(158lb)2 = 158 lb * 158 lb 
This gives us 24964 lb^2 
To solve the solution to 3sf we obtain 25000 lb^2. 
Hence 25000 to 3sf

Answer: 2.50 × 10⁴


Justification:


1) The expression is: (158 lbs)²


2) When two amounts are multiplied, the product must be shown with the same number of significant figures of that of the factor with the least number of significant figures.


3) So you have to muliply 158 by itself (square) and then round to 3 significant figures.


4) The number 158 has 3 significan figures, so the product shall show also 3 significant figures:


(158 lb)² = 158 lb × 158 lb = 24,964 lb², which must be rounded to 3 significant figures: 25,000.


Since, the fourth figure was greater than 5, the third signficant figure must be increased. Since the third signficant figure is 9, the increase is translated to the second significant figure.


5) Now, to indicate tha the number of significan figures is 3, you have to use scientific notation:


25,000 = 2.50 × 10³, where the 3 signficant figures are 2, 5, and 0.

Which reactant is unlikely to produce the indicated product upon strong heating?
Ilya [14]

2-Methyl-4-oxo-pentanoic acid  is unlikely to produce 2-Methyl-3-butanone upon strong heating.

Upon heating, the β ketoacid becomes unstable and decarboxylates, leading to the formation of the methyl ketone.

A carboxylic acid is an organic acid that contains a carboxyl group (C(=O)OH) attached to an R-group. The general formula of a carboxylic acid is R−COOH or R−CO2H, with R referring to the alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, or other group.

Carboxylic acids occur widely. Important examples include the amino acids and fatty acids. Deprotonation of a carboxylic acid gives a carboxylate anion.

Full question :

Q.  Which reactant is unlikely to produce the indicated product upon strong heating?

  • A) 2,2-Dimethylpropanedioic acid 2-methylpropanoic acid
  • B) 2-Ethylpropanedioic acid Butanoic acid
  • C) 2-Methyl-3-oxo-pentanoic acid 3-Pentanone
  • D) 2-Methyl-4-oxo-pentanoic acid 2-Methyl-3-butanone
  • E) 4-Methyl-3-oxo-heptanoic acid 3-Methyl-2-hexanone

Hence, option (D) is correct.

Help please Thank You so much!

If you count the number of electrons (small dots), you have the atomic number. In this case you have 11 so this atom is a sodium atom. Sodium has 1 valence electron (electron on the outer shell) and chlorine has 7. This means that if sodium gave one electron away and chlorine would obtain one electron, they would both have the (ideal) noble gas conformation (full outer shell).

Determain the number of moles in 2.24l of ch4 at stp
valkas [14]

Answer:

0.1 mole of CH₄

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Volume of CH₄ = 2.24 L

Number of mole of CH₄ =?

The number of mole of CH₄ can be obtained as follow:

Recall:

1 mole of a gas occupy 22.4 L at stp. This implies that 1 mole of CH₄ occupies 22.4 L at stp.

22.4 L = 1 mole of CH₄

Therefore,

2.24 L = 2.24 × 1 mole of CH₄ / 22.4

2.24 L = 0.1 mole of CH₄.
