Answer:

D

Explanation:

the zero is trailing with a decimal so it counts. A is wrong because you can't round up, C is too many SF and E is wrong because a negative exponent would give you .001250

4 0

Answer: D

Explanation:

Not A: You don’t round up to 1251 because 3 is less than 5

Not B: That’s more than 4 sig figs

Not C: More than 4 sig figs

D: 1.250 has 4 sig figs and 1250 is the correct answer

Not E: negative exponent makes it into decimal which is way off

Sugar dissolves readily in water because it is a(n) ____ substance.
Mnenie [13.5K]
The answer to this question would be D. Hydrophilic.

The word hydrophilic mean attracted by water. That means the molecule has a force to attract water molecule, thus be able to dissolve in water.  The polarity of the molecule would determine whether a molecule hydrophilic or not.
Its opposite would be hydrophobic which the molecule can't dissolve in water.  One example of this would be oil or fat. That is why sometimes it is called lipophilic too.

Which of the following elements is the least reactive metal? Sodium, Rubidium, Chlorine, and Magnesium.​
LuckyWell [14K]
First off chlorine is not a metal so you can ignore that one.

Sodium and Rubidium are in group 1 of the periodic table and Magnesium is in group 2.

Group one metals are more reactive than group two because it is harder for the group two metals to lose their 2 valence (outer most) electrons.

As you go down group 1 there is an increase in the reactivity this is because as you go down there is an increase in the atomic radius which leads to more shielding. This weakens the electrostatic forces of attraction making it easier to lose the outermost electrons, therefore they are more reactive.

Describe the main differences beA human cell has 46 chromosomes. At the end of mitosis, there are two cells, each with 46 chromo
liberstina [14]

Answer:

At the end of meiosis, there are four cells, each with 23 chromosomes, for a total of 92 chromosomes split between the four cells.

Explanation:

During meiosis, a diploid cell  (46 chromosomes) replicates its DNA (making 92 chromosomes) then undergoes two cell divisions to generate four haploid cells (23 chromosomes).

These haploid cells are the gametes which, during fertilization, fuse to become a zygote with 46 chromosomes.

The decomposition of HBr(g) into elemental species is found to have a rate constant of 4.2 ×10−3atm s−1. If 2.00 atm of HBr are
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

7,94 minutes

Explanation:

If the descomposition of HBr(gr) into elemental species have a rate constant, then this reaction belongs to a zero-order reaction kinetics, where the r<em>eaction rate does not depend on the concentration of the reactants. </em>

For the zero-order reactions, concentration-time equation can be written as follows:

                                          [A] = - Kt + [Ao]

where:

  • [A]: concentration of the reactant A at the <em>t </em>time,
  • [A]o: initial concentration of the reactant A,
  • K: rate constant,
  • t: elapsed time of the reaction

<u>To solve the problem, we just replace our data in the concentration-time equation, and we clear the value of t.</u>

Data:

K = 4.2 ×10−3atm/s,  

[A]o=[HBr]o= 2 atm,  

[A]=[HBr]=0 atm (all HBr(g) is gone)

<em>We clear the incognita :</em>

[A] = - Kt + [Ao]............. Kt =  [Ao] - [A]

                                        t  = ([Ao] - [A])/K

<em>We replace the numerical values:</em>

t = (2 atm - 0 atm)/4.2 ×10−3atm/s = 476,19 s = 7,94 minutes

So, we need 7,94 minutes to achieve complete conversion into elements ([HBr]=0).
