Explanation:

Significant figures : The figures in a number which express the value -the magnitude of a quantity to a specific degree of accuracy is known as significant digits.

Rules for significant figures:

  1. Digits from 1 to 9 are always significant and have infinite number of significant figures.
  2. All non-zero numbers are always significant. For example: 684, 6.24 and 85.4 all have three significant figures.
  3. All zero’s between integers are always significant. For example: 5605, 5.905 and 50.15 all have four significant figures.
  4. All zero’s preceding the first integers are never significant. For example: 0.0098 has two significant figures.
  5. All zero’s after the decimal point are always significant. For example: 4.400, 47.00 and 440.0 all have four significant figures.
  6. All zeroes used solely for spacing the decimal point are not significant. For example : 3000 has one significant figure.

A). 11 soccer player  : 2 significant figures

B). 0.070020 meter  : 5 significant figures

C). 10,800 meters: 5 significant figures

D). 0.010 square meter: 2 significant figures

E). 5.00 cubic meters: 3 significant figures

F). 507 thumbtacks: 3 significant figures

A student has two samples of NaCl, each one from a different source. Assume that the only potential contaminant in each sample i
bija089 [108]

Answer:

The correct option is;

A. Which sample has the higher purity

Explanation:

The information given relate to the presence of two samples of NaCl, from different sources

The only potential contaminant in each of the sources = KCl

The content of the sample = NaCl

The molar mass of NaCl = 58.44 g/mol

The molar mass of KCl = 74.5513 g/mol

Let the number of moles of KCl in the sample = X

For a given mass of NaCl, KCl mixture, we have;

The molar mass of potassium = 39.0983 g/mol

The molar mass of chlorine = 35.453 g/mol

The molar mass of sodium ≈ 23 g/mol

Therefore;

Each mole of KCl, will yield 35.453 g/mol per 74.5513 g/mol of KCl

While each mole of NaCl will yield 35.453 g/mol per 58.44 g/mol of NaCl

Therefore, the pure sodium chloride sample will yield more chlorine per unit mass of sample.

As such if the two samples have the same mass, the sample with the contaminant of KCl will yield less mass of chlorine per unit mass of the sample, from which the student will be able to tell the purity of the solution.

The sample with the higher purity will yield  a higher mass chlorine per unit mass of the sample.
