Answer:

2.04 x 10²⁴ molecules

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of Be(OH)₂ = 145.5g

To calculate the number of molecules in this mass of Be(OH)₂ we follow the following steps:

>> Calculate the number of moles first using the formula below:

Number of moles = mass/molarmass

Since we have been given the mass, let us derive the molar mass of Be(OH)₂

Atomic mass of Be = 9g

O = 16g

H = 1g

Molar Mass = 9 + 2(16 + 1)

= 9 + 34

= 43g/mol

Number of moles = 145.5/43 = 3.38mol

>>> We know that a mole is the amount of substance that contains Avogadro’s number of particles. The particles can be atoms, molecules, particles etc. Therefore we use the expression below to determine the number of molecules in 3.38mol of Be(OH)₂:

Number of

molecules= number of moles x 6.02 x 10²³

Number of molecules= 3.38 x 6.02 x 10²³

= 20.37 x 10²³ molecules

= 2.04 x 10²⁴ molecules

Carry out the following operations as if they were calculations of experimental results and express each answer in standard nota

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

1. $10.6\; \rm m$ (one decimal place.)

2. $0.79\; \rm g$ (two decimal places.)

3. $16.5\;\rm cm^2$ (three significant figures.)

Explanation:

The first and second expressions are additions and subtractions. When adding two numbers, the accuracy of the result is given by the number of decimal places in it. The result should have as many decimal places as the input with the least number of decimal places.

For example, in the first expression:

$5.6792\;\rm m$ has four decimal places.
$0.6\; \rm m$ has only one decimal place.
$4.33\; \rm m$ has two decimal places.

Therefore, the result should be rounded to one decimal place. Note that these units are compatible for addition, since they are all the same. The result should have the same unit (that is: $\rm m$ .)

Therefore:

$\rm 5.6792\; m + 0.6\; m + 4.33\; m \approx 10.6\; \rm m$ . (Rounded to one decimal place.)

Similarly:

$\rm 3.70\; \rm g$ has two decimal places.
$2.9133\; \rm g$ has four decimal places.

Therefore, the result should be rounded to two decimal places. Its unit should be $\rm g$ (same as the unit of the two inputs.)

$\rm 3.70\; g - 2.9133\; g \approx 0.79\; \rm g$ . (Rounded to two decimal places.)

When multiplying two numbers, the accuracy of the result should be based on the number of significant figures in it. The result should have as many significant figures as the input with the least number of significant figures. In this expression:

$4.51\; \rm cm$ has three significant figures.
$3.6666\; \rm cm$ has five significant figures.

Therefore, the result should have only three significant figures.

The unit of the result is supposed to be the product of the units of the input. In this expression, that unit will be $\rm cm \cdot cm$ , which is occasionally written as $\rm cm^2$ .

$\rm 4.51 \; cm \times 3.6666 \; cm \approx 16.5\; \rm cm^2$ . (Rounded to three significant figures.)
