Answer : The mass represented in scientific notation as 5.0\times 10^{-3}g  and the mass in milligram is, 5 mg

Explanation :

Scientific notation : It is the representation of expressing the numbers that are too big or too small and are represented in the decimal form with one digit before the decimal point times 10 raise to the power.

For example :

5000 is written as 5.0\times 10^3

889.9 is written as 8.899\times 10^{-2}

In this examples, 5000 and 889.9 are written in the standard notation and 5.0\times 10^3  and 8.899\times 10^{-2}  are written in the scientific notation.

If the decimal is shifting to right side, the power of 10 is negative and if the decimal is shifting to left side, the power of 10 is positive.

As we are given the 0.005 g in standard notation.

Now converting this into scientific notation, we get:

\Rightarrow 0.005g=5.0\times 10^{-3}g

As, the decimal point is shifting to right side, thus the power of 10 is negative.

Thus, the mass represented in scientific notation as 5.0\times 10^{-3}g

Now we have to determine the mass in milligram.

The conversion used from gram to kilogram is:

1 gram = 1000 milligram

or,

1 g = 1000 mg

As we are given the mass 0.005 grams.

As, 1 gram mass = 1000 mg

So, 0.005 gram mass = \frac{1000g}{1g}\times 0.005mg=5mg

The mass in milligram is, 5 mg

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Scientific notation represents the precise way scientists handle exceptionally abundant digits or extremely inadequate numbers in the product of a decimal form of number and powers of ten.  

Put differently, such numbers can be rewritten as a simple number multiplied by 10 raised to a certain exponent or power. It is a system for expressing extremely broad or exceedingly narrow digits compactly.

Scientific notation should be in the form of  

\boxed{ \ a \times 10^n \ }

where  

\boxed{ \ 1 \leq a \ < 10 \ }

The number "a" is called "mantissa" and the exponent "n" the order of magnitude.

The exponent tells about the size of the number.

  • A positive exponent indicates a number greater than or equal to 1.
  • A negatifive exponent indicates a number between 0 and 1.

From the key questions asked, we face the standard form of 0.005 grams which will be converted into scientific notation.  

0.005 = \frac{5}{1,000}

  • The coefficient (or mantissa) is 5, which has fulfilled the interval 1 ≤ a < 10.  
  • The denominator consists precisely of three zero digits.

Hence, 0.005 grams is written in scientific notation as  \boxed{ \ 5.0 \times 10^{-3} \ grams \ }

Because 1 milligrams is equal to 10⁻³ grams, then

5.0 \times 10^{-3} \ grams \times \frac{1 \ milligrams}{10^{-3} \ grams}

Hence, 0,005 grams is 5.0 milligrams.

In science, we frequently must deal with extremely small or incredibly large quantities. For a typical example, one of the recognized limitations of the microwave frequency is 300,000,000 Hz with a photon energy of 0.00000124 eV. They with many zeros can be impractical to work with, so scientists properly implement scientific notation.

The inverse of scientific notation is the standard form. To promptly change scientific notation into standard form, we reverse the process, move the decimal point to the right or left. This expanded form is called the standard form.

\boxed{ \ 3.0 \times 10^{8} \ Hz \ \rightarrow 300,000,000 \ Hz \ or \ 300 \ MHz \ }

\boxed{ \ 0.00000124 \ eV \ \rightarrow 1.24 \times 10^{-6} \ eV \ or \ 1.24 \ \mu eV \ }

Which type of telescope would perform better on a mountaintop than at a lower elevation?
marishachu [46]

when an optical telescope located on the ground is used to view the sky the image has to surpass through the earth's atmosphere which is polluted. so the resolution wont be clear. When viewed on a mountain top both optical and infrared telescopes would perform better as the air above the atmosphere is less depth and cleaner.

PROBLEMS
AlekseyPX

Answer:

1.) 0.1 M

2.) 0.2 M

3.) 1 M

4.) Solution #3 is the most concentrated because it has the highest molarity. This solution has the largest solute to solvent ratio. The more solvent there is, the lower the concentration and molarity.

Explanation:

To find the molarity, you need to (1) convert grams NaOH to moles (via molar mass from periodic table) and then (2) calculate the molarity (via the molarity equation). All of the answers should have 1 sig fig to match the given values.

Molar Mass (NaOH): 22.99 g/mol + 16.00 g/mol + 1.008 g/mol

Molar Mass (NaOH): 39.998 g/mol

4 grams NaOH           1 mole
----------------------  x  ------------------  = 0.1 moles NaOH
                                 39.998 g

1.)

Molarity = moles / volume (L)

Molarity = (0.1 moles) / (1 L)

Molarity = 0.1 M

2.)

Molarity = moles / volume (L)

Molarity = (0.1 moles) / (0.5 L)

Molarity = 0.2 M

3.)

Molarity = moles / volume (L)

Molarity = (0.1 moles) / (0.1 L)

Molarity = 1 M

Approximately how many moles of chlorine make up 1.79 × 1023 atoms of chlorine?
e-lub [12.9K]
1.2*10^24# atoms of chlorine

Explanation:
Chlorine gas (#Cl_2#) has two atoms of elemental chlorine in a molecule, so:
#1# mol of #Cl_2# have #6*10^23# molecules of #Cl_2#
#1# molecule of #Cl_2# have #2# atoms per molucule
Then #2*6*10^23 = 1.2*10^24# atoms of chlorine in a mol of chlorine gas
