<span>Every chemical is made up of atoms and each atom has one or more electrons surrounded its nucleus. The electron emits light after changing from a high energy state o to a lower energy state which is known as transition. The color of this light is unique to each element because each atom of a particular element has a different transition energy.</span>

How many grams of water can be produce from the complete reaction of excess nitric acid and 33.2 mL of 0.245 M lithium hydroxide
Mariulka [41]

Mass of water produced : 0.146 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

33.2 mL of 0.245 M lithium hydroxide

Required

mass of water

Solution

Reaction

HNO₃ (aq) + LiOH (aq) → H₂O (l) + LiNO₃ (aq)

mol LiOH :

= M x V

= 0.245 x 33.2 ml

= 8.134 mmol

From the equation, the mol ratio of HNO₃ : H₂O = 1 : 1, so mol H₂O = 8.134 mmol

mass H₂O :

= mol x MW

= 8.134 x 10⁻³ mol x 18 g/mol

= 0.146 g

What is the solution to the problem expressed to the correct number of significant figures? 2.13 + 1 = ?
Paha777 [63]

So,

With addition, we the last digit we keep will be the one which is known for both individual values.

We know 2.13 to the hundredths, but we only know 1 to the ones.  Therefore, we will round off in the ones place.

2.13 + 1 = 3.13 (unrounded)

= 3 (rounded)

Hope this helps!
