In order to get the sum of 2.7 and 2.47, we will add both numbers. So, 2.7 plus 2.47 would be 5.17. And the correct number of significant digits in this number is still the same, 5.17, so we have three significant numbers. Why? There are three rules in identifying the significant figures: 1. Non zeros are always significant (which this applies in our sum above). 2. Any zeros in between significant numbers are always significant. 3. <span> The final zero or zeros in the decimal portion only are significant.</span>
Answer:
The empirical formula of ribose (a sugar) is CH2O. In a separate experiment, using a mass spectrometer, the molar mass of ribose was determined to be 150 g/mol.Explanation:
Answer:
Hypothesis
Explanation:
The following steps are applicable when we wish to prove a specific fact:
- a hypothesis is made; this is a statement that we provide after some observations and we wish to either prove or deny it;
- multiple experiments are carried out in order to gather significantly substantial amount of data that can be then further analyzed and any tendencies can be noticed;
- based on the data gathered, conclusions are made: we either prove or deny the hypothesis. If hypothesis is proved, it may become a theory over long time.
In the context of this problem, we're at the first step where we make a hypothesis.
Answer: The precipitate formed is 
Explanation:
A double displacement reaction is one in which exchange of ions take place. The salts which are soluble in water are designated by symbol (aq) and those which are insoluble in water and remain in solid or precipitated form are represented by (s) after their chemical formulas.
A double displacement reaction in which one of the product is formed as a solid is called as precipitation reaction.
The balanced chemical equation is:
#6 should be the independent variable because that's the one you can control
