The number displayed on the calculator, 3.28E12, is already in scientific notation. It can be interpreted as:

\[ 3.28 \times 10^{12} \]

This means 3.28 multiplied by 10 raised to the 12th power. In standard decimal form, this number is:

3,280,000,000,000.

So, the number 3.28E12 in scientific notation is \( 3.28 \times 10^{12} \).

In chemistry class, Carlos calculated the number of molecules in 100 moles. The calculator displayed the number 6.02E25. What is the number of molecules in 100 moles in scientific notation?

thamk you

The number displayed on the calculator, 6.02E25, is already in scientific notation. It can be written as:

\[ 6.02 \times 10^{25} \]

This means 6.02 multiplied by 10 raised to the 25th power.

Thus, the number of molecules in 100 moles, expressed in scientific notation, is \( 6.02 \times 10^{25} \).
