How many significant digits are 6.3590x10 7 mm

Chemistry
2 answers:
Svet_ta [14]2 years ago

If you go by the decimal there should be 5 significant digits because 0 is a trailing zero and matters since it comes after a decimal. however if you do 

6.3590 x 10 ^7 = 63590000 then you would only have 4 significant digits because there is no longer a decimal to make the zero after the 9, significant. 

Hope this helps!

Answer:

There are 5 significant digits

Explanation:

Significant digits are essentially numbers that contribute directly towards a measurement. There are certain rules to be followed while identifying the number of significant digits in a measurement, these include:

1) Non-zero digits are significant

2) Leading zeros are insignificant

3) Trailing zeros only after a decimal point are significant

4) Zeros in between non-zero digits are significant

The given value is:

6.3590*10⁷

There are 4 non-zero digits + 1 trailing zero after the decimal.

Therefore, significant digits are 4 +  1 = 5

Why can't methanol, CH3OH, be used as a solvent for sodium amide, NaNH2? Sodium amide is nonpolar and methanol is polar. Sodium
Elodia [21]

Answer: sodium amide undergoes an acid -base reaction

Explanation:

sodium amide is a ionic compound and basically exists as sodium cation and amide anion. Amide anion is highly basic in nature and hence as soon as  there is amide anion generated in the solution , Due to its very pronounced acidity it very quickly abstracts the slightly acidic proton available on methanol.

This leads to formation of ammonia and sodium methoxide.

Hence sodium amide reacts with methanol and abstracts its only acidic proton and form ammonia and sodium Methoxide.

Hence the 3rd statement is a corrects statement.

So we cannot use methanol for sodium amide because sodium amide itself would react with methanol and the inherent molecular natur of sodium amide would then change.

The 1st and 2nd statements both are incorrect because both the compounds methanol as well as sodium amide have dipole moments and hence are polar molecules.

The 4th statement is also incorrect as both the molecules have dipole moment and hence there would be ion-dipole forces operating between them.

The following reaction occurs:

NaNH₂+CH₃OH→NH₃+CH₃ONa
