3 0

The significant figures will be 1.

As, weight of acetylsalicylic acid = 0. 4 g

We obtain 400 mg when we convert 0.4g of acetylsalicylic acid to mg.

So, 400 milligrams are worth 0.4 grams when converted to grams.

There is just one significant figure because 0 before a decimal is not significant i.e. 4.

<h3><u>What are significant figures?</u></h3>

The digits of a number that have relevance in relation to the measurement's resolution are known as significant figures. Additionally known as significant figures in chemistry. All experimental measurements are subject to some degree of uncertainity.

Calculate the grams of so2 gas present at stp in a 5.9 l container.
nata0808 [166]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of sulfur dioxide gas at STP for given amount is 16.8 g

<u>Explanation:</u>

At STP conditions:

22.4 L of volume is occupied by 1 mole of a gas.

So, 5.9 L of volume will be occupied by = \frac{1mol}{22.4L}\times 5.9L=0.263mol

Now, to calculate the mass of a substance, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Moles of sulfur dioxide gas = 0.263 mol

Molar mass of sulfur dioxide gas = 64 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.263mol=\frac{\text{Mass of sulfur dioxide gas}}{64g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of sulfur dioxide gas}=(0.263mol\times 64g/mol)=16.8g

Hence, the mass of sulfur dioxide gas at STP for given amount is 16.8 g

Is burning of coal a reversible change???<br> If yes how?
koban [17]
I don't think so. No way that I know anyway. It it could be done then the need for more coal to be mined would have stopped hundreds of years ago. Once coal is burned, it forms water and carbon dioxide (essentially) with some sulfur oxides. 

How do you put that back together again. It's a little like humpty dumpty.

A 2.4L balloon filled with helium at room temperature 25oC is put into liquid nitrogen
Stels [109]

Answer:

V₂ = 0.62 L

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume = 2.4 L

Initial temperature = 25°C

Final temperature = -196°C

Final volume = ?

Solution:

Initial temperature = 25°C (25+273 = 298 K)

Final temperature = -196°C ( -196+273 = 77 K)

The given problem will be solve through the Charles Law.

According to this law, The volume of given amount of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant number of moles and pressure.

Mathematical expression:

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

V₁ = Initial volume

T₁ = Initial temperature

V₂ = Final volume  

T₂ = Final temperature

Now we will put the values in formula.

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

V₂ = V₁T₂/T₁  

V₂ = 2.4 L × 77 K / 298 k

V₂ = 184.8 L.K / 298 K

V₂ = 0.62 L
