The rounding up of the aforementioned number to four significant figures is as follows: 3.002 × 10²

<h3>What are significant figures?</h3>

Significant figures are figures that contribute to the general and overall value of the whole number.

Significant figures or digits are specifically meaningful with respect to the precision of a measurement.

Although, the original number given in this question has 9 significant figures, the number; 300.235800 can be rounded up to four significant figures as follows:

  • Decimal notation: 300.2
  • No. of significant figures: 4
  • No. of decimals: 1
  • Scientific notation: 3.002 × 10²

Therefore, the rounding up of the aforementioned number to four significant figures is as follows: 3.002 × 10².

Are these synthesis decomposition single replacement or double replacement?
marishachu [46]

Answer:

1. Synthesis

2. Decomposition

3. Single replacement

4. Synthesis

5. Decomposition

6. Synthesis

Explanation:

Kind of a hard picture to look at but let me define each chemical reaction:

Synthesis:

a + b ---> ab   In synthesis elements/compounds come together to form new                compounds

Decomposition:

ab ---> a + b   In decomposition a compound breaks down to form 2 elements/compounds

Single replacement:

a + bc ---> b + ac   In a single replacement one element/compound takes the place of another element/compound.

Double replacement

ab + cd ---> ad + bc In a double replacement 2 compounds exchange different elements/compounds.

Now, let's go through the assignment

1. P + O2 --> P4O10  This is a synthesis reaction because the two elements (P and O) came together to form one compound.

2. HgO ---> Hg + O2  This is a decomposition reaction because HgO broke into separate elements Hg and O.

3. Cl2 + NaBr ---> NaCl + Br2  This is a single replacement reaction because chlorine (Cl) replaced the spot of bromine (Br) to bond with sodium (Na).

4.  Mg + O2 ---> MgO  This is a synthesis reaction because two elements (Mg and O) came together to form one compound.

5. Al2O3 ---> Al + O2  This is a decomposition reactions because Al2O3 broke into separate elements Al and O.

6. H2 + N2 ---> NH3  This is a synthesis reaction because two elements (H and N) came together to form one compound.

Are Molar Mass and Molecular Mass the same thing? If they are different, then why are they used interchangeably?
exis [7]

At this point there are two answers:  one says that there is no difference, except for the units;  the molecular weight (MW) is the mass of one molecule, while a molar mass is the mass of a mole (6.02 x 10 ^ 23) of molecules.

While in certain contexts both statements can be shown to be true, I'm not sure these answers really provide you with the insight you're looking for.

So, we'll look at your question from a different perspective.   Take a real example, something simple like water.  Water has a nominal MW of 18 (so we'll use nominal precision for simplicity, instead of the 4-places often used for these types of calculations).

The MW of water (formula = H2O) is the weight of one atom of oxygen, which = 16 amu [8-neutrons at 1 amu each plus 8 protons at 1 amu each = 16 amu), plus two atoms of hydrogen, at 1 proton (1 amu) each.  Normal everyday hydrogen has no neutrons.  So for H2O, we have a total molecular weight of 18 amu.

From the CRC reference book we find that one amu weighs 1.66 x 10 ^--24 grams.  Multiplying the two and in keeping with the two units of precision we're working with, one molecule of water has a mass of  29.8 x 10^-24g, or [3.0 x 10 ^ -23 g] per molecule of water.

A Mole is simply Avagadro's number (6.02 x 10 ^ 23) of anything... protons, baseballs, whatever.  The term Molar Mass in chemistry refers to the mass of a mole of molecules.  So in this case a molar mass of water molecules is Avagadro's number of them, the mass therefore being [6.02 x 10 ^ 23] x 3.0 x 10 ^ -23 g/ molecule] =  18.0 g

Summarizing:

Molecular Weight is the weight given in amu of an atom or molecule.  For H2O, the MW is 18 amu or 3.0 x 10 ^ -23 g.

Molar Weight is the weight, usually in grams of 6.02 x 10 ^ 23 measurements which happens to be equal to the MW of the molecule (or atomic wt. of the atom) , and for water is 18.0 g.

So, while MW and molar weight are related, their absolute values are magnitudes apart.
