Answer:

$578.2\times 10^{-6}$

Explanation:

Scientific notation is the way of writing numbers which are either large or small. The number is written in the scientific notation when the number is between 1 and 10 and then multiplied by the power of 10. Engineering notation is the same version of the scientific notation but the number can be between 1 and 1000 and in this exponent of the ten is divisible by three.

For example, $1000^2$ is to be written as $10^6$ in engineering notation.

The given number:

0.00057824 can be written as $578.24\times 10^{-6}$

Answer upto 4 significant digits = $578.2\times 10^{-6}$

How many grams are in 3.14 moles of PI₃?

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 1290 \ g \ PI_3}}$

Explanation:

We want to convert from moles to grams, so we must use the molar mass.

<h3>1. Molar Mass</h3>

The molar mass is the mass of 1 mole of a substance. It is the same as the atomic masses on the Periodic Table, but the units are grams per mole (g/mol) instead of atomic mass units (amu).

We are given the compound PI₃ or phosphorus triiodide. Look up the molar masses of the individual elements.

Phosphorus (P): 30.973762 g/mol
Iodine (I): 126.9045 g/mol

Note that there is a subscript of 3 after the I in the formula. This means there are 3 moles of iodine in 1 mole of the compound PI₃. We should multiply iodine's molar mass by 3, then add phosphorus's molar mass.
