Can someone point out where I'm making a mistake in this Chemistry problem?
Here is the information followed by my step by step approach to the problem. My issue is the book gives a different answer than mine. Information: The unit cell of a crystal of gold metal has a volume of 67.6 angstroms, which is a capital A with a little circle above it, cubed. What is the volume in cubic decimeters? V= 67.6 angstroms^3 Volume in dm^3 = unknown 1 angstrom = 1x10^-10 meters 1 dm = 1x10^-1 meters Step #1 My dimensional analysis: 67.6 angstroms^3 x [(1x10^-10 meters)^3 / 1 angstrom^3] x [(1x10^-1 dm)^3/ 1 meter^3] Step#2 67.6 angstroms^3 x [(1x10^-30 meters^3)/1 angstrom^3] x [(1x10^-3 dm^3)/1 meter^3] = 6.76x10^-29 meters^3 x (1x10^-3 dm^3/1 meter^3) =6.76x10^-32 dm^3, which is my final answer. However, the book says the actual answer is 6.76x10^-26. What am I doing wrong?
Okay, can someone please point out to me where in the Bible it has the "rule of thumb"?
Someone just stated that it's in there. I did a search once, and couldn't find it. Am I missing something? I'd like chapter and verse, please.
Can someone point out the metaphors in "Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night"?
Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night. Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light
How should I respond if someone points out a mistake I've made?
Everyone but your spouse: "Thank you. I will work on it."Your spouse: "This again?"Just kidding. It's a little harder to take advice from someone you spend every day with, but I tend to be more accepting of the advice of strangers. I trust my spouse totally, but when you spend your life with someone, it is better to choose your words carefully as they will become your vocabulary over time. As you spend more time with each other, you shorten sentences and give knowing glances that only the two of you can decipher. But correcting one another seems to be grounds for a world war because it can come across as being judgmental and unproductive.
