A significant figure is every symbol that made the number itself.

In this case, the number 40.00 has four figures but only two of them are significant 40, this is because you haven't got any more decimals than the first zero.

If you have a case with zeros in front, you take to the first non zero digits.

For example, 0.071004 you wold express as 0.071 and those 7, and 1 are the significant ones.

What is the main difference between extensive and intensive physical properties?

mr_godi [17]

Extensive properties, such as mass and volume, depend on the amount of matter being measured. Intensive properties, such as density and color, do not depend on the amount of the substance present.

The mole fraction of a non-electrolyte (MM 40.0 g/mol) in a saturated aqueous solution is 0.310. What is the molality of the sol

jeka57 [31]

<u>Answer:</u> The molality of non-electrolyte is 24.69 m

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Mole fraction of saturated aqueous solution = 0.310

This means that 0.310 moles of non-electrolyte is present.

Moles of water (solvent) = 1 - 0.310 = 0.690 moles

To calculate the mass from given number of moles, we use the equation:

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