Number of significant figures will be 1.

Given:

weight of acetylsalicylic acid = 0. 4g

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.

<h3>How do you determine the number of significant figures?</h3>
  • The zero to the left of a decimal value less than one is meaningless.
  • All trailing zeros that are placeholders are meaningless.
  • The presence of zeros between non-zero numbers is significant.
  • Non-zero numbers are all significant.
  • If a number contains more digits than the desired number of significant digits, it is rounded.
<h3>Why 'Hidden Figures' is so important?</h3>

It's an important story for a variety of reasons, and it comes at a time when people are looking to Hollywood more than ever to tell stories that represent them. Hidden Figures is that movie for many, and it's critical that everyone sees these women in action. This is why. This film tells a story that you've probably never heard before.

Mean: the average. you have to add the values of the numbers and then divide by the amount of numbers there are. a common mistake to avoid is forgetting to divide the numbers at the end or subtracting them instead of adding.

mean: the middle number. you would first need to order the numbers from least to greatest. a common mistake to avoid is finding the middle number before ordering it from least to greatest

these two can also be commonly mistaken for one another because of the similar spelling.

What is molarity of 47.0 g KCl dissolved in enough water to give 375 mL of solution?
natita [175]

This question provides us –

  • Weight of \bf  KCl is = 47 g
  • Volume, V = 375 mL

__________________________________________

  • Molar Mass of \bf   KCl –

\qquad \twoheadrightarrow\bf  39.0983 \times 35.453

\qquad \twoheadrightarrow\bf 74.5513

<u>Using formula</u> –

\qquad \purple{\twoheadrightarrow\bf Molarity _{(Solution)} =  \dfrac{ W\times 1000}{MV}}

\qquad \twoheadrightarrow\bf Molarity _{(Solution)}  = \dfrac{ 47 \times 1000}{74.5513\times 375}

\qquad \twoheadrightarrow\bf Molarity _{(Solution)}  = \dfrac{47000}{27956.7375}

\qquad \twoheadrightarrow\bf Molarity _{(Solution)}  = \cancel{\dfrac{47000}{27956.7375}}

\qquad \twoheadrightarrow\bf Molarity _{(Solution)}  = 1.68117M

\qquad \pink{\twoheadrightarrow\bf Molarity _{(Solution)}  = 1.7M}

  • Henceforth, Molarity of the solution is = 1.7M

What is the density of an 84.7 g sample of an unknown substance if the sample occupies 49.6cm cubed
Ahat [919]

Answer:

             1.70 g.cm⁻³

Solution:

Data Given;

                   Mass  =  84.7 g

                   Volume  =  49.6 cm³

                   Density  =  ?

Formula Used;

                   Density  =  Mass ÷ Volume

Putting values,

                   Density  =  84.7 g ÷ 49.6 cm³ 

                   Density  =  1.70 g.cm⁻³
