Question

A mixture contains 3.7 × 10–6 grams of carbon powder and 0.000092 grams of ammonium carbonate.

Answer 1

Answer:

The difference in the amounts of carbon powder and ammonium carbonate is $88.3\times 10^{-6}$ grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to this statement, we have a mixture with $3.7\times 10^{-6}$ grams of carbon powder and $92\times 10^{-6}$ grams of ammonium carbonate. The difference between those amounts consist in subtracting the latter quantity for the former one. That is:

$\Delta m = 92\times 10^{-6}\,g \,-\,3.7\times 10^{-6}\,g$

$\Delta m = 88.3\times 10^{-6}\,g$

The difference in the amounts of carbon powder and ammonium carbonate is $88.3\times 10^{-6}$ grams.
