The following statements pertain to the development of the theory of combustion by the French chemist Lavoisier in the eighteenth century. Match the statement with the appro- priate step (observation, hypothesis, experiment designed to test hypothesis) in the scientific method. (a) A metal is burned in a closed container, and the change in mass of the solid and volume of the gas is measured.(b) Oxygen gas combines with a substance during its combustion.(c) Combustion of a metal in a closed container ceases after a length of time.
2. Perform the indicated operations and give answers in the indicated unit and with the proper number of significant figures. (a) 113.137g-2.047 g 50.0 mL-37.40 mL (in g/mL) (b) 25.50 g +462 mg + 0.0100 kg (in g) (c) 0.900 mm * 0.8750 cm * 0.0031489 m (in cm³)
1(a) Convert the number 0.0000735 to scientific notation. (b) Round off the number 24.15725 to the hundredths place. (c) Convert the number 5.31 x 10³ from scientific notation to regular number. 2a) Take a look at the image, and answer the following questions. 2 3 4 (i) What is the correct length of the red tape? (ii) The number of significant figures in the measurement is (iii) Convert this length to meters(m) and inches(in). Show complete calculations. 2b) The actual mass of a glass marble was recorded as 5.3076 g. When a student measured the mass three times the results were recorded as 5.2987g , 5.3197 g and 5.2078 g Which one of the results can be considered accurate and why? 3(i) The density of copper is 8.92 g/em'. What is the mass(in grams) of a piece of copper which has a length of 3.16 cm, width of 2.74 cm and height of 1.88 cm?
