Number of significant figures will be 1

Given:

weight of acetylsalicylic acid = 0. 4g

To Find:

significant figures

Solution: Significant figures are the digits of value which carry meaning towards the resolution of the measurement. They are also called significant figures in chemistry. All the experimental measurements have some kind of uncertainty associated with them.

When we convert 0.4g acetylsalicylic acid to mg we get value 400mg

when we convert 400mg to gram we get value of 0.4 gram

Since 0 before a decimal is not significant so there is only one significant figure that is 4

Which spectroscopic tool would be best for distinguishing a sample of 1,2,2-tribromopropane from 1,1,2-tribromopropane?
12345 [234]

1-H NMR spectroscopy tool will be used for distinguishing a sample of 1,2,2-tribromopropane from 1,1,2-tribromopropane.

The preferred method for determining or validating the structure of organic molecules or those containing protons is H NMR. When compared to other nuclei, a solution-state proton spectrum may be obtained relatively quickly, and it contains a wealth of knowledge regarding a compound's structure.

It can be calculated by simply counting the number of unique hydrogens on one side of the symmetry plane will give you the count of signals individual molecules emit in a 1H NMR spectrum.

Therefore, 1-H NMR spectroscopy tool will be used for distinguishing a sample of 1,2,2-tribromopropane from 1,1,2-tribromopropane.

What are the stages of the life cycle of the sun
Jet001 [13]
The Sun is currently a main sequence star and will remain so for another 4-5 billion years. It will then expand and cool to become a red giant, after which it will shrink and heat up again to become a white dwarf. The white dwarf star will run out of nuclear fuel and slowly cool down over many billions of years.

You dissolve 8.65 grams of lead(l) nitrate in water and then you add 2 50 grams of aluminum. This reaction occurs 2AI(S)+ 3Pb(NO
olga55 [171]

<u>Answer:</u> The theoretical yield of solid lead comes out to be 5.408 grams.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the moles, we use the following equation:  

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

  • <u>Moles of Lead nitrate:</u>

Given mass of lead nitrate = 8.65 grams

Molar mass of lead nitrate = 331.2 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{8.65g}{331.2g/mol}=0.0261moles

  • <u>Moles of Aluminium:</u>

Given mass of aluminium = 2.5 grams

Molar mass of aluminium = 27 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{2.5g}{27g/mol}=0.0925moles

For the given chemical reaction, the equation follows:

2AI(s)+3Pb(NO_3)_2(aq.)\rightarrow 3Pb(s)+2AI(NO3)_3(aq.

By Stoichiometry:

3 moles of lead nitrate reacts with 2 moles of aluminium

So, 0.0261 moles of lead nitrate are produced by = \frac{2}{3}\times 0.0261=0.0174moles of aluminium.

As, the required amount of aluminium is less than the given amount. Hence, it is considered as the excess reagent.

Lead nitrate is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

3 moles of lead nitrate are produces 3 moles of lead metal.

So, 0.0261 moles of lead nitrate will produce = \frac{3}{3}\times 0.0261=0.0261moles of lead metal.

  • Now, to calculate the grams or theoretical yield of lead metal, we put in the mole's equation, we get:

Molar mass of lead = 207.2 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.0261mol=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{207.2g/mol}

Mass of lead = 5.408 grams

Hence, the theoretical yield of solid lead comes out to be 5.408 grams.

3) A child has a toy balloon with a volume of 1.8 liters. The temperature of the balloon when it was filled was 22° C and the pr
mestny [16]

This is a combined gas law problem, according to which

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

where P is the pressure of the gas, V is the volume of the gas, and T is the temperature of the gas, and the subscripts 1 and 2 correspond to the initial and final conditions of the gas. In this problem, we are given the initial pressure, volume, and temperature of the gas in the balloon:

P₁ = 1.0 atm

V₁ = 1.8 L

T₁ = 295.15 K (K = °C + 273.15).

Moreover, we are given the final pressure and temperature of the gas in the balloon.

P₂ = 0.86 atm

T₂ = 281.15 K.

What we want to find is the final volume, V₂, which we can obtain by rearranging the combined gas equation to solve for V₂:

V_2=\frac{P_1V_1T_2}{T_1P_2} = \frac{(1.0 \text{ atm})(1.8 \text{ L})(281.15 \text{ K})}{(295.15 \text{ K})(0.86 \text{ atm})} \\ V_2 = 1.99 \text{ L}

This answer has three significant figures. However, the question as written would warrant an answer that comprises one significant figure (as 8 °C has only one sig fig). In that case, the answer would be 2 L. If the answer is to be given to two significant figures, the volume would then be 2.0 L.
