How many significant figures are in the measurement, 0.005890 g?

1 answer:

6 0

4 significant figures. Use a rule called the Atlantic-Pacific rule where if the period is absent (Atlantic), you would start counting the numbers from right to left. If the period is present (Pacific), then start counting the numbers from left to right. Since the period is present, start from 5 and there are 4 digits including 5.

Answer: Hydrogen molecules will have greatest average speed.

Explanation:

The formula for average speed is :

$\mu_{av}={\sqrt{\frac{8RT}{\pi\times M}}}$

R = gas constant

T = temperature

M = Molecular Mass

Now putting all the values:

$\frac{\nu_{H_2}}{\nu_{O_2}}=\sqrt{\frac{8RT}{\pi\times M_{H_2}}}/{\sqrt{\frac{8RT}{\pi\times M_{O_2}}}$

$\frac{\nu_{H_2}}{\nu_{O_2}}=\sqrt{\frac{16}{2}}$

$\frac{\nu_{av}_{H_2}}{\nu_{av}_{O_2}}=8$

Thus average speed of hydrogen is 8 times the average speed of oxygen. Thus hydrogen molecules will have greatest average speed

Which of the following statements best explains the observation that hydrogen fluoride has the highest boiling point of all the

olasank [31]

Answer:

c. HF can participate in hydrogen bonding.

Explanation:

The boiling points of substances often reflect the strength of the intermolecular forces operating among the molecules.

If it takes more energy to separate molecules of HF than of the rest of the hydrogen halides because HF molecules are held together by stronger intermolecular forces, then the boiling point of HF will be higher than that of all the hydrogen halides.

A particularly strong type of intermolecular attraction is called the hydrogen bond, which is a special type of dipole-dipole interaction between the hydrogen atom in a polar bond, such as N-H, O-H, or F-H, and an electronegative O, N, or F atom.

Explain how line spectra are used to identify elements and what they indicate about atoms

Advocard [28]

Electron transitions from higher to lower energy levels cause emission of energy in the form of electromagnetic waves, each with their own specific wavelength. Because the energy levels of elements are quantized, each transition has a specific energy difference. The collection of these transitions makes up the emission spectrum and each spectrum is unique to a specific element, allowing identification.
