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.

what is the ratio of the rate of effusion of helium (atomic mass 4.00 amu) to that of oxygen gas (molecular mass 32.0 amu)?
nignag [31]

Answer:

3 : 1

Explanation:

Let the rate of He be R1

Molar Mass of He (M1) = 4g/mol

Let the rate of O2 be R2

Molar Mass of O2 (M2) = 32g/mol

Recall:

R1/R2 = √(M2/M1)

R1/R2 = √(32/4)

R1/R2 = √8

R1/R2 = 3

The ratio of rate of effusion of Helium to oxygen is 3 : 1

What does the host mean when he says that the acid has "donated a proton" to the water?
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

As Brønsted-Lowry theory states, acids are the ones that can donate protons.

When a proton is donated, it is released to become medium more acidic.

HCl is a strong acid.

HCl (l) + H₂O (l)  →  H₃O⁺ (aq) +  Cl⁻(aq)

These always reffers to strong acid where the dissociation is 100% completed.

In a weak acid, dissociation is not 100% complete, that's why we have an equilibrium.

HA (l) + H₂O (l)  ⇄  H₃O⁺ (aq) +  A⁻(aq)                   Ka
