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

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

If a gas occupies 1532.7 mL at standard temperature, what volume does it occupy at 49.4 ºC if the pressure remains constant?
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

a. 1810mL

Explanation:

When conditions for a gas change under constant pressure (and the number of molecules doesn't change), it follows Charles' Law:

\dfrac{V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{V_2}{T_2}  where the temperatures must be measured in Kelvin

To convert from Celsius to Kelvin, add 273, or use the equation:  T_C+273=T_K

For this problem, one must also recall that standard temperature is 0°C (or 273K).

So, T_1 = 273[K], and T_2 = (49.4+273)[K]=322.4[K].

\dfrac{V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{V_2}{T_2}

\dfrac{(1532.7[mL])}{(273[K])}=\dfrac{V_2}{(322.4[K])}

\dfrac{(1532.7[mL])}{(273[K\!\!\!\!\!{-}])}(322.4[K\!\!\!\!\!{-}] )=\dfrac{V_2}{(322.4[K]\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!{----})}(322.4[K]\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!{----})

1810.04571428[mL]=V_2

Adjusting for significant figures, this gives V_2=1810[mL]

Calculate the number of chlorine atoms that are present in 66.05 g of dichloromethane, ch2cl2. when you have the number, take it
Whitepunk [10]
From the periodic table:
mass of carbon = 12 grams
mass of hydrogen = 1 gram
mass of chlorine = 35.5 grams
Therefore,
molar mass of CH2Cl2 = 12 + 2(1) + 2(35.5) = 85 grams

number of moles = mass / molar mass
number of moles of CH2Cl2 = 66.05 / 85 = 0.777 moles

One mole of CH2Cl2 contains two moles of Cl and each chlorine mole has Avogadro's number of atoms in it.
Therefore,
number of chlorine atoms in 0.777 moles of CH2Cl2 can be calculated as follows:
number of atoms = 0.777 * 2 * 6.022 * 10^23 = 9.358 * 10^23 atoms

Now, we will take log base 10 for this number:
log (9.358 * 10^23) = 23.97119

What is a atom and what do atom do in the world ​
gayaneshka [121]

In all atoms, the number of protons and the number of electrons is always the same. The number of neutrons is very roughly the same as the number of protons, but sometimes it's rather more. The number of protons in an atom is called the atomic number and it tells you what type of atom you have.

A car travels 150 meters in 3.5 seconds what is its speed?
defon

Answer:

The solution is given below.

Explanation:

Speed   = Distance(m)/Time(sec.)

Distance traveled = 150 m

Time taken = 3.5 seconds

Speed of car = 150/3.5 = 42.86 m/s

So the car traveled at a speed of 42.86 m/s.
