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

A certain radioactive atom has 90 protons and 142 neutrons. If this atom undergoes alpha decay, what is the mass number of the d
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

228

Explanation:

alpha decay is removing alpha particle _2^{4}He

2 number of protons, 4 mass number = 2 protons + 2 neutrons

We have

      90 protons and 142 neutrons

<u>       - 2 protons         -  2 neutrons</u>

      88 protons         140 neutrons

Mass number of new (daughter) atom = 88 +140 = 228

As the amount of a substance increases what does the density of the substance do
hram777 [196]

Answer:

As the amount of substances increases density will increase.

Explanation:

Density and mass have direct relation while density and volume has inverse relation. If the volume of substance is kept constant then the density of substance will increase with same factor as the mass of substance is increases.

Density:

Density is equal to the mass of substance divided by its volume.

Units:

SI unit of density is Kg/m3.

Other units are given below,

g/cm3, g/mL , kg/L

Formula:

D=m/v

D= density

m=mass

V=volume

Symbol:

The symbol used for density is called rho. It is represented by ρ. However letter D can also be used to represent the density.
