Round off 318.90 to 2 significant figures

Chemistry
1 answer:
motikmotik2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

320

Explanation:

Because the question is asking for 2 significant figures, you want to try to get rid of all of the numbers to the right of the 1. That way, the only numbers that will be significant are the numbers in the position of the 3 and the 1.

Before you can make the rest of the numbers equal 0, you need to correctly round the number in the last significant position (the number 1).

If the number to the right of the 1 is from 0-4, the number stays the same. If the number is from 5-9, the 1 needs to be increased by a unit.

Since the number to the right is an 8, you need to change the 1 to a 2. Now, you can make all of the other numbers a 0. There should be no decimal place because it would mean that the zero to the left of it is significant.

How many moles of hydrogen are present in 5.30 moles of C5H10O2, propyl acetate, the compound that provides the odor and taste o
elena-s [515]

Answer:

Option D. 53 moles.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Number of mole of C5H10O2 = 5.3 moles

Number of mole of Hydrogen in 5.3 moles of C5H10O2 =?

From the chemical formula of propyl acetate, C5H10O2,

1 mole of C5H10O2 contains 10 moles of H.

Therefore, 5.3 moles of C5H10O2 will contain = 5.3 × 10 = 53 moles of H.

Thus, 5.3 moles of C5H10O2 contains 53 moles of H.

A particular voltaic cell operates with the reaction: Zn(s)+Cl2(g)--->Zn^2+(aq)+2Cl^-(aq) giving a cell potential of .853 V.
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

The amount of energy liberated will be 49.38 J.

Explanation:

The amount of energy liberated (gibbs free energy) can be calculated using the following equation:

ΔG° = -nFε

n: amount of moles of electrons transfered

F: Faraday's constant

ε: cell potential

20.0 g of Zn is equal to 0.30 mol.

Two electrons are transfered during the reaction.

Therefore, n = 2x0.30 ∴ n = 0.60

ΔG° = - 0.60 x 96.485 x 0.853

ΔG° = 49.38 J
