Perform the following mathematical operation, and
report the answer to the
appropriate number of
significant figures.
11.65498 + 156.325 = [?]

167.980.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since additions involving the display of the result with the appropriate number of significant figures involve the solution of the system without looking at them:

Considering that 156.325 is significant to the thousandths and 11.65498 to the hundred thousandths, we infer that the result should be taken to the thousandths as well as 156.325; thus, we obtain:

Because the second decimal nine is rounded to ten and therefore the 7 is taken to 8.

Best regards!

where's the diagram?

the enthalpy of formation of water is given as -285.8kj/mol, which states that the enthalpy of formation is negative.

negative enthalpy of formation indicates that the heat is released during the reaction process. the heat is released from reaction to the surroundings the enthalpy is expressed with a negative sign with the energy given out in the reaction process.

the formation of water takes place by giving out heat which is -285.8 kj/mol.
