Hi,

There are 10 significant digits in the measurement of 9478.983560 cm. A significant number is a number that is not a zero, however, in this problem you see there is one zero and that counts as a significant number because it is after a whole number.

In conclusion, a significant number is a number that is not a zero, however the only exception to this rule is that it must be after a whole number for it it to count as significant.

How many moles are in 64 grams of methane, CH4? A. 4 B. 32 C. 64 D. 13

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

A. 4.

Explanation:

We can use the relation:

no. of moles (n) = mass/molar mass.

mass = 64.0 g, molar mass = 16.0 g/mol.

∴ no. of moles (n) = mass/molar mass = (64.0 g)/(16.0 g/mol) = 4 mol.

Equation balancing

meriva

Answer:

For a: The balanced equation is $2S(s)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2SO_3(g)$

For c: The balanced equation is $2NaOH(s)+H_2SO_4(aq)\rightarrow Na_2SO_4(aq)+2H_2O(l)$

Explanation:

A balanced chemical equation is one where all the individual atoms are equal on both sides of the reaction. It follows the law of conservation of mass.
