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.

The mass percent of sulfurous acid in the new solution : 38.9%

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

<em>In a container you have 800 g of a 35% by mass solution of sulfurous acid, from which 80 ml of water evaporates. What is the mass percent of sulfurous acid in the new solution? data: density of water is 1g / ml.</em>

<em />

solution 1

composition :

  • 35% acid :

\tt 0.35\times 800~g=280~g

  • water :

\tt 800-280=520~g

solution 2(new solution)

composition :

  • water

\tt 520-(80~ml\times 1~g/ml)=440~g

  • Total mass of new solution after water evaporated

\tt 280(acid)+440(water)=720~g

  • %mass of acid in a new solution

\tt \dfrac{280}{720}\times 100\%=38.9\%

Consider the change given below. At constant pressure, is work done by the system on the surroundings? By the surroundings on th
alexira [117]

Answer : At constant pressure work is done by the system on the surroundings.

Explanation :

Work done : Any quantity that flows across the boundary of a system during a change in its state and it completely convertible into the lifting of a weight in the surroundings.

Formula for work done is:

w=-p_{ext}dV

Sign convention :

  • When volume expand then system work that means work done by the system.

w = (-ve)

  • When volume compress then surrounding work that means work done on the system.

w = (+ve)

The given reaction is:

Hg(l)\rightarrow Hg(g)

This is a evaporation process in which phase changes from liquid state to gaseous state at constant temperature.

At constant pressure, work depends only on volume.

In evaporation process, the volume expand that means work is done by the system on the surroundings.

Sign convention is, w = (-ve)

Thus, at constant pressure work is done by the system on the surroundings.

geniusboy [140]
F (Fluorine) is in column (group/family) VIIA, or the "halogens". When you see the halogens (Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, and Iodine) in combination with a metal, each halogen atom present will carry a -1 charge. We can see that the atom has no charge, so the metal must cancel out the negative charges brought by the two fluorine atoms.
(Charge on m) + 2*(charge on fluorine) = 0
(Charge on m) + 2*(-1) = 0
(Charge on m) - 2 = 0
Charge on m ion = +2

aliina [53]

Answer:

168°C is the melting point of your impure sample.

Explanation:

Melting point of pure camphor= T =179°C

Melting point of sample = T_f = ?

Depression in freezing point = \Delta T_f

Depression in freezing point  is also given by formula:

\Delta T_f=i\times K_f\times m

K_f = The freezing point depression constant

m = molality of the sample  = 0.275 mol/kg

i = van't Hoff factor

We have: K_f = 40°C kg/mol

i = 1 (  non electrolyte)

\Delta T_f=1\times 40^oC kg/mol\times 0.275 mol/kg

\Delta T_f=11^oC

\Delta T_f=T- T_f

T_f=T- \Delta T_f=179^oC-11^oC=168^oC

168°C is the melting point of your impure sample.
