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 \ }

The CRC Handbook, a large reference book of chemical and physical data, lists two isotopes of indium (). The atomic mass of 4.28
ivanzaharov [21]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of second isotope of indium is 114.904 amu

<u>Explanation:</u>

Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of masses of each isotope each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance.

Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:

  .....(1)

Let the mass of isotope 2 of indium be 'x'

  • <u>For isotope 1:</u>

Mass of isotope 1 = 112.904 amu

Percentage abundance of isotope 1 = 4.28 %

Fractional abundance of isotope 1 = 0.0428

  • <u>For isotope 2:</u>

Mass of isotope 2 = x amu

Percentage abundance of isotope 2 = [100 - 4.28] = 95.72 %

Fractional abundance of isotope 2 = 0.9572

Average atomic mass of indium = 114.818 amu

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

114.818=[(112.904\times 0.0428)+(x\times 0.9572)]\\\\x=114.904amu

Hence, the mass of second isotope of indium is 114.904 amu

What is the electric force on a proton 2.5 fmfm from the surface of the nucleus? Hint: Treat the spherical nucleus as a point ch
sammy [17]

Explanation:

It is known that charge on xenon nucleus is q_{1} equal to +54e. And, charge on the proton is q_{2} equal to +e. So, radius of the nucleus is as follows.

            r = \frac{6.0}{2}

              = 3.0 fm

Let us assume that nucleus is a point charge. Hence, the distance between proton and nucleus will be as follows.

              d = r + 2.5

                 = (3.0 + 2.5) fm

                 = 5.5 fm

                 = 5.5 \times 10^{-15} m     (as 1 fm = 10^{-15})

Therefore, electrostatic repulsive force on proton is calculated as follows.

              F = \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_{o}} \frac{q_{1}q_{2}}{d^{2}}

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

           F = \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_{o}} \frac{q_{1}q_{2}}{d^{2}}

              = (9 \times 10^{9}) \frac{54e \times e}{(5.5 \times 10^{-15})^{2}}

              = (9 \times 10^{9}) \frac{54 \times (1.6 \times 10^{-19})^{2}}{(5.5 \times 10^{-15})^{2}}

              = 411.2 N

or,           = 4.1 \times 10^{2} N

Thus, we ca conclude that 4.1 \times 10^{2} N is the electric force on a proton 2.5 fm from the surface of the nucleus.
