The density of oxygen is approximately 1.429 grams per cubic centimeter. In scientific notation, this is expressed as:
1.429 × 10^0 grams per cubic centimeter (since any number to the zero power is 1).
However, if we round it or represent it for significant figures, we can use other options for powers of ten. The given options seem to be intended to confuse. The appropriate scientific notation should look like:
**A: 1.429 × 10^0** is not provided in the options.
To clarify which answer choice is likely intended based on the density of oxygen, please review the options listed:
- A: 1.429×10^−3
- B: 1.429×10^2
- C: 1.429×10^3
- D: 1.429×10^−2
None of these options correctly represent the scientific notation of the common density of oxygen. The value should be closest to ‘1.429 × 10^0’.
If you need any further clarification or exploration, feel free to ask!
