Answer:

  • <u>Two signficant figures.</u>

Explanation:

You need to tell how many significant figures there are in the mass of water, which is calculated as the difference of two measures: 30.625 - 24.8.

You must round the mass of water to the least number of places in the decimal portion found in the two numbers that participate in the subtraction.

The least number of places in the decimal part corresponds to the measure 24.8 g and it is 1 decimal.

So, your answer must be rounded to 1 decimal:

  • Subtraction: 30.625 g - 24.8 g = 5.825 g
  • Round to 1 decimal: 5.8 g

Some rules that you must follow to determine how many significant figures there are in a measure are:

  •  Every non-zero digits in number are always significant.
  •   Also every zero between two significant digits are significant.
  •  Zeros in between the decimal point  and the first a non-zero decimal digit are not significant.
  • In a whole number final zeros cannot be taken as significant (e.g. it is ambiguos the number of significant digits in measures as 3,300).
  • Trailing zeros to the right of a decimal point are significant.

So, in the 5.8 you apply the first rule: non-zero digits are always significant. So, the two digits in 5.8 are significant.

Based on the information above, which statement provides evidence that a chemical reaction has occurred?
Vesna [10]

Answer: Atoms that make up reactants rearrange into new products

Explanation:

A chemical reaction is the process of breaking down the chemical bonds of the reacting substances  which are commonly called as reactants and making new bonds to form new substances commonly called as products.

The products will contain the same atoms as there are in the reactants but the bonds will rearrange to form different substances.

Every chemical reaction is accompanied with absorption or release of energy.

What is the study of acid-base chemistry called in the environment
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

An acid is a substance that donates protons (in the Brønsted-Lowry definition) or accepts a pair of valence electrons to form a bond (in the Lewis definition). A base is a substance that can accept protons or donate a pair of valence electrons to form a bond. Bases can be thought of as the chemical opposite of acids.

Which of the following threats to biodiversity is a result of cutting down forests? (4 points)
Maslowich

Answer:

Explanation:

When I was growing up, one of the most popular cartoons was a little possum whose name was Pogo. He often said

“We have met the enemy and he is us.”

It is something Pogo said more than once. We are the problem with biodiversity being threatened.

We clear land for agriculture, not only in Canada and the United States, but in places like Brazil where it matters what is done to the environment. Those trees are the planet's lungs. Whole environmental groups are devoted to stopping the harvesting of trees that are hundreds of years old.

Our oceans have become cesspools of plastic.

Our rivers have become dumping grounds for all kinds of pollutants like paint and car tires to name just a couple.

Our landscape has been cluttered by billboards advertising things that are hundreds of miles away.

There's mining, oil, and other industries that make Mother Nature shudder every time they come near her.
