948 or 9.48 x 10^2
There are two sets of rules for significant figures
• One set for addition and subtraction
• Another set for multiplication and division
You used the set for multiplication and division.
This problem involves addition and subtraction, and the rule is
The number of places after the decimal point in the answer must be <em>no greater than the number of decimal places in every term</em> in the sum.
Thus, we have
78.9
+890.43
-21.
= 948.33
The "21" term has the fewest digits after the decimal point (none), so the answer must have no digits after the decimal point.
To the correct answer is 948 = 9.48 x 10^2. It has three significant figures.
Potential energy can be calculated by the formula Pe=mgh. Plug in your values:
Pe=mgh
Pe=(6 kg)(9.8m/s^2)(100 m)
Pe=5880 kg x m^2/s^2, or 5880 Joules
Answer:
Oceans, Fossil fuels, atmosphere
Answer:
Increasing the temperature increases reaction rates because of the disproportionately large increase in the number of high energy collisions. It is only these collisions (possessing at least the activation energy for the reaction) which result in a reaction.
Explanation:
Magnesium nitride weighs 100.95 g/mol
133/100.95 = 1.32 mols
