Answer: a) 8.7\times 10^{-4}

b) 5.42\times 10^{6}

Explanation:

Scientific notation is defined as 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

a) 0.00087

This number is written in scientific notation as : 8.7\times 10^{-4}

b) 54,200,00

This number is written in scientific notation as : 5.42\times 10^{6}

Seawater is composed of salt, sand, and water. is seawater a heterogeneous or homogeneous mixture? explain
Umnica [9.8K]

A mixture is said to be homogeneous if its composition is uniform throughout the mixture. They are referred to as solutions. On the other hand, heterogeneous mixture does not have uniform composition. The substances present in the mixture have visible difference or phases.

Sea water is composed of salt, sand and water. Here, salt and water form homogeneous mixture but due to the presence of sand, the mixture is heterogeneous. Salt dissolves in water and the solution has uniform composition but sand does not dissolve in water, even after vigorous mixing, after some time it settles at the bottom resulting formation of layers. Thus, sea water containing salt, water and sand is a heterogeneous mixture.
