As per as the Multiplication rules of the significant figures, whenever any numbers in the decimals forms are multiplied or divided then result in mentioned in such a way so that the significant figures after the decimal will be same as that in the given least condition.
_______________________________
102900/12 = 8575
170 × 1.27 = 215.9
∴ (102,900 ÷ 12) + (170 × 1.27) = 8575 + 215.9
= 8790.9
Now, As per as Above rules, answer in correct significant figures will be = 8791.
Electrolysis takes place when an electric current passes through water.
population is the number of species living in a given area if this is regarding biology or earth studies :)
The values of x represents that number of moles of water molecules that is present per mole of the salt magnesium sulfate. To determine the value for this, we need to know how much is the water that is lost after heating the sample assuming that all of the water molecules are evaporated leaving only the unhydrated form of the salt. We calculate as follows:
Mass of hydrated salt = 3.484 g
Mass after heating = 1.701 g
Mass lost = 3.484 g - 1.701 g = 1.783 g
The mass lost is equal to the mass of water lost.
Moles water lost = 1.783 g ( 1 mol / 18.02 g ) = 0.0989 mol H2O
Moles of unhydrated salt = 1.701 g ( 1 mol / 120.37 g ) = 0.0141 mol MgSO4
moles water / moles MgSO4 = 0.0989 mol H2O / 0.0141 mol MgSO4 = 7
Therefore, the value of x is 7.
