significant digits.

The rule apply for the addition and subtraction is :

The least precise number present after the decimal point determines the number of significant figures in the answer.

As we are given that the sum of 2222 km and 333 km.

$2222km+333km$

$\Rightarrow 2555km$

In the given expression, 2222 has 4 significant figures and 333 has 3 significant figures. From this we conclude that least precise number present after the decimal point is 0.

Thus, the answer will be 2555 km.

A molecule of pentane is made of 5 carbon atoms and 12 hydrogen atoms. a collection of pentane molecules has 3.01 x 1024 carbon

Novay_Z [31]

3.01 Ă— 10^24 Ă— (12/5) hydrogen atoms
Looking at the formula for the molecule, the ratio of carbon to hydrogen atoms is 5:12, so if we divide the number of carbon atoms by 5 and then multiply by 12, we can find the number of hydrogen atoms. Let's look at the available options and see what makes sense.
3.01 Ă— 10^24 Ă— (12/5) hydrogen atoms
* This is exactly correct.
(3.01 Ă— 10^24 / 5) hydrogen atoms
* Nope. This will tell you how many pentane MOLECULES you have, but not the number of hydrogen atoms.
3.01 Ă— 10^24 Ă— (5/12) hydrogen atoms
* Close, but the ratio (5/12) will tell you the number of carbon atoms you have if you give it the number of hydrogen atoms. So this choice is wrong.
3.01 Ă— 10^24 Ă— 12 hydrogen atoms description
* This would tell you the number of hydrogen atoms you have if you know the number of pentane molecules you have. So this choice is also wrong.
