Physical change: a change in which no new substances are formed. the form of the substance is changed but not it's chemical composition (ice melting, bread toasting)

chemical change: any change that results in the formation of new chemical substances. this type of change modifies molecules and atoms by making and breaking the bonds between atoms! (iron rusting, gas burning)

so basically a physical change just changes the appearance of a substance, but a chemical change changes the makeup on a molecular level. i hope this helps you out!

Perform the calculation and record the answer with the correct number of significant figures.
kotykmax [81]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

A. (6.5-6.10)/3.19

B. (34.123 + 9.60) / (98.7654 - 9.249)

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For A:</u> The answer becomes 0.1

<u>For B:</u> The answer becomes 0.4884

<u>Explanation:</u>

Significant figures are defined as the figures present in a number that expresses the magnitude of a quantity to a specific degree of accuracy.

Rules for the identification of significant figures:

  • Digits from 1 to 9 are always significant and have infinite number of significant figures.
  • All non-zero numbers are always significant. For example: 664, 6.64 and 66.4 all have three significant figures.
  • All zeros between the integers are always significant. For example: 5018, 5.018 and 50.18 all have four significant figures.
  • All zeros preceding the first integers are never significant. For example: 0.00058 has two significant figures.
  • All zeros after the decimal point are always significant. For example: 2.500, 25.00 and 250.0 all have four significant figures.
  • All zeroes used solely for spacing the decimal point are not significant. For example: 10000 has one significant figure.

<u>Rule applied for addition and subtraction:</u>

The least precise number present after the decimal point determines the number of significant figures in the answer.

<u>Rule applied for multiplication and division:</u>

In case of multiplication and division, the number of significant digits is taken from the value which has least precise significant digits

  • <u>For A:</u> (6.5-6.10)/3.19

This a a problem of subtraction and division.

First, the subtraction is carried out.

\Rightarow \frac{6.5-6.10}{3.19}=\frac{0.4}{3.19}

Here, the least precise number after decimal was 1.

\Rightarrow \frac{0.4}{3.19}=0.125

Here, the least precise number of significant digit is 1. So, the answer becomes 0.1

  • <u>For B:</u> (34.123 + 9.60) / (98.7654 - 9.249)

This a a problem of subtraction, addition and division.

First, the subtraction and addition is carried out.

\Rightarow \frac{34.123+9.60}{98.7654-9.249}=\frac{43.723}{89.5164}=\frac{43.72}{89.516}

Here, the least precise number after decimal in addition are 2 and in subtraction are 3

\Rightarrow \frac{43.72}{89.516}=0.48840

Here, the least precise number of significant digit are 4. So, the answer becomes 0.4884

What kinds of elements form an ionic bond?
Vanyuwa [196]
Ionic bonds usually occur between metal and nonmetal ions. For example, sodium (Na), a metal, and chloride (Cl), a nonmetal, form an ionic bond to make NaCl. In a covalent bond, the atoms bond by sharing electrons. Covalent bonds usually occur between nonmetals.

Which of the following best summarizes the ideal gas law?
8090 [49]

Answer:

Option C. PV = nRT

Explanation:

The ideal gas gas equation gives the relationship between pressure, volume, number mole a gas and temperature of gas.

Mathematically, the ideal gas equation is given as:

PV = nRT

Where:

P is the pressure measured in atmosphere (atm).

V is the volume measured in litres(L) or cubic decimetre (dm³).

n is the number of mole of gas.

R is the gas constant (0.0821atm.L/Kmol)

T is temperature measured in Kelvin (K).
