Answer:

The correct answer is 16.8 g (option C)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

9.78 grams + 7.0 grams

Rule significant numbers say:

⇒ Non-zero digits are always significant.

⇒ Any zeros between two significant digits are significant.

⇒ A final zero or trailing zeros in the decimal portion ONLY are significant.

For addition and subtraction, look at the places to the decimal point.  Add or subtract in the normal way, then round the answer to the LEAST number of places to the decimal point of any number in the problem.

9.78 g+ 7.0 g = 16.78 grams

Significant numbers = 1 decimal

16.78 ⇒ 16.8

The correct answer is 16.8 g (option C)

Consider the following equation for the combustion of acetone (C3H6O), the main ingredient in nail polish remover.
solong [7]

Answer:

a) 4869 kj will be released

b) 43.86 g of octane

Explanation:

The heat of combustion is the amount of heat released when one mole of a substance reacts with enough oxygen

since the heat of combustion is per mol of combustible substancewjat we are required to do in this problem is calculate number moles in the reactions although in a different manner

a) MW C3H6O = 158 g/ mol

mol C3H6O = 158 g × 1 mol/ 58.08 g

= 2.72 - 1790 kj / mol ×2.72 mol = 4869 kj

b) Here we are asked the mass of octane to produce 1950 kj of heat knowing that per mole of octane we get 5074.1 kj then

1 mol / 5074.1kj × 1950 kj= 0.384 mol

mass C8H18 = 0.384 mol × 114.23 g/ mol = 43.86 g

Answer:

Answers are in parentheses.

In the Bohr model of the atom, the electrons move in fixed, (circular) paths around a dense positively-charged nucleus. On the other hand, the quantum mechanical model shows the probability of finding an electron as a (cloud) of negative charge.

Explain why air is not a good conductor of heat.
Masja [62]
In a gas molecules have to scatter off molecules to exchange energy in larger distances, so the probability of transfer is much smaller. Air is a bad conductor because, to conduct heat current molecules should absorb heat and transmit it to neighbor by vibrating.

2-11 Ozone molecules are constantly formed and destroyed in the atmosphere. A
evablogger [386]

Answer:

The diagram shows oxygen, O₂, which consists of two atoms of oxygen in the stratosphere, which are the two beings holding hands, forming a couple being broken up by the intense ultraviolet radiation of the Sun, such that the couple closest to the Sun are the ones that were broken into two O, atoms.

After being broken, the two beings (oxygen atoms), become free to move as they please, making them able to move faster than when they were still a couple. However, due to the likeness for their fellow beings, each of the single O beings rushed to meet the other two still coupled O₂ beings, whereby one O being rushing to meet one O₂ couple each, to form O₃ which is a new group consisting of three beings holding hands known as Ozone

Note, that O stands for atomic oxygen gas

O₂ stands for oxygen gas

O₃ stands for ozone gas
