States of Matter
The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).
Chemical Reactions and Equations
When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.
![**Problem Statement:**

In the image, there's an input box for entering your answer. Adjacent to it, there is a panel with selectable unit symbols that include options like "×10", "μ" (micro), and others, presumably for formatting the numeric answer with the appropriate scientific units or prefixes.
**Explanation:**
To solve the problem, you can use the formula for electric charge:
\[ Q = I \times t \]
Where:
- \( Q \) is the electric charge in coulombs (C),
- \( I \) is the current in amperes (A),
- \( t \) is the time in seconds (s).
1. Convert the current from milliamperes to amperes:
\[ 155.0 \, \text{mA} = 0.1550 \, \text{A} \]
2. Convert the time from minutes to seconds:
\[ 42.0 \, \text{minutes} = 42.0 \times 60 = 2520 \, \text{seconds} \]
3. Calculate the charge:
\[ Q = 0.1550 \, \text{A} \times 2520 \, \text{s} = 390.6 \, \text{C} \]
Ensure your final answer has three significant digits and includes the correct unit symbol.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F43c41e7b-d1fd-4f8b-969d-dea9b3b3fd4e%2F26031507-0fa5-4331-a8dc-e9ba042cb7af%2Fd5d1t9j_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
