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

What is the difference in the amounts of carbon powder and ammonium carbonate?

Respuesta :

Answer:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

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

[tex]\Delta m = 92\times 10^{-6}\,g \,-\,3.7\times 10^{-6}\,g[/tex]

[tex]\Delta m = 88.3\times 10^{-6}\,g[/tex]

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