Answer:

315.

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, since the given number has five significant figures as the zero is to the right of the first nonzero digit (3), if it is required to report it with three significant figures, it is necessary to "cut" it at the first five without any rounding since the subsequent zero is less than five.

Thus the number turns out:

315

Best regards.

Calculate the relative formula/atomic mass of each of the following compounds:

1. HCl (H:1, Cl 35.5) ---> 1+35.5 = 36.5
2. FeS (Fe:56, S:32) ---> 56+32 = 88
3. Cl2 (Cl:35.5) ---> 35.5 x 2 = 71
4. CaC03 (Ca:40, C: 12, O: 16) ---> 40 + 12 + 3(16) = 100
5. Fe0 (Fe: 56, O: 16) ---> 56+16=72

why would dry cleaners use nonpolar tetrachloroethylene, c2cl4, to get cheeseburger grease out of clothes?

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Grease is nonpolar. It is made up of lengthy hydrocarbon chains attached to glycerol (triacylglycerols). Because of this property, nonpolar solvents, such as tetrachloroethylene, can get grease out of clothes. This solvent acts by dissolving the grease, thereby removing it from clothes without leaving any residue.

What mass in grams would 5.7L of hydrogen gas occupy at STP?

tekilochka [14]

Answer: The correct answer is: " 0.54 g " .

__________________________________________

Explanation:

Note that "hydrogen gas" is:

H₂ (g) ; that is: a "diatomic element" (diatomic gas) ;

_________________________________________

The molecular weight of "H" is: 1.00794 g ;

(From the Periodic Table of Elements).

So, the molecular weight of: H₂ (g) is:

" 1.00794 g * 2 = 2.01588 g ; {use calculator) ;

_________________________________________

Note the conversion for a gas at STP:

______

1 mol of a gas = 22.4 L gas;

___

i.e. " 1 mol / 22.4 L " ;

____

So: " 5.7 L H₂ (g) $* \frac{1 mol H_{2} }{22.4 L} *\frac{2.01588 g}{mol} =? ;$

The "L" ("literes" cancel out to "1" ; since "L/L = 1 ;

The "mol" (moles) cancel out to "1" ; since "mol/mol = 1 ;

____

and we are left with:

____

[5.7 * 2.104588 g ] / 22.4 = ? g ;

______________________

→ [ 11.9961516 g ] / 22.4 =

0.53554248214 g ;l

_____________________________

We round this value to: " 0.54 g " ;

→ since "5.7 L " has 2 (two) significant figures;

22.4 is an exact number conversion;

and "5.7 L" has fewer significant figures than:

" 2.104588 " ; or: " 1.00794 " .

→ as such: We round to "2 (two) significant figures."
