Answer:

10.78 → 4 significant figures, pH = 10.78 → [H⁺] = 1.66ₓ10⁻¹¹ M

6.78 → 3 significant figures, pH = 6.78 → [H⁺] = 1.66ₓ10⁻⁷ M

0.78 → 2 significant figures, pH = 0.78 → [H⁺] = 0.166 M

pH always can be expressed by at least 4 significant figures. The [H⁺], can be expressed by, at least 3 significant figures

Explanation:

Significant figures are the numbers of a measurement that have certainty plus a doubtful number (it is associated with the uncertainty in the measurement). For example, if we measure a paper with a ruler and the ruler measures up to centimeters we can say that the paper is 7.5 cm long, with which we know that the paper is 7 cm + 0.5 cm which we associate with uncertainty. In this case we talk about two significant figures. If the sheet measured 7.57 cm we would already be talking about a more precise measurement and in this case with 3 significant figures.

10.78 → 4 significant figures

6.78 → 3 significant figures

0.78 → 2 significant figures

To determine [H⁺], we apply 10^-pH

10⁻¹⁰°⁷⁸ = 1.66ₓ10⁻¹¹ M

10⁻⁶°⁷⁸ = 1.66ₓ10⁻⁷ M

10⁻⁰°⁷⁸ = 0.166 M

How does a balanced chemical equation satisfy the law of conservation of mass
ELEN [110]
Every chemical equation adheres to the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed. ... When an equal number of atoms of an element is present on both sides of a chemical equation, the equation is balanced.

Calculate the amount of heat deposited on the skin of a person burned by 1.00g of steam at 100.0C. Skin temperature is 37C. ΔHva
seraphim [82]

The amount of heat deposited on the skin is 2.26 kJ.

<h3>What is the amount of heat given off by 1.0 g of steam?</h3>

The amount of heat given off by steam is determined using the formula below:

Quantity of heat = mass * latent heat of vaporization.

Moles of steam = 1.0/18

Heat = 1.0/18 * 40.7

Heat deposited = 2.26 kJ

In conclusion, the quantity of heat is determined from the latent heat of vaporization and the moles of steam.
