Chemistry

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.

Answer:

Rosalind Elsie Franklin (25 July 1920 – 16 April 1958)was a British biophysicist and X-ray crystallographer who made critical contributions to the understanding of the fine molecular structures of DNA, RNA, viruses, coal and graphite. The DNA work achieved the most fame because DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) plays essential roles in cell metabolism and genetics, and the discovery of its structure helped scientists understand how genetic information is passed from parents to children.

Franklin is best known for her work on the X-ray diffraction images of DNA which led to discovery of DNA double helix. Her data, according to Francis Crick, was "the data we actually used" to formulate Crick and Watson's 1953 hypothesis regarding the structure of DNA.Franklin's X-ray diffraction image confirming the helical structure of DNA were shown to Watson without her approval or knowledge. Though this image and her accurate interpretation of the data provided valuable insight into the DNA structure, Franklin's scientific contributions to the discovery of the double helix are often overlooked. Unpublished drafts of her papers (written just as she was arranging to leave King's College London) show that she had independently determined the overall B-form of the DNA helix and the location of the phosphate groups on the outside of the structure. However, her work was published third, in the series of three DNA Nature articles, led by the paper of Watson and Crick which only hinted at her contribution to their hypothesis.

After finishing her portion of the DNA work, Franklin led pioneering work on the tobacco mosaic and polio viruses. She died in 1958 at the age of 37 from complications arising from ovarian cancer.

Which is denser 10g of shampoo or 10kg of the same shampoo? Please explain! Thanks!
docker41 [41]
They have the same density because a material, no matter how much of it there is, will always be a certain density. A 40g ball of iron has the same density as a 1g ball of iron.
