Answer : The correct answer is 424.

Explanation :

The following rules are used to round off a number to the required number of significant figures:

(1) If the rightmost digit to be removed is more than 5, the preceding number is increased by one.

(2) If the rightmost digit to be removed is less than 5, the preceding number is not changed.

(3) If the rightmost digit to be removed is 5, then the preceding number is not changed if it is an even number but it is increased by one if it is an odd number.

(4) The same procedure is follow for decimal values.

As we are given, 423.6059

In the given answer, there are 7 significant figures. Now we have to convert it into three significant figures.

According to the rules, round off the given measurement in three significant figures as 424.

Therefore, the correct answer is 424.

In an industrial process ethanol C2H60 burns with O2 to produce heat. Each mole of ethanol produces 8842 joules during the react

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

$189kJ$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since one mole of ethanol release 8,842 J per 1 mole of ethanol, we can write:

$\frac{8,842J}{1molC_2H_6H}$

Thus, since we need the energy released by 982.6 g of ethanol, we compute the moles in such mass of fuel:

$n=982.6g\frac{1mol}{46.08g} =21.3mol$

Therefore, the result is:

$\frac{8,842J}{1mol}*21.3mol=188,545J$

Which in kJ is:

$189kJ$

Best regards!

________ are molecules whose general structure includes a central carbon with a carboxyl group, an amine group, a hydrogen molec

IgorLugansk [536]

The amino acids are the molecules where we can found the carboxyl group (- $COO^{-}$ ), amino group (- $NH_{2}$ ), hydrogen atom (H) and a residual R-group. On the structure of the residual R-group the name of the amino acid depends. Like if R is hydrogen (H) the amino acid is alanine; If R- group is a phenyl group i.e. $-C_{6}H_{5}$ , the compound is called phenyl alanine. The structure of the general amino acid skeleton can be shown as-
