What is (3.11*10^-5)-(4.21*10^-2)

Chemistry
1 answer:
Reptile [31]2 years ago
3 0

Taking into account the scientific notation, the result of the subtraction is -4.20689×10⁻².

<h3>Scientific notation</h3>

Scientific notation is a quick way to represent a number using powers of base ten, where the numbers are written as a product:

a×10ⁿ

where:

  • a is a real number greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10, to which a decimal point is added after the first digit if it is a non-integer number.
  • n is an integer, which is called an exponent or an order of magnitude. Represents the number of times the comma is shifted. It is always an integer, positive if it is shifted to the left, negative if it is shifted to the right.

<h3>Subtraction in scientific notation</h3>

When the numbers to be added do not have the same base 10 exponent, the base 10 power with the highest exponent must be found. In this case, the highest exponent is -2.

Then all the values ​​are expressed as a function of the base 10 exponent with the highest exponent. In this case: 3.11×10⁻⁵= 0.00311×10⁻²

Taking the quantities to the same exponent, all you have to do is subtract what was previously called the number "a". In this case:

0.00311×10⁻² - 4.21×10⁻²= (0.00311 - 4.21)×10⁻²= -4.20689×10⁻²

Finally, the result of the subtraction is -4.20689×10⁻².

In a sample of solid ba(no3)2 the ratio of barium ions to nitrate ions is
user100 [1]
<span>In a sample of solid Ba(NO3)2 the ratio of barium ions to nitrate ions is would be one is to 2 or 1:2. Barium ion has a formal charge of positive two which means that it needs two ions which has a formal charge of negative one or 1 ion with the formal charge of negative two. However, for this case, it is bonded to a nitrate ion which has a formal charge of negative one. Therefore, it needs two nitrate ions so that for every 1 atom of barium ion, we need two ions of nitrate ions.</span>

Why do you think steeples and roofs might appear green, but a copper square does not?
Masteriza [31]
Because the copper roofs, have been outside for a while and oxidization has occurred.
When metals become oxidized they rust, but when copper becomes oxidized, it turns greenish.
So copper roofs oxidize and turn green from being outside and a copper square doesn’t if it’s inside.

How many Joules are released to cool 250.0 grams of liquid water from 100°C to 0°C? The specific heat of water is 4.180 J/g.C.
nlexa [21]

\bold{\huge{\orange{\underline{ Solution}}}}

\bold{\underline{ Given :- }}

  • <u>We </u><u>have </u><u>250g </u><u>of </u><u>liquid </u><u>water </u><u>and </u><u>it </u><u>needs </u><u>to </u><u>be </u><u>cool </u><u>at </u><u>temperature </u><u>from </u><u>1</u><u>0</u><u>0</u><u>°</u><u> </u><u>C </u><u>to </u><u>0</u><u>°</u><u> </u><u>C</u>
  • <u>Specific </u><u>heat </u><u>of </u><u>water </u><u>is </u><u>4</u><u>.</u><u>1</u><u>8</u><u>0</u><u>J</u><u>/</u><u>g</u><u>°</u><u>C</u>

\bold{\underline{ To \: Find :- }}

  • <u>We </u><u>have </u><u>to </u><u>find </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>total</u><u> </u><u>number </u><u>of </u><u>joules </u><u>released</u><u>. </u>

\bold{\underline{ Let's \:Begin:- }}

<u>We </u><u>know </u><u>that</u><u>, </u>

Amount of heat energy = mass * specific heat * change in temperature

<u>That </u><u>is, </u>

\sf{\red{ Q = mcΔT }}

<u>Subsitute </u><u>the </u><u>required </u><u>values </u><u>in </u><u>the </u><u>above </u><u>formula </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

\sf{ Q = 250 × 4.180 ×(0 - 100 )}

\sf{ Q = 250 × 4.180 × - 100 }

\sf{ Q = 250 × - 418}

\sf{\pink{ Q = - 104,500 J }}

Hence, 104,500 J of heat is released to cool 250 grams of liquid water from 100° C to 0° C.

\bold{\underline{ Now :- }}

<u>We </u><u>have </u><u>to </u><u>tell </u><u>whether </u><u>the </u><u>above </u><u>process </u><u>is </u><u>endothermic </u><u>or </u><u>exothermic </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

Here, In the above process ΔT is negative and as a result of it Q is also negative that means above process is Exothermic

  • <u>Exothermic </u><u>process </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u><u>It </u><u>is </u><u>the </u><u>process </u><u>in </u><u>which </u><u>heat </u><u>is </u><u>evolved </u><u>. </u>
  • <u>Endothermic </u><u>process </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u><u>It </u><u>is </u><u>the </u><u>process </u><u>in </u><u>which </u><u>heat </u><u>is </u><u>absorbed </u><u>.</u>
