Answer:

Number of Significant Figures: 3

The Significant Figures are 3 0 5

This is because the three zeros are considered trailing zeros because they're not between two numbers or after. Zeros attached to the beginning of a number in this way are called leading zeros. In decimals, this idea of zeros that don't add value to a number can be extended to trailing zeros. A trailing zero is any zero that appears to the right of both the decimal point and every digit other than zero.

Explanation:

Trailing zeros (zeros after non-zero numbers) in a number without a decimal are generally not significant (see below for more details). For example, 400 has only one significant figure (4). The trailing zeros do not count as significant. Trailing zeros in a number containing a decimal point are significant.

Of all the hydrogen in the oceans, 0.0300 % of the mass is deuterium. The oceans have a volume of 319 million mi³. If nuclear fusion were controlled and all the deuterium in the oceans were fused to ⁴₂He, the joules of energy released is E = 6.912× $10^-^1^2$ J

<h3>How is the energy in joules calculated for a controlled nuclear fusion with all the deuterium in oceans fused to ⁴₂He?</h3>

Given the percentage of hydrogen in the ocean = 0.300%

Volume of the ocean = 319 million mi³

Total volume of the ocean, V = 319 × $10^6$ mi³

V = 1.330× $10^1^8$ $m^3$

Density of water = 1000 kg/ $m^3$

Avogadro's number =6.022 × $10^2^3$

There are two hydrogen atoms in a water molecule

Molar mass of Hydrogen =2.016× $10^-^3$ kg/mole

Molar mass of deuterium molecule = 4.028204 × $10^-^3$ kg/mole

Total mass of sea = Volume × Density

= 1.330 × $10^2^1$ kg

Total number of water molecules available in the given mass of water =

[Mass of sea water / Molar mass of water] × Avogadro's number

= 4.446 × $10^4^6$

Total mass of hydrogen in the given mass of water =

[Number of water molecules × Molar mass of hydrogen molecule] / Avogadro's number

= 1.488 × $10^2^0$ kg

Total mass of deuterium in the calculated mass of hydrogen =

Mass of hydrogen × [ density / 100] =

4.464 × $10^1^6$ kg

Total number of deuterium atoms available=

[Total mass of deuterium / Molar mass of deuterium molecule] × Avogadro's number × 2 = 1.335 × $10^4^6$

The combined process consumes 6 deuterium atoms and produces two helium atoms and a total of

E = 43.2× $10^6$ eV of energy.

Therefore the energy release in the consumption of 6 atoms

E=43.2× $10^6$ ×1.6× $10^1^9$ $10^-^1^9$

E=6.912× $10^-^1^2$ J

What are the units of work?

aleksandrvk [35]

In the case of work (and also energy), the standard metric unit is the Joule (abbreviated J). One Joule is equivalent to one Newton of force causing a displacement of one meter. In other words, The Joule is the unit of work (if that helped any!)
