Answer: Another name for beta-minus particle is electron.

Explanation: Beta-minus particle $(_{-1}^0\beta )$ is released during the beta-minus decay nuclear reaction.

In this nuclear reaction, a neutron gets converted into proton and electron. The electron released is the beta-minus particle.

The charge on these particles is -1 and mass of these particles is negligible.

Answer: The metal having molar mass equal to 26.95 g/mol is Aluminium

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$ .....(1)

Molarity of NaOH solution = 0.5000 M

Volume of solution = 0.03340 L

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.5000M=\frac{\text{Moles of NaOH}}{0.03340L}\\\\\text{Moles of NaOH}=(0.5000mol/L\times 0.03340L)=0.01670mol$

The chemical equation for the reaction of NaOH and sulfuric acid follows:

$2NaOH+H_2SO_4\rightarrow Na_2SO_4+H_2O$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of NaOH reacts with 1 mole of sulfuric acid

So, 0.01670 moles of NaOH will react with = $\frac{1}{2}\times 0.01670=0.00835mol$ of sulfuric acid

Excess moles of sulfuric acid = 0.00835 moles

Calculating the moles of sulfuric acid by using equation 1, we get:

Molarity of sulfuric acid solution = 0.5000 M

Volume of solution = 127.9 mL = 0.1279 L (Conversion factor: 1 L = 1000 mL)

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.5000M=\frac{\text{Moles of }H_2SO_4}{0.1279L}\\\\\text{Moles of }H_2SO_4=(0.5000mol/L\times 0.1279L)=0.06395mol$

Number of moles of sulfuric acid reacted = 0.06395 - 0.00835 = 0.0556 moles

The chemical equation for the reaction of metal (forming $M^{3+}$ ion) and sulfuric acid follows:

$2X+3H_2SO_4\rightarrow X_2(SO_4)_3+3H_2$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

3 moles of sulfuric acid reacts with 2 moles of metal

So, 0.0556 moles of sulfuric acid will react with = $\frac{2}{3}\times 0.0556=0.0371mol$ of metal

To calculate the molar mass of metal for given number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Mass of metal = 1.00 g

Moles of metal = 0.0371 moles

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.0371mol=\frac{1.00g}{\text{Molar mass of metal}}\\\\\text{Molar mass of metal}=\frac{1.00g}{0.0371mol}=26.95g/mol$

Hence, the metal having molar mass equal to 26.95 g/mol is Aluminium

How to round significant figures

marissa [1.9K]

Explanation:

To round to a significant figure:

look at the first non-zero digit if rounding to one significant figure
look at the digit after the first non-zero digit if rounding to two significant figures
draw a vertical line after the place value digit that is required
look at the next digit
if it's 5 or more, increase the previous digit by one
if it's 4 or less, keep the previous digit the same
fill any spaces to the right of the line with zeros, stopping at the decimal point if there is one
