Help....im having to help my daughter with some molecular weight homework and I dont have a text book or a scientific calculator to assist me. I need someone to tell me what 5.60 x 10 to the 22nd is and also 2.35 x 10 to the 24th. if i have those numbers , I can help her compute the molecular weights of the compounds...thanks so much

Since you are looking for molecular weight, those numbers are probably how many atoms you have of a particular substance, but I am not sure. However, in order to figure out molecular weight, you also need to know how much the samples weigh, if I am correctly identifying the other numbers.

As far as "telling you what the numbers are", they are just that: numbers. 5.6*10 to the 24th is 56000000...(23 zeros in all), and so on.

You need more information to solve the problem.

5.60 x 10 to the 22nd and also 2.35 x 10 to the 24th.

56,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
2,350,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
