Scientists often have to deal with numbers that are either very large or very small. For example, the radius of the Sun is approximately 696,000 kilometers, while bacterial cells are as small as 1.9 × 10-4 millimeters. Express each number in an alternate form.

a 20-cm-long, cylindrical graphite (pure carbon) rod is inserted into an oxidizing atmosphere at 1145 k and 1.013 x 105 pa pressure. the oxidizing process is limited by the diffu- sion of oxygen counterflow to the carbon monoxide that is formed on the cylindrical surface.
