Answer:

Average = 63.6

Explanation:

Average : The average of the given set of points can be calculated by dividing sum of the total point to the number of points.

Average =\frac{Sum\ of\ points}{Number\  of\ points}

The points that are given in this equation are:

83.2 , 44.6 , 74.4 , 52.3 .

These are 4 in number . So average is

Average =\frac{Sum\ of\ points}{Number\  of\ points}

Average =\frac{83.2+44.6+74.4+52.3}{4}

Average =\frac{254.5}{4}

Average =63.625

Significant digits : It is the number of digits that carry meaningful value to a measurement. The rules for counting number of significant digits are:

1. all non-zero digit are significant

2.Any zero between two non-zero are also significant.(305 = 3 significant digit )

3. Zero before the decimal are non-significant (0.003 = only 1 significant digit)

Zero after decimal are significant (3.00 has 3 significant digit)

4.Zero after non - zero digit is non significant (300 has 1 significant digit).

Significant digits in division :

The answer should have the significant digits that are least in any of number(83.2 , 44.6 , 74.4 , 52.3 )

All have = 3 significant digits.

So least numner of significant digit =3

Answer should have total = 3 significant digits

So,

Average = 63.6

The Earth is always _______ as it revolves around the sun.
EastWind [94]

Answer

Rotating

Explanation:

The Earth is always being pulled towards the Sun by gravity.

The Earth is not moving fast enough to "escape" the Sun's gravity and leave the solar system, but it is going too fast to be pulled into the Sun. Therefore, it keeps going around and around( roating)- orbiting the Sun.

The chemical formula for magnesium oxide is MgO. A chemist determined by measurements that 0.030 moles of magnesium oxide partic
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

1.209g of MgO participates

Explanation:

In this problem, we have 0.030 moles of MgO that participates in a particular reaction.

And we are asked to solve for the mass of MgO that participates, that means, we need to convert moles to grams.

To convert moles to grams we need to use molar mass of the compound:

<em>1 atom of Mg has a molar mass of 24.3g/mol</em>

<em>1 atom of O has a molar mass of 16g/mol</em>

<em />

That means molar mass of MgO is 24.3g/mol + 16g/mol = 40.3g/mol

And mass of 0.030 moles of MgO is:

0.030 moles MgO * (40.3g/mol) =

<h3>1.209g of MgO participates</h3>
