Answer:
The importance of significant figures
As stated before, it is important within the science fields that you are not more precise or accurate than the least accurate or precise number. In science, it is generally agreed upon that the last number digit in any figure is filled with uncertainty.
Explanation:
Answer:
H₂O is the limiting reactant
Theoretical yield of 240 g Al₂O₃ and 14 g H₂
Explanation:
Find how many moles of one reactant is needed to completely react with the other.
6.5 mol Al × (3 mol H₂O / 2 mol Al) = 9.75 mol H₂O
We need 9.75 mol of H₂O to completely react with 6.5 mol of Al. But we only have 7.2 mol of H₂O. Therefore, H₂O is the limiting reactant.
Now find the theoretical yield:
7.2 mol H₂O × (1 mol Al₂O₃ / 3 mol H₂O) × (102 g Al₂O₃ / mol Al₂O₃) ≈ 240 g Al₂O₃
7.2 mol H₂O × (3 mol H₂ / 3 mol H₂O) × (2 g H₂ / mol H₂) ≈ 14 g H₂
Since the data was given to two significant figures, we must round our answer to two significant figures as well.
Number of photons can be calculated by dividing the needed energy by the energy per photon.
The minimum energy needed is given as 2 x 10^-17 joules
Energy per photon = hc / lambda where h is planck's constant, c is the speed of light and lambda is the wavelength
Energy per photon = (<span>6.626 x 10^-34 x 3 x 10^8) / (475 x 10^-9)
= 4.18 x 10^-19 J
number of photons = (2 x 10^-17) / (4.18 x 10^-19)
= 47.79 photons which is approximately 48 photons</span>
Answer : The correct option is, (D) CO₂, BCl₃, and Fe³⁺
Explanation :
According to the Lewis concept, an acid is defined as a substance that accepts electron pairs and base is defined as a substance which donates electron pairs.
(a) 
It is a Lewis-acid because it can accepts electron pairs.
(b) 
It is not a Lewis-acid because it can not accepts electron pairs but it is a base because it can donates and accept hydrogen ion.
(c) 
It is a Lewis-acid because it can accepts electron pairs because it has an incomplete octet and an empty 2p orbital.
(d) 
It is a Lewis-acid because it can accepts electron pairs.
Hence, the ions which behave as Lewis acids are, CO₂, BCl₃, and Fe³⁺
