When the use of significant figures and rounding up is applied correctly the mass of the mixture will be 80.5 g.
In cases of addition or subtraction, only the last significant figure of every number is taken into account.
In 30.05, this is 5, in the hundredths. When we look at 50.0, the last significant figure is 0, and it is in the tenths. And in 0.4006, the last significant figure is 6, in the ten thousandths. Of these three, the 0 from 50.0 is in the leftmost position, which means that the last significant figure of the result needs to be in the same position (in the tenths).
Moving onto the actual algebraic operation:
30.05 g + 50.0 g + 0.4006 = 80.4506 g
As we established, the last significant figure should be in the tenths, and we will have to round up 4 to 5 (trailing numbers are greater than 0), which means that the resulting mass will be 80.5 g.

Answer:
Ionic bonds hold charged particles in solid NaCl together, such that they are unable to move or conduct electricity.
Explanation:
Consider an electric current that flows through a conductor: charge moves in a uniform direction from one end of the conductor towards the other.
Thus, there are two conditions for a substance to conduct electricity:
- The substance shall contain charged particles, and
- These charged particles shall be free to move across the substance.
A conductor of electricity shall meet both requirements.
Now, consider the structure of solid NaCl
. NaCl is an ionic compound. It contains an ocean of oppositely charged ions:
- Positive
ions, and - Negative
ions.
Ions carry charge. Thus, solid NaCl contains charged particles and satisfies the first condition.
Inside solid NaCl
, electrostatic attractions ("ionic bonds") between the oppositely charged ions hold these ions in rigid ionic lattices. These ions are unable to move relative to each other. As a result, they cannot flow through the solid to conduct electricity. Under solid state, NaCl is unable to satisfy the second condition.
As a side note, melting NaCl into a liquid breaks the ionic bonds and free the ions from the lattice. Liquid NaCl is a conductor of electricity.
<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option a.
<u>Explanation:</u>
To calculate the hybridization of central metal atom, we use the equation:
![\text{Number of electron pair}=\frac{1}{2}[V+N-C+A]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctext%7BNumber%20of%20electron%20pair%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%5BV%2BN-C%2BA%5D)
where,
V = number of valence electrons present in central atom which is xenon = 8
N = number of monovalent atoms bonded to central atom = 2
C = charge of cation = 0
A = charge of anion = 0
Putting values in above equation, we get:
![\text{Number of electron pair}=\frac{1}{2}\times [8+2]=5](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctext%7BNumber%20of%20electron%20pair%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%5Ctimes%20%5B8%2B2%5D%3D5)
The number of electron pair are 5 that means the hybridization will be
and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be
But as there are 2 atoms around the central xenon atom, rest three positions will be occupied by lone pair of electrons. The repulsion between lone and bond pair of electrons is more and hence the molecular geometry will be bent or linear.
Hence, the correct answer is Option a.
Answer:
even though I am missing the question I believe that the correct answer to the question is; <em>his cats will be brown (Dominant)</em>
Explanation:
this statement is true to the fact that on of his cats has the homozygous dominant gene BB. For their to be a chance of a white cat as an offspring both cats would either have to be Hetrozygous (Bb) or Homozygous recesssive (bb)
