Perform the following calculations and report each answer with the correct number of significant figures. a. 628 × 342 b. 5.45 – 2.3 c. 28.0/13.483
d. 14.98 + 27,340 + 84.7593

Answers are given below

Explanation:

Significant figures:

When we add or subtract the values the number of significant figures after decimal in result must be equal to the given measurement having less number of decimal places.

b) 5.45 -2.3

3.2

d) 14.98 + 27,340 + 84.7593

27439.74

When we multiply or divide the values the number of significant figures must be equal to the less number of significant figures in given value.

a) 628 × 342

214776

we will round off this value into 3 significant figures.

215000

c) 28.0/13.483

2.08

"among the transition metal elements, manganese and zinc have a slight lowering of electronegativities. the reason behind this is that the nuclear charges of these elements are slightly weaker than the other transition metal elements due to the way their valence electrons are filled up. both manganese and zinc have their valence electrons filled up to the 4th shell with 1 pair of electrons (4s2) completely occupying it. although the electrons in the 3rd shell (3d) are yet to be paired since the outer most shell is filled up, the ability of the nucleus to attract electrons is lessened. hence,   the electronegativity (or the ability to attract electrons) is lessened."

cytokinesis is the splitting of a cell membrane to form 2 identical daughter cells. it's similar to mitosis as both cells have identical copies of dna and cytokinesis is a step in the mitotic cycle.
