Math Question... MEDAL! A scientist is conducting an experiment where he is viewing 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 helium atom. Hydrogen weighs roughly 1 AMU and helium weighs roughly 4 AMUs. An AMU is around 1.6 x 10^1 grams. He then adds 3.46 x 10^1 grams of boron. How much would his experiment items weigh in total?

*answer

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

is that correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think your question is missing the Indicies. 1.146 x 10^2 is quite large for a few atoms. Should be around 10^-27

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

sorry i just fixed it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ahh okay, lets see. I get: 1.306 x 10^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2 Hydrogen = 16 grams 1 Helium = 64 grams Boron = 34.6 grams

Nope sorry you were right God I am terrible at using calculators haha
