8 0

Answer:

Non-zero digits are always significant.

Any zeros between two significant digits are significant.

A final zero or trailing zeros in the decimal portion ONLY are significant. If a number ends in zeros to the right of the decimal point, those zeros are significant.

Explanation:

1.138 has 4 significant figures, which are 1, 1, 3 and 8. The numbers after the decimal point are decimals and are significant figures.

When the temperature of a gas in a rigid container decreases, the particles of the gas move slower and experience fewer collisio

4vir4ik [10]

When the temperature of a gas within a rigid container decreases, the particles on average move more slowly and do not collide with one another or the container walls as often. It is the the ideal gas law that applies in this situation and states that a decrease in the temperature of a gas also results in a decrease in the pressure. Thus, automobile tyres which have a colder gas in the winter sometimes need additional air to provide suffiicient pressure.

Answer:

hope it helps...

Explanation:

Along the third type of plate boundary, two plates move laterally and pass each other along giant fractures in Earth's crust. Transform faults are so named because they are linked to other types of plate boundaries. The majority of transform faults link the offset segments of oceanic ridges.

A gas with a volume of 250 mL at a temperature of 293K is heated to 324K. What is the new volume of the gas?

Natalija [7]

Answer:

The new volume of the gas is 276.45 mL.

Explanation:

Charles's law indicates that for a given sum of gas at constant pressure, as the temperature increases, the volume of the gas increases, and as the temperature decreases, the volume of the gas decreases.

Charles's law is a law that mathematically says that when the amount of gas and pressure are kept constant, the quotient that exists between the volume and the temperature will always have the same value:

$\frac{V}{T} =k$
