What numeral is the most significant digit in the measurement t = 24.705 s?

1 answer:

5 0

I would say that the numeral "2" would be the most significant digit as it signifies "20" and 20 is the largest number in this equation which could mean time=24.705 seconds perhaps. So using 20 as the multiplier gets close to the correct answer obtained from the actual 24.705.

Answer:

conduction

Explanation:

Conduction is the transfer of heat between substances that are in direct contact with each other. ... Conduction occurs when a substance is heated, particles will gain more energy, and vibrate more. These molecules then bump into nearby particles and transfer some of their energy to them.

The enthalpy of solution (∆H) of KOH is -57.6 kJ/mol. If 3.66 g KOH is dissolved in enough water to make a 150.0 mL solution, wh

When 3.66 g of KOH (∆Hsol = -57.6 kJ/mol) is dissolved in 150.0 mL of solution, it causes a temperature change of 5.87 °C.

The enthalpy of solution of KOH is -57.6 kJ/mol. We can calculate the heat released by the solution (Qr) of 3.66 g of KOH considering that the molar mass of KOH is 56.11 g/mol.

$3.66g \times \frac{1mol}{56.11g} \times \frac{(-57.6kJ)}{mol} = -3.76 kJ$

According to the law of conservation of energy, the sum of the heat released by the solution of KOH (Qr) and the heat absorbed by the solution (Qa) is zero.

$Qr+Qa = 0\\\\Qa = -Qr = 3.76 kJ$

150.0 mL of solution with a density of 1.02 g/mL were prepared. The mass (m) of the solution is:

$150.0 mL \times \frac{1.02g}{mL} = 153 g$

Given the specific heat capacity of the solution (c) is 4.184 J/g･°C, we can calculate the change in the temperature (ΔT) of the solution using the following expression.

$Qa = c \times m \times \Delta T\\\\\Delta T = \frac{Qa}{c \times m} = \frac{3.76 \times 10^{3}J }{\frac{4.184J}{g.\° C } \times 153g} = 5.87 \° C$
