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.

Write the formulas for the following ionic compounds: (a) copper bromide (containing the Cu+ ion), (b) manganese oxide (containi

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:The formulas of ionic compounds are:

a) $CuBr$

b) $Mn_2O_3$

c) $Hg_2I_2$

d) $Mg_3(PO_4)_2$

Explanation:

Formulas for the an ionic compounds is determine by:

Criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

(a) Copper bromide :Given that it contains $Cu^+$ ion.

$Cu^++Br^-\rightarrow CuBr$

(b) Manganese oxide : Given that it contains $Mn^{3+}$ ion.

$Mn^{3+}+O^{2-}\rightarrow Mn_2O_3$

(c)Mercury iodide :Given that it contains $Hg_2^{2+}$

$Hg_2^{2+}+I^-\rightarrow Hg_2I_2$

(d) Magnesium phosphate :Given that it contains $PO_4^{3-}$

$Mg^{2+}+PO_4^{3-}\rightarrow Mg_3(PO_4)_2$

What did J.J. Thomson discover about the atom that changed the atomic model previously used?

galina1969 [7]

J.J. Thomson hypothesized and discovered that the atom was not the smallest unit of matter but that instead there were much smaller units. He discovered "sub-atomic particles" which make up atoms. The sub-atomic particle that Thomson discovered was the electron. He discovered this through a process of experiments testing cathode rays.

The compound dioxane, which is used as a solvent in various industrial processes is composed of C,H, and O atoms. Combustion of

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

The correct formula of dioxane is C₄H₈O₂.

Explanation:

Given data:

mass of dioxane= 2.23 g

mass of water = 1.802 g

mass of carbon dioxide = 4.401 g

molar mass of dioxane = 88.1 g / mol

Molecular formula of dioxane = ?

Solution:

percentage of carbon = (4.401 g/2.23 g ) × (12 /44) × 100

= (1.98 × 0.273) × 100 = 54.1

percentage of hydrogen = (1.802 g/ 2.23 g) × (2.016 /18.016) × 100

= (0.81 × 0.112) × 100 = 9.072

percentage of oxygen = 100 - (54.1 + 9.072)

= 100 - 63.172 = 36.828

Now we will determine the number of grams atoms of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.

No. of gram atoms of carbon = 54.1 /12 = 4.51

No. of gram atoms of hydrogen = 9.072 / 1.008 = 9

No. of gram atoms of oxygen = 36.828 / 16 = 2.302

Atomic ratio:

C :H :O 4.51/ 2.302 : 9 / 2.302 : 2.302 /2.302

C :H :O 2 : 4 : 1

Molecular formula:

Molecular formula = n × (empirical formula)

n = molar mass of compound / empirical formula mass

empirical formula mass= 2 × 12 + 4 × 1.008 + 1 × 16

empirical formula mass= 24+ 4.032 +16 = 44.032

n = 88.1 / 44.032 = 2

Molecular formula = n × (empirical formula)

Molecular formula = 2 × (C₂H₄O)

Molecular formula = C₄H₈O₂
