Answer:

B) 2

Explanation:

Significant figures : The figures in a number which express the value -the magnitude of a quantity to a specific degree of accuracy is known as significant digits.

The rule apply for the multiplication and division is :

The least number of significant figures in any number of the problem determines the number of significant figures in the answer.

The rule apply for the addition and subtraction is :

The least precise number present after the decimal point determines the number of significant figures in the answer.

(3.478-2.31) = 1.168 ≅ 1.17 (Rounded to least decimal digit)

(4.428-3.56) = 0.868 ≅ 0.87 (Rounded to least decimal digit)

So,

1.17 * 0.87 = 1.0  (Rounded to least significant)

Answer - two significant digits

The small bags of silica gel you often see in a new shoe box are placed there to control humidity. Despite its name, silica gel
Zinaida [17]

So we look equation for the free Gibbs free energy (ΔG) which depends on entalpy (ΔH), temperature (T) and entropy (ΔS):

ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

ΔG is negative (-) because the water absorption on the silica gel surface is a spontaneous process.

ΔH is negative (-) because the water absorption on the silica gel surface is a exothermic process (it releases heat and if you want to desorb the water form the silica gen you need to add heat which is a endothermic process).

ΔS is negative (-) because the water is adsorbed, so from disorderly state you take the water molecules and put them in a orderly state and by doing that you decrease the entropy.

Where two air masses and do not mix
yulyashka [42]
When two air masses meet together, the boundary between the two is called a weather front. At a front, the two air masses have different densities, based on temperature, and do not easily mix. One air mass is lifted above the other, creating a low pressure zone.

How do you simplify 2/4
Juli2301 [7.4K]
The answer is 1/2 because of how many times does 2 go into 2 which is 1 and how many times 2 can go into 4 which is 2. So 1 would go on top and the 2 would go on the bottom

Tooth enamel is ca5(po4)3(oh). calculate the percent composition of the elements present.
Mama L [17]
We shall find the molar mass first.  
Ca5(PO4)3(OH) = (40 * 5) + 3 (31 + 4(16)) + 16 + 1 = 200 + 285 + 17 = 485 + 17 = 502. 
Percent of Calcium = 200/ 502 * 100 = 39.8%
 Percent of Phosphorus = 91/502 * 100 = 18.1%
 Percent of Hydrogen = 1/502 * 100 = 0.19%
 Percent of Oxygen = 100 - (39.8 + 18.1 + 0.19) = 41.91%
