In chemistry, 6.022× 1023 is an important number called the Avogadro constant (or Avogadro\'s number). It expresses the number of atoms or molecules in a mole. Notice that it is a really, really big number, as indicated by scientific notation with a large positive exponent. Enter 6.022× 1023 into the calculator shown here. Then, by trial and error, find the largest number that can be added to 6.022× 1023 without changing its displayed value (as shown on the screen).

Answer:

4.4x10¹⁹

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

In this case, if we consider the four significant figures Avogadro's number has, the maximum number that can be added without changing the displayed value is 4.4x10¹⁹ as the result will be:


6.022x10^(23)+4.4x10^(19)=6.02244x10^(23)

Even when the value changes, the added fours do not round the last two of the Avogadro's number, thus, it will remain technically the same.

Best regards.

Avogadro's number is resented by the value of 6.022× 10²³ atoms per mole. It is made by Amedeo Avogadro, an Italian mathematical physicist. When we enter 6.022× 1023 into the calculator, the largest number that can be added to 6.022× 1023 without changing its displayed value is 10 x 1023.
