Answer & Explanation:

The limiting significant figure in a calculation is our smallest figure. 1 g is one figure by using the significant figure rules. In the same manner we don't count zeros unless there is a non-zero number in front of it so .0001 g is still 1 figure.

So no we only know the unknown to one significant figure.

HELP PLEASE (Solve this problem using the appropriate law). what is the volume of 0.382 moles of hydrogen gas at 1.50 atmosphere
kaheart [24]

Answer:

V = 6.17 L

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume = ?

Number of moles = 0.382 mol

Pressure = 1.50 atm

Temperature = 295 k

R = 0.0821 L. atm. /mol. k

Solution:

According to ideal gas equation:

PV= nRT

V = nRT/P

V = 0.382 mol × 0.0821 L. atm. /mol. k ×295 k / 1.50 atm

V = 9.252  L. atm.  / 1.50 atm

V = 6.17 L

Uranium – 235 has a half-life of 713 million years. Would uranium – 235 or carbon – 14 be more useful for dating Cambrian time e
kenny6666 [7]
Uranium-235 would be more useful for dating in Cambrian time because Cambrian time was 540 million years ago while the half life of carbon-14 is only 5,730 years

Will mark as brainliest
expeople1 [14]

The answer is C

because plants use light energy from the sun to make their own food providing energy. The food created is a type of sugar.

This would make it definitely not A or D. The only answers left would be B and C but, technically the sunlight doesn't deliver the sugar straight to the plant so I'd go with C.

Hope that his helped!

Answer:

Ecological succession

Succession as progressive change in an ecological community. Primary vs. secondary succession. The idea of a climax community.

Key points

Succession is a series of progressive changes in the composition of an ecological community over time.

In primary succession, newly exposed or newly formed rock is colonized by living things for the first time.

In secondary succession, an area previously occupied by living things is disturbed—disrupted—then recolonized following the disturbance.

Introduction

Have you ever looked at a landscape with a complex, diverse community of plants and animals—such as a forest—and wondered how it came to be? Once upon a time, that land must have been empty rock, yet today, it supports a rich ecological community consisting of populations of different species that live together and interact with one another. Odds are, that didn't happen overnight!

Ecologists have a strong interest in understanding how communities form and change over time. In fact, they have spent a lot of time observing how complex communities, like forests, arise from empty land or bare rock. They study, for example, sites where volcanic eruptions, glacier retreats, or wildfires have taken place, clearing land or exposing rock.

In studying these sites over time, ecologists have seen gradual processes of change in ecological communities. In many cases, a community arising in a disturbed area goes through a series of shifts in composition, often over the course of many years. This series of changes is called ecological succession.

Succession

Ecological succession is a series of progressive changes in the species that make up a community over time. Ecologists usually identify two types of succession, which differ in their starting pExplanation:

• Draw lewis dot structures for an atom of each of following elements:
marin [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Lewis dot structures represent the symbol of an atom we're looking at and the number of valence electrons it has. This number is represented by the sum of dots around the symbol.

  • Potassium is in group 1A, this means it only has one valence electron, so we draw K with one dot in its Lewis diagram;
  • Argon is in group 8A, this means it has eight valence electrons, so we draw Ar with 8 dots around it in its Lewis diagram;
  • Silicon is in group 4A, this means it has four valence electrons, so we draw Si with 4 dots around it in its Lewis diagram;
  • Arsenic is in group 5A, this means it has five valence electrons, so we draw As with 5 dots around it in its Lewis diagram.

Those are represented in the image attached below:
