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

Use the unbalanced equation NH3+O2=NO+H2O to find the mole ratio between NO and H2O
Leona [35]

Answer:

For every 4 moles of NO created, 6 moles of H2O are created so the ratio is 4:6

Explanation:

You just need to balance the equation.

NH3 + O2 -> NO + H2O

1. I started with hydrogen; there's 3 on the left and 2 on the right. Multiply them together to find a number they both go into (3×2=6, but in this case 6 hydrogen on each side does not work so I doubled it so there is 12 hydrogen on each side).

This will bring you to this:

4NH3 + O2 -> NO + 6H2O

2. Now get equal amounts of nitrogen on each side. There's 4 nitrogen on the left side, and 1 on the right. Multiply the right by 4. Then you will have this:

4NH3 + O2 -> 4NO + 6H2O

3. Last thing you need to do is have the same amount of oxygen on both sides. On the left you have 2 and on the right you have 10. Get the left to 10 by multiplying it by 5.

Balanced: 4NH3 + 5O2 -> 4NO + 6H2O

In word form, for every reaction between 4 moles of ammonia and 5 moles of oxygen, 4 moles of nitric oxide and 6 moles of water will be created.

I hope this helps!

How does induced transmutation produce trans uranium elements ?
kifflom [539]
Answer: Artificial transmutation may occur in machinery that has enough energy to cause changes in the nuclear structure of the elements. This releases, on average, 3 neutrons and a large amount of energy. The released neutrons then cause fission of other uranium atoms, until all of the available uranium is exhausted.

A solution contains 0.140 mol KCl in 2.100 L water. What is the concentration of KCl in g/L?
viva [34]
<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

≈ 4.95 g/L

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

The molar mass of KCl = 74.5 g/mole

Therefore; 0.140 moles will be equivalent to ;

 = 0.140 moles × 74.5 g/mole

 = 10.43 g

Concentration in g/L

   = mass in g/volume in L

   = 10.43/2.1

   =  4.9667

<h3>   <u> ≈ 4.95 g/L</u></h3>

What is a common property of metals?
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

B) conducts electricity

Explanation:

Metals are conductors, literally meaning they conduct electricity.

One metal is liquid at room temp (there might be one more but I only know of mercury).

The reactivity depends on the placement in the periodic table.

If it conducts electricity, it can't be an insulator.
