Answer: 4

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.

Rules for significant figures:

Digits from 1 to 9 are always significant and have infinite number of significant figures.

All non-zero numbers are always significant. For example: 654, 6.54 and 65.4 all have three significant figures.

All zero’s between integers are always significant. For example: 5005, 5.005 and 50.05 all have four significant figures.

All zero’s preceding the first integers are never significant. For example: 0.0078 has two significant figures.

All zero’s after the decimal point are always significant. For example: 4.500, 45.00 and 450.0 all have four significant figures.

All zeroes used solely for spacing the decimal point are not significant. For example : 8000 has one significant figure.

Thus 1.090 has four significant figures as all the digits are significant.

Noah and Nina are 15 m apart in a closed room. Noah says the same sentence twice. The first time, Nina does not hear the sound,
In-s [12.5K]

The air molecules in the compressions of the second wave are denser, so the sound is louder.

<h3>What is a sound wave?</h3>

Sound waves are longitudinal waves that travel through a medium like air or water.

In a closed room, Noah and Nina are sitting 15 m apart.

As Noah says the same sentence twice, Nina does not hear the sound the first time but she does hear the sentence the second time.

This happens as the air molecules in the compressions of the second wave are denser. As a result, the sound is louder.

The correct option is ''The air molecules in the compressions of the second wave are denser, so the sound is louder''.

Calculate moles of oxygen atoms in 0.68mol of KMnO4
Dominik [7]
Alright, so that means we have 0.68 mol of the compound


For each 1 mol of the compound, we have 4*1 oxygens (because there are four oxygens in the formula)
Therefore for each 0.68 mol of the compound, we have 4*0.68 moles of oxygen!
