How do you know what numbers in a chemical formula are significant

Chemistry
1 answer:
bulgar [2K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

All the numbers in a chemical formula are significant, It is because the numbers in a chemical formula denote the number of different atoms present in the particular compound.

For example in H2SO4 there are 2 H 1 S and 4 O. This means 1 H2SO4 has 2 hydrogen 1 sulphur and 4 oxygen.

What mass of sucrose c12h22o11 is needed to make 300 ml of a 0.50m solution?
zepelin [54]
Use the concentration to obtain the moles. I am assuming you mean to write capital M. because little m means molality. 

So, first convert the ml into Liters and then into moles, then moles to grams using the molar mass (just adding the values of each atom from the periodic table. )

Molar mass= 12 (12.0) + 22 (1.01)+ 11 (16.0)= 342 grams/mole

300 ml (1 liter/ 1000 mL) x (0.50 moles/ 1 Liter) x (342 grams/ 1 mole)= 51.3 grams

If a certain gas occupies a volume of 19 L when the applied pressure is 9.5 atm, find the pressure when the gas occupies a volum
kakasveta [241]

Answer: 37.6 atm

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial volume of gas (V1) = 19L

Initial pressure of gas (P1) = 9.5 atm

Final volume of gas (V2) = 4.8L

Final pressure of gas (P2) = ?

Since pressure and volume are given while temperature remains the same, apply the formula for Boyle's law

P1V1 = P2V2

9.5 atm x 19L = P2 x 4.8L

180.5 atm•L = 4.8L•P2

Divide both sides by 4.8L

180.5 atm•L/4.8L = 4.8L•P2/4.8L

37.6 atm = P2

Thus, the final pressure is 37.6 atmospheres.
