What is 3.311 x 10^24 in 2 sig figs?

Chemistry

Hunter-Best [27]3 years ago

Answer:

D. 3.3 x 10^24

Explanation:

In a number representing a measurement, the significant figure are those digits that have a meaningful contribution to specify the resolution of the measurement.

When a number is written in scientific notation, it is written as:

N=m \cdot 10^n

where

m is the base

n is the exponent

When a number is written in this form, the number of significant figures is the number of digits contained in m.

In this problem, our number is initially written as

3.311\cdot 10^{24}

We see that here "m" contains 4 digits, so here we have 4 significant figures.

In order to reduce it to 2 significant figures, we have to rewrite 3.311 as 3.3, therefore the new number will be:

3.3\cdot 10^{24}

Which is option D.

A gram of gasoline produces 45 kJ of energy when burned. Gasoline has a density of 0.77 g/mL. How would you calculate the amount
BigorU [14]

The energy produced in the burning of gasoline = 45 kJ/g. So, amount of energy produced by burning 48 L gasoline = 45 kJ/g×36960 g = 1663200 kJ.

What are the molecular an empirical chemical formula of a compound made up of these molecules? (Look at Photo)The line stand for
Naya [18.7K]

The molecular formula gives us the total number of atoms of the compound. To do this we are going to count each of the atoms.

We have:

C = 4

H = 8

O = 2

So, the molecular formula will be C4H8O2

The empirical formula is the simplest way to represent a molecule, we simplify taking the denominators of the molecule to its simplest form, as they are all multiplies of two we can divide everything by this number and thus we obtain the empirical formula.

So, the empirical formula will be C2H4O
