Answer:

1.69.

Explanation:

The solution = 12.0 / 7.11 = 1.687 = 1.69.

The rule of significant figures for division states that: the results are reported to the fewest significant figures.

12.0 contains 3 significant figures.

7.11 contains 3 significant figures.

So, the solution should contain 3 significant figures.

Now, the issue id of rounding; In a series of calculations, carry the extra digits through to the final result, then round.

If the digit to be removed is equal to or greater than 5, the preceding digit is increased by 1.

The digit that should be removed is 7 that is larger than 5 so increase the preceding digit by 1.

This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

Calculate the solubility of each of the following compounds in moles per liter. Ignore any acid-base properties.

CaCO₃, Ksp = 8.7 × 10⁻⁹

Answer : The solubility of CaCO₃ is, $9.33\times 10^{-5}mol/L$

Explanation :

As we know that CaCO₃ dissociates to give $Ca^{2+}$ ion and $CO_3^{2-}$ ion.

The solubility equilibrium reaction will be:

$CaCO_3\rightleftharpoons Ca^{2+}+CO_3^{2-}$

The expression for solubility constant for this reaction will be,

$K_{sp}=[Ca^{2+}][CO_3^{2-}]$

Let solubility of CaCO₃ be, 's'

$K_{sp}=(s)\times (s)$

$K_{sp}=s^2$

$8.7\times 10^{-9}=s^2$

$s=9.33\times 10^{-5}mol/L$

Therefore, the solubility of CaCO₃ is, $9.33\times 10^{-5}mol/L$
