7.22 moles of C2H6. Since there are 2 carbon atoms per C2H6, we must multiply the number of moles of C2H6 by 2 to get the number of moles of Carbon which is 14.4 or 14 if using two sig figs.

C2H6's molar mass is (12+12+6) = 30 grams. if we use stoichiometry we find that
130 grams of C2H6 holds approximately 4.33 moles of the molecule. If we know that there are 2 moles of pure carbon person 1 mole of ethane(C2H6) we can use stoichiometry once more to multiply 2 by 4.33 to find the number of moles of carbon in 130 grams of ethane which is approximately 8.67 moles.

Which of the following examples illustrates a number that is correctly rounded to three significant figures?

Naily [24]

Answer:

c. 20.0332 g to 20,0 g

Explanation:

A significant figure is each of the digits of a number that are used to express it to the required degree of accuracy, starting from the first non-zero digit, with the exception of the trailing zeros.

<em>Which of the following examples illustrates a number that is correctly rounded to three significant figures? </em>

a. 109 526 g to 109 500 g. NO. The rounded number has 4 significant figures: 109 500.

b. 0.03954 g to 0.040 g. NO. The rounded number has 2 significant figures: 0.040.

c. 20.0332 g to 20.0 g. YES. The rounded number has 3 significant figures: 20.0.

d. 04.05438 g to 4.054 g. NO. The rounded number has 4 significant figures: 4.054.

e. 103.692 g to 103.7g. NO. The rounded number has 4 significant figures: 103.7.

The half life for the decay of carbon- is years. Suppose the activity due to the radioactive decay of the carbon- in a tiny samp

EleoNora [17]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is:

The half-life for the decay of carbon-14 is 5.73x10^3 years. Suppose the activity due to the radioactive decay of the carbon-14 in a tiny sample of an artifact made of woodfrom an archeological dig is measured to be 2.8x10^3 Bq. The activity in a similiar-sized sample of fresh wood is measured to be 3.0x10^3 Bq. Calculate the age of the artifact. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

Answer:

570 years

Explanation:

The activity of the fresh sample is taken as the initial activity of the wood sample while the activity measured at a time t is the present activity of the wood artifact. The time taken for the wood to attain its current activity can be calculated from the formula shown in the image attached. The activity at a time t must always be less than the activity of a fresh wood sample. Detailed solution is found in the image attached.
