948 or 9.48 x 10^2

There are two sets of rules for significant figures

• One set for addition and subtraction

• Another set for multiplication and division

You used the set for multiplication and division.

This problem involves addition and subtraction, and the rule is

The number of places after the decimal point in the answer must be <em>no greater than the number of decimal places in every term</em> in the sum.

Thus, we have

78.9

+890.43

-21.

= 948.33

The "21" term has the fewest digits after the decimal point (none), so the answer must have no digits after the decimal point.

To the correct answer is 948 = 9.48 x 10^2. It has three significant figures.

Determine the number of hydrogen atoms in an alkyne with one carbon–carbon triple bond and 4 carbon atoms.

rewona [7]

Answer:

There are 6 hydrogen atoms.

Explanation:

The formula for an alkyne that has only one triple bond is as follows:

CₙH₂₍ₙ₎₋₂

Where n is any natural number greater than 2.

For this problem, n=4. This would mean the formula is:

C₄H₂₍₄₎₋₂

Thus

C₄H₈₋₂

C₄H₆

Thus the answer is 6, there are 6 hydrogen atoms.

What happens when you mix calcium chloride and hydrogen peroxide?

Natalka [10]

Answer:

Explanation: When chlorine reacts with hydrogen peroxide, hydrogen peroxide falls apart into water and oxygen. Chlorine gas hydrolyses into hypochlorous acid (, which subsequently into hypochlorite ions . The reaction between hydrogen peroxide and hypochlorite takes place very quickly.

How do you solve 4-7

Sonbull [250]

You would go into negative numbers and keep subtracting.
For example, 3-4 is -1 and 4-7 is -3.
Hope you know how to do it!!!

Question 1

The correct answer is a.

Explanation

The relationship between $pH$ and $pOH$ is given by

$pH + pOH = 14$ , We can use $pH=-log[H^+]$ and $pOH= -log[OH^-]$ . In a we are given the concentration of [OH] and so we use that to find the pOH, then from pOH we can find the pH.

$pOH= -log [2.4 \times 10^-^2] = 1.62\\\\pH = 14 - 1.62= 12.38$

$b.pH=-log(1.53 \times 10^-^2) = 1.82$

c. HCl is a strong acid so it dissociates to 0.0001 $H^+$ and 0.0001 $Cl^-$ , hence

$pH= -log[0.0001] = 4$

$d.pOH= -log [4.4 \times 10^-9] = 8.36\\\\pH= 14- 8.36 = 5.64$

$a.[OH^-] = 2.4 \times 10^-^2$ has a pH 12.36 which is greater than 7

Question 2

The correct answer is d $O_2(g)$ .

Explanation

This is because solids and liquids do not appear in the equilibrium constant expression. Since $K= \frac{[products]}{[reactants]}$ .

For the equation

$2PbS_(_s_) + 3O_2_(_g_) + C_(_s_) \implies 2Pb _(_s_) + CO_2_(_g_) + SO_2(_g_)$

$K= \frac{[CO_2][SO_2]}{[O_2]}$

Question 3

The correct answer is c

In a molecule the oxidation number are assigned to get the sum of a neutral charge or ion. The overall charge of $SO_4^2^-$ is -2 and in all its compounds oxygen has -2 charge, hence

$S+ 4O = -2\\S+4(-2)=-2\\\implies S= -2 +8 = +6$

Question 4

The correct answer is b. An oxidising agent must gain electrons in a reaction, thus it is the one that undergoes reduction.In order find out what is being reduced we write half reactions for molecules that change their state. $Ag^+$ and $K^+$ are spectactor ions in this reaction.

$Cl_2 + 2e \implies 2Cl^-\\\\NO_2 +H_2O \implies NO_3 +2H^+ +2e\\\\H^+ + OH^- \implies H_2O\\$

In the chloride half reaction $Cl_2$ gains electrons to become $Cl^-$ ions.

Question 5

The last element D is correct. When a nucleus decays by beta emission it produces a daughter nucleus that has same mass number but different atomic number. Therefore beta-decay will have equation

$\frac{187}{75} Re \implies \frac{187}{76} Os + \beta$

Question 6

The correct answer is a. A beta particle is an electron because it has a charge of -1 and has same mass as an electron, while a positron is a particle with the same mass as an electron but with a positive charge.
