Round 23.455 cm into 4 significant figures

2 answers:

4 0

It would be 23.46, since the next number is a 5 so we can round up.

Significant figures are:
ANY number that is not 0
Any 0 between two nonzero digits
Any 0 following a decimal (i.e 1.50)

Answer:

23.46

Explanation:

Significant figures are the number of digits or the numbers that contribute to the actual value of a measurement.

Some of the rules to check the number of significant figures are:

- All non-zero digits are always significant

-Zeros in between numbers are significant

-Leading zeros after decimal are not significant

-Trailing zeros after decimal are significant

-If the final digit after decimal is greater than or equal to 5, it can be rounded up to the next higher number

The given value is:

23.455 it has 5 significant figures

Rounding up (since the last digit = 5) to 4 significant figures gives:

23.46

Purification of copper can be achieved by electrorefining copper from an impure copper anode onto a pure copper cathode in an el

givi [52]

Answer: The amount of time needed to plate 14.0 kg of copper onto the cathode is 295 hours

Explanation:

We are given:

Moles of electron = 1 mole

According to mole concept:

1 mole of an atom contains $6.022\times 10^{23}$ number of particles.

We know that:

Charge on 1 electron = $1.6\times 10^{-19}C$

Charge on 1 mole of electrons = $1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=96500C$

$Cu^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Cu$

$2\times 96500=193000C$ is passed to deposit = 1 mole of copper

63.5 g of copper is deposited by = 193000 C

$14\times 1000g=14000g$ of copper is deposited by = $\frac{193000}{63.5}\times 14000=42551181 C$

To calculate the time required, we use the equation:

$I=\frac{q}{t}$

where,

I = current passed = 40.0 A

q = total charge = 42551181 C

t = time required = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$40.0=\frac{42551181 C}{t}\\\\t=1063779sec$

Converting this into hours, we use the conversion factor:

1 hr = 3600 seconds

So, $1063779s\times \frac{1hr}{3600s}=295hr$

Hence, the amount of time needed to plate 14.0 kg of copper onto the cathode is 295 hours
