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

<h2>The compound formed is NaCl and $CaCl_{2}$ </h2>

Explanation:

PART 1:

Atomic number of sodium is 11.
Sodium(Na, Z = 11, Group 1A) will lose 1 electron to become $Na^{1+}$ which is isoelectronic to Neon (Ne ,Z = 10).
The symbol for the sodium ion is $Na^{+}$ .
Chlorine atom ( $Cl$ , Z = 17, Group 7A or 17) gains 1 elecron to be isoelectronic to neon.
The symbol for the compound formed is NaCl.
PART 2:
Atomic number of calcium is 20
Calcium(Ca, Z = 20 ,Group 2A) will lose two electrons to become $Ca^{2+}$ which is isoelectronic to argon.
The symbol for the ion is $Ca^{2+}.$
Two chlorine atoms (Cl, Z = 17, Group 7A or 17) each gains one electron to be isoelectronic to argon(Z = 18)
The symbol for the compound formed is $CaCl_{2}$ .
