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.

How many moles of solute are in 300 mL of 1.5 M CaCl2? How many grams fo CaCl2 is this?
tester [92]

Answer:

1. 0.45 mole

2. 49.95g

Explanation:

The following were obtained from the question:

Volume of solution = 300mL = 300/1000 = 0.3L

Molarity = 1.5 M

Mole of CaCl2 =?

1. We can obtain the mole of the solute as follow:

Molarity = mole of solute /Volume of solution

1.5 = mole of solute/0.3

Mole of solute = 1.5 x 0.3

Mole of solute = 0.45 mole

2. The grams in 0.45 mole of CaCl2 can be obtained as follow:

Molar Mass of CaCl2 = 40 + (35.5 x 2) = 40 + 71 = 111g/mol

Mole of CaCl2 = 0.45 mole

Mass of CaCl2 =?

Mass = number of mole x molar Mass

Mass of CaCl2 = 0.45 x 111

Mass of CaCl2 = 49.95g
