The value of the given expression up to correct significant figures is $330 m^2$ .

The rule that applies for the multiplication and division is :

The least number of significant figures in any number of the problem determines the number of significant figures in the answer.

The rule that applies for the addition and subtraction is :

The least precise number present after the decimal point determines the number of significant figures in the answer.

Given:

The expression: (23.4m)(14m)

To find:

The answer up to correct a number of significant figures.

Solution

Number of significant figures in '23.4' = 3

Number of significant figures in '14' = 22

$=(23.4m)(14m)\\=(23.4m)\times (14m)\\=327.6 m^2$

The number with the least significant figures is '14' is 2, so the answer will be reported up to 2 significant figures:

$=327.6 m^2\approx 330 m^2$

Number of significant figures in '330' = 3

The value of the given expression up to correct significant figures is $330 m^2$ .

Which is the correct Lewis structure for carbon monoxide?

LuckyWell [14K]

<span>The Lewis structure for CO has 10 valence electrons. For the CO Lewis structure you'll need a triple bond between the Carbon and Oxygen atoms in order to satisfy the octets of each atom while still using the 10 valence electrons available for the CO molecule.</span>

4. An 82 kg hiker climbs Mt. Humphrey near Flagstaff. During a two hour period, the hiker's

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

$\Delta E = 434253.96\,J$ , $\Delta P = 60.313\,W$

Explanation:

The change in energy is given by the change in gravitational potential energy:

$\Delta E = m\cdot g \cdot \Delta h$

$\Delta E = (82\,kg)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot (540\,m)$

$\Delta E = 434253.96\,J$

The average rate of change in terms of time is approximately this:

$\Delta P = \frac{\Delta E}{\Delta t}$

$\Delta P = \frac{434253.96\,J}{(2\,h)\cdot (\frac{3600\,s}{1\,h} )}$

$\Delta P = 60.313\,W$

A gas occupies 56 L at 73°C. What volume will the gas occupy if the temp. cools to 0°C?

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

44.2 L

Explanation:

Use Charles Law:

$\frac{V1}{T1} =\frac{V2}{T2}$

We have all the values except for V₂; this is what we're solving for. Input the values:

$\frac{56 L}{346K} =\frac{V2}{273K}$ - make sure that your temperature is in Kelvin

From here, we need to get V₂ by itself. To do this, multiply by 273 on both sides:

$\frac{56*273}{346} = V2$

Therefore, V₂ = 44.2 L

It's also helpful to know that temperature and volume are linearly related. So, when temperature drops, so will volume and vice versa.

Explain how to use a graph to show whether or not the speed of an object is constant.

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

A horizontal line on a speed-time graph represents a constant speed. A sloping line on a speed-time graph represents an acceleration. The sloping line shows that the speed of the object is changing. The object is either speeding up or slowing down.

Why is a phenol more acidic than a regular alcohol? Group of answer choices

Aleks [24]

Answer:

a.Phenols have the ability to spread out the negative charge that forms.

Explanation:

This happens because of the aromatic ring the phenols have. When loosing the proton, the anion formed have different resonance isomers due to the double bonds in the aromatic ring. This resonance makes the anion more stable and prevents the reaction going backwards.

On the other hand, regular alcohol doesn't have resonace and the reaction of loosing the proton goes leftward and righward: is in equilibrium.

That equilibrium decreases the acidity of the alcohol.
