Answer:

1. 10.6\; \rm m (one decimal place.)

2.0.79\; \rm g (two decimal places.)

3. 16.5\;\rm cm^2 (three significant figures.)

Explanation:

<h3>1.</h3>

The first and second expressions are additions and subtractions. When adding two numbers, the accuracy of the result is given by the number of decimal places in it. The result should have as many decimal places as the input with the least number of decimal places.

For example, in the first expression:

  • 5.6792\;\rm m has four decimal places.
  • 0.6\; \rm m has only one decimal place.
  • 4.33\; \rm m has two decimal places.

Therefore, the result should be rounded to one decimal place. Note that these units are compatible for addition, since they are all the same. The result should have the same unit (that is: \rm m.)

Therefore:

\rm 5.6792\; m + 0.6\; m + 4.33\; m \approx 10.6\; \rm m. (Rounded to one decimal place.)

<h3>2.</h3>

Similarly:

  • \rm 3.70\; \rm g has two decimal places.
  • 2.9133\; \rm g has four decimal places.

Therefore, the result should be rounded to two decimal places. Its unit should be \rm g (same as the unit of the two inputs.)

\rm 3.70\; g - 2.9133\; g \approx 0.79\; \rm g. (Rounded to two decimal places.)

<h3>3.</h3>

When multiplying two numbers, the accuracy of the result should be based on the number of significant figures in it. The result should have as many significant figures as the input with the least number of significant figures. In this expression:

  • 4.51\; \rm cm has three significant figures.
  • 3.6666\; \rm cm has five significant figures.

Therefore, the result should have only three significant figures.

The unit of the result is supposed to be the product of the units of the input. In this expression, that unit will be \rm cm \cdot cm, which is occasionally written as \rm cm^2.

\rm 4.51 \; cm \times 3.6666 \; cm \approx 16.5\; \rm cm^2. (Rounded to three significant figures.)

3 A soil has 70% sand, 20% silt
Kisachek [45]

Today, as part of the series of posts on soils, we are going to look at ‘soil texture’. Soil forms the basis for all life but it’s important to know about its mineral constitution as well as its biological profile.

Texture refers to the ‘feel’ of the soil. This is affected by the constituent materials found within it, specifically sand, silt and clay particles. A coarse sand will feel gritty but a wet clay will feel heavy and sticky. The texture of a soil has a direct impact on the way the soil reacts to certain environmental conditions – for example, towards drought or heavy rain (with sandy soils more freely draining).

There is a big difference in the size of the different particles.

Coarse sand = diameter 2-0.2mm

Fine sand = diameter 0.2-0.02mm

Silt = diameter 0.02-0.002mm

Clay = diameter less than 0.002mm

Note how the clay particles are much smaller than the sand particles – this is important as it means the total surface area of a clay soil is much greater and so the capacity to hold water is also much greater.

Between the sand, silt and clay particles there are lots of pores. In fact a soil as a whole is generally 45% mineral, 5% organic matter (depending on the soil) and 50% pore space through which air and water can pass.

Sand –

Made up of weathered primary rock minerals.

The particles are irregular in outline.

They are large and so do not pack together easily.

Large pore spaces in between.

Air gets in very easily and water flows rapidly through it.

Silt –

Nitrous oxide (n2o), or laughing gas, is commonly used as an anesthetic in dentistry and surgery. how many moles are present in
Gelneren [198K]

Answer is: 0.375 moles are present in 8.4 liters of nitrous oxide at stp.

V(N₂O) = 8.4 L.

V(N₂O) = n(N₂O) · Vm.

Vm = 22,4 L/mol.<span>
n</span>(N₂O) = V(N₂O) ÷ Vm.

n(N₂O) = 8.4 L ÷ 22.4 L/mol.

n(N₂O) = 0.375 mol.<span>
Vm - molare volume on STP.</span>
