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.

Calculate the standard enthalpy change for the reaction at 25 ∘ 25 ∘ C. Standard enthalpy of formation values can be found in th
WINSTONCH [101]

<u>Answer:</u> The standard enthalpy change of the reaction is coming out to be -16.3 kJ

<u>Explanation:</u>

Enthalpy change is defined as the difference in enthalpies of all the product and the reactants each multiplied with their respective number of moles. It is represented as \Delta H

The equation used to calculate enthalpy change is of a reaction is:  

\Delta H_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta H_f(product)]-\sum [n\times \Delta H_f(reactant)]

For the given chemical reaction:

Mg(OH)_2(s)+2HCl(g)\rightarrow MgCl_2(s)+2H_2O(g)

The equation for the enthalpy change of the above reaction is:

\Delta H_{rxn}=[(1\times \Delta H_f_{(MgCl_2(s))})+(2\times \Delta H_f_{(H_2O(g))})]-[(1\times \Delta H_f_{(Mg(OH)_2(s))})+(2\times \Delta H_f_{(HCl(g))})]

We are given:

\Delta H_f_{(Mg(OH)_2(s))}=-924.5kJ/mol\\\Delta H_f_{(HCl(g))}=-92.30kJ/mol\\\Delta H_f_{(MgCl_2(s))}=-641.8kJ/mol\\\Delta H_f_{(H_2O(g))}=-241.8kJ/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\Delta H_{rxn}=[(1\times (-641.8))+(2\times (-241.8))]-[(1\times (-924.5))+(2\times (-92.30))]\\\\\Delta H_{rxn}=-16.3kJ

Hence, the standard enthalpy change of the reaction is coming out to be -16.3 kJ

how many kilograms of a 35% m/m sodium chlorate solution is needed to react completely with 0.29 l of a 22% m/v aluminum nitrate
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:- 0.273 kg

Solution:- A double replacement reaction takes place. The balanced equation is:

3NaClO_3+Al(NO_3)_3\rightarrow 3NaNO_3+Al(ClO_3)_3

We have 0.29 L of 22% m/v aluminum nitrate solution. m/s stands for mass by volume. 22% m/v aluminium nitrate solution means 22 g of it are present in 100 mL solution. With this information, we can calculate the grams of aluminum nitrate present in 0.29 L.

0.29L(\frac{1000mL}{1L})(\frac{22g}{100mL})

= 63.8 g aluminum nitrate

From balanced equation, there is 1:3 mol ratio between aluminum nitrate and sodium chlorate. We will convert grams of aluminum nitrate to moles and then on multiplying it by mol ratio we get the moles of sodium chlorate that could further be converted to grams.

We need molar masses for the calculations, Molar mass of sodium chlorate is 106.44 gram per mole and molar mass of aluminum nitrate is 212.99 gram per mole.

63.8gAl(NO_3)_3(\frac{1mol}{212.99g})(\frac{3molNaClO_3}{1molAl(NO_3)_3})(\frac{106.44g}{1mol})

= 95.7gNaClO_3

sodium chlorate solution is 35% m/m. This means 35 g of sodium chlorate are present in 100 g solution. From here, we can calculate the mass of the solution that will contain 95.7 g of sodium chlorate  and then the grams are converted to kg.

95.7gNaClO_3(\frac{100gSolution}{35gNaClO_3})(\frac{1kg}{1000g})

= 0.273 kg

So, 0.273 kg of 35% m/m sodium chlorate solution are required.

How long is a red blood cell
Lera25 [3.4K]
I suspect this question should read "How long does a red blood cell live." A red blood cell lives for between 100 and 120 days. It takes 7 days for a new red blood cell to develop from stem cells. Stem cells are similar to base cells. They can also be seen as a general template from which specialized cells are made. Stem cells can be taken from a newborn baby's umbilical chord or extracted from an adult blood donor's blood.This
