Five. The measurement 50,600 mg has five significant digits.

I presume that you are using the comma as a decimal separator.

The <em>rules for significant figures</em> are
1. Nonzero digits are always significant.
2. Any zeros between two significant digits are significant.
3. Final or trailing zeros are significant only if they are to the right of a decimal point.

• According to Rule 1, the <em>5 and 6</em> are significant.
• According to Rule 2, the <em>0 between the 5 and 6</em> is significant
• According to Rule 3, the <em>final two zeros</em> are significant.

Thus, there are five significant digits in the measurement 50,600 mg.

Note: If the comma is a thousands separator, the number has only three significant digits.

Answer:

5.

Explanation:

Significant figures may be defined as the numbers of the digit that can carry to contribute the meaning of the exact measurement resolution. Significant figures follows some specific scientific rules.

All non zero digits are significant figures. The zeros that are present between the non zero digits are significant figures. The zeros that are present after the significant figures are considered as significant. Here, 5 significant figures are 5,0,6,0 and 0. Hence, the total significant figures are 5.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

If you have a pH of 3.35, what is the hydrogen ion concentration of the solution?
melamori03 [73]

Answer: 4.46 x 10^-4M

Explanation:

The pH of a solution is the concentration of hydrogen ion concentration in the solution. Mathematically, it is expressed as pH = -log(H+), where H+ is the concentration of hydrogen ion

On the pH scale, readings are from 1 to 14.

- pH values less than 7 are regarded as acidic. So, the solution with pH 3.35 is said to be acidic, and will produce hydrogen ions.

3.35 = -log(H+)

(H+) = Antilog (-3.35)

(H+) = 0.000446M

Place (H+) in standard form

(H+) = 4.46 x 10^-4M

Thus, the concentration of hydrogen ion in the solution with pH 3.35 is 4.46 x 10^-4M
