6 0

Answer:

8700

Explanation:

First, do the operations i<em>nside parentheses</em>.

102 900/12 = 8600     2 sfs because of 12

170/1.27 = 130              2 sfs because of trailing 0 in 170

===============

Now, do the addition.

 8600

<u>  + </u><u>13</u><u>0 </u>

8700

The answer has two significant figures because when adding, you must round your answer to the same "place" as the measurement with its last significant figure furthest to the left.  

The last significant figure in 8600 (the 6, in the hundreds place) is further to the left than the last significant figure in 130 (the 3, in the tens place).

We round off to the nearest hundred and get the answer, 8700.

The atmospheric pressure in Denver, Colorado, is usually about 84.00 kPa. What is this pressure in atm and torr units?
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

<u>84.00 kPa = 630.084 torr</u>

Formula for kPa to torr: For an approximate result, multiply the pressure value by 7.501. <em><u>84* 7.501</u></em>

<u>84.00 kPa = 0.831683168 atm</u>

Formula for kPa to atm: for an approximate result, divide the pressure value by 101. <em><u>84/101</u></em>

Refer to the following table for information about gold and mercury. Then choose which statements are true about equal sample si
babymother [125]
Below are the choices:

A The mercury will change temperature at a much faster rate under the same heating conditions. 
<span>B The two metal samples will change temperature at about the same rate. </span>
<span>C The gold would float if placed in the mercury. </span>
<span>D The gold would sink to the bottom if placed in the mercury.
</span>
  <span>a = false, it will take 0.031 cal to raise 1g Au 1degree while it will take 0.033 cal to raise 1g Hg 1 degree so, although Au will heat up faster, it will not be discernably faster so... 
b = true 
c = false, Au density > Hg 
d = true</span>
