1) START counting for sig. figs. On the FIRST non-zero digit.

2) STOP counting for sig. figs. On the LAST non-zero digit.

3) Non-zero digits are ALWAYS significant.

4) Zeroes in between two non-zero digits are significant. All other zeroes are insignificant.

If gas is truly to be classified as a form of matter this means it can be measured. What form of gas can be measured?

juin [17]

Answer:

Gas is sometimes measured in cubic feet at a temperature of 60 degrees Fahrenheit and an atmospheric pressure of 14.7 pounds per square inch. Gas production from wells is discussed in terms of thousands or millions of cubic feet (Mcf and MMcf). Resources and reserves are calculated in trillions of cubic feet (Tcf).

Protozoan infection is not likely to be transmitted by:

Hi!

The answer is breathing.

Protozoans are organisms that can multiply themselves in humans, and serious infections can develop from one organism. The most frequently transmission methods are contaminated food or fecal contact. Dog bites inoculate bacteria into deep tissue, and they also serve as a transmission method.

Breathing is not considered to be likely to transmit protozoan infection because protozoans rarely develop in the respiratory tract.
