Explanation:

The scientific notation:

a\times10^k

where

1\leq a and k is integer.

We have the example:

(5\times10^3)+(4.3\times10^4)

You can write the numbers in a "normal" form:

5\times10^3=5\times1000=5000\\\\4.3\times10^4=4.3\times10000=43000

Make the sum:

5000+43000=48000

And next write it in the scientific notation:

48000=4\underbrace{8000}_{\leftarrow4}=4.8000\times10000=4.8\times10^4

<h3>Other method:</h3>

You can add numbers in scientific notation if the power of tens in both number is the same.

Therefore you must convert the first number:

5\times10^3=0.5\times10\times10^3=0.5\times10^4

Now, you can make the sum:

(5\times10^3)+(4.3\times10^4)=0.5\times10^4+4.3\times10^4=(0.5+4.3)\times10^4=4.8\times10^4

Find [H+] of a 0.056 M hydrofluoric acid solution. Ka = 1.45 x 10-7
brilliants [131]

Answer:  [H^+] of 0.056 M HF solution is 8.96\times 10^{-5}

Explanation:

HF\rightarrow H^+F^-

 cM              0             0

c-c\alpha        c\alpha          c\alpha  

So dissociation constant will be:

K_a=\frac{(c\alpha)^{2}}{c-c\alpha}

Give c= 0.056 M and \alpha = ?

K_a=1.45\times 10^{-7}

Putting in the values we get:

1.45\times 10^{-7}=\frac{(0.056\times \alpha)^2}{(0.056-0.056\times \alpha)}

(\alpha)=0.0016

[H^+]=c\times \alpha

[H^+]=0.056\times 0.0016=8.96\times 10^{-5}  

Thus [H^+] of 0.056 M HF solution is 8.96\times 10^{-5}

Answer:

Early-warning systems are essential in the case of hurricanes, severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, tsunamis, and volcanoes. All of these can wreak havoc! Let’s take a look at how meteorologists forecast these events and how early-warning systems can help us protect ourselves if we are in their paths.

Refraction occurs when the speed of light changes as it travels between mediums.<br><br><br> T<br> F
Mariana [72]

The answer is true

Refraction is an effect that occurs when a light wave, incident at an angle away from the normal, passes a boundary from one medium into another in which there is a change in velocity of the light.The wavelength decreases as the light enters the medium and the light wave changes direction.
