Question

chemistry: scientific notation
part a: express each of the following in decimal form.

1. 5.2 x 10^3

Explanation:

Step1: Recall scientific - notation rule

The scientific notation $a\times10^{n}$ where $n$ is a positive integer means moving the decimal point of $a$ $n$ places to the right.

Step2: Move the decimal point

For $5.2\times10^{3}$, since $n = 3$, we move the decimal point of $5.2$ three places to the right. So $5.2\times10^{3}=5200$.

Answer:

5200
