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.

Answer:

C) the study of the composition of the atom.

Explanation:

A research can be defined as a systematic investigation or careful consideration of study with respect to a particular problem using scientific methods such as collection of data, documenting critical information, analysis of data, and the establishment of facts in order to reach new conclusions.

Similarly, a basic research is an approach to research that's typically theoritical and it's aimed at developing a theory, searching for the truth or gain a better understanding about a phenomenon, subject, or basic laws on nature.

In this context, an example of basic research is the study of the composition of the atom.

An atom can be defined as the smallest unit comprising of matter that forms all chemical elements. Thus, atoms are basically the building blocks of matters and as such determines or defines the structure of a chemical element.

Generally, atoms are typically made up of three distinct particles and these are protons, neutrons and electrons.

When the following equation is balanced using the smallest possible integers, what is the number in front of the substance in bo
weeeeeb [17]

The balanced equation :

8Al + 3Fe₃O₄→ 4Al₂O₃ + 9Fe

You just have to look for which element is in bold because the question is not clear

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Equalization of chemical reaction equations can be done using variables. Steps in equalizing the reaction equation:

1. gives a coefficient on substances involved in the equation of reaction such as a, b, or c etc.

2. make an equation based on the similarity of the number of atoms where the number of atoms = coefficient × index between reactant and product

3. Select the coefficient of the substance with the most complex chemical formula equal to 1

Reaction

Al + Fe₃O₄→ Al₂O₃ + Fe

give a coefficient

aAl + Fe₃O₄→ bAl₂O₃ + cFe

O, left=4, right=3b⇒3b=4⇒b=4/3

Al, left=a, right=2b⇒a=2b⇒a=2.4/3⇒a=8/3

Fe, left=3, right=c⇒c=3

The equation becomes :

8/3Al + Fe₃O₄→ 4/3Al₂O₃ + 3Fe x3

8Al + 3Fe₃O₄→ 4Al₂O₃ + 9Fe
