Answer:
The result is 3.859 in which we use four significant figures.
Explanation:
We start by solving the mathematical operation :
The result for the operation is 3.859438 but the numbers in the operation are given with four significant figures and that is why we are going to use four significant figures to express the result
To express 3.859438 with four significant figures we use the first four digits that appear from left to right starting by the first digit that is different to zero
In this case : 3.859 will be the result with four significant figures.
We also use a rule that says : To decide if the last significant figure remains the same we look for the value of the digit at its right.
If that number is greater than or equal to 5 ⇒ we sum one to the last significant figure
For example 3.859738 = 3.860 with four significant figures because the ''7'' is greater that 5
If that number is less than 5 ⇒ the last significant figure remains the same
In our case : 3.859438 = 3.859 because ''4'' is less than ''5''
Answer:
Lower
Explanation:
Surface tension occurs because molecules at the surface do not have molecules above them, so they cohere more strongly to their neighbours.
The stronger cohesive forces make it more difficult to move an object through the surface than when it is beneath the surface.
The attractive forces in water are strong because of hydrogen bonding.
A hexane molecule is nonpolar, so the only attractions are the weak London dispersion forces.
The cohesive forces at the surface are much lower than those in water, so the surface tension of hexane is lower than that of water at the sane temperature.
