Chemistry
2 answers:
Slav-nsk [51]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: a) 8.7\times 10^{-4}

b) 5.42\times 10^{6}

Explanation:

Scientific notation is defined as the representation of expressing the numbers that are too big or too small and are represented in the decimal form with one digit before the decimal point times 10 raise to the power.

For example : 5000 is written as 5.0\times 10^3

a) 0.00087

This number is written in scientific notation as : 8.7\times 10^{-4}

b) 54,200,00

This number is written in scientific notation as : 5.42\times 10^{6}

What is the engine piston displacement in liters of an engine whose displacement is listed as 490 in^3?
marishachu [46]

Answer:

490 in^3 = 8.03 L

Explanation:

Given:

The engine displacement = 490 in^3

= 490 in³

To determine the engine piston displacement in liters L;

(NOTE: Both in^3 (in³) and L are units of volume). Hence, to find the engine piston displacement in liters (L), we will convert in^3 to liters (L)

First, we will convert in³ to cm³

Since 1 in = 2.54 cm

∴ 1 in³ = 16.387 cm³

If 1 in³ = 16.387 cm³

Then 490 in³ =  (490 in³ × 16.387 cm³) / 1 in³ = 8029.63 cm³

∴ 490 in³ = 8029.63 cm³

Now will convert cm³ to dm³

(NOTE: 1 L = 1 dm³)

1 cm = 1 × 10⁻² m = 1 × 10⁻¹ dm

∴ 1 cm³ = 1 × 10⁻⁶ m³ = 1 × 10⁻³ dm³

If 1 cm³ = 1 × 10⁻³ dm³

Then, 8029.63 cm³ = (8029.63 cm³ × 1 × 10⁻³ dm³) / 1 cm³ = 8.02963 dm³

≅ 8.03 dm³

∴ 8029.63 cm³ = 8.03 dm³

Hence, 490 in³ = 8029.63 cm³ = 8.03 dm³

Since 1L = 1 dm³

∴ 8.03 dm³ = 8.03 L

Hence, 490 in³ = 8.03 L

A sample of a compound contains 3.21 g of sulfur and 11.4 g of fluorine. Which of the following represents the empirical formula
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

The empirical formula is SF6 (option E)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of sulfur = 3.21 grams

Mass of fluorine = 11.4 grams

Molar mass sulfur = 32.065 g/mol

Molar mass fluorine = 19.00 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles

Moles = mass /molar mass

Moles sulfur = 3.21 grams / 32.065 g/mol

Moles sulfur = 0.100 moles

Moles fluorine = 11.4 grams / 19.00 g/mol

Moles fluorine = 0.600 moles

Step 3: Calculate mol ratio

We divide by the smallest amount of moles

S: 0.100 / 0.100 = 1

F : 0.600 / 0.100 = 6

The empirical formula is SF6 (option E)

GIVING 20 POINTS!! Apply Concepts Two chemists each plan an investigation in which they will combine hydrogen gas with chlorine
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

Yes, the investigations will reach similar conclusions about the reactivity of H2 and Cl2

Explanation:

1. The law of multiple proportions says that when elements form compounds, the proportions of the elements in those chemical compounds can be expressed in small whole number ratios.  This means that regardless of whether 1000 times more of the products are used, the reactivity of the products is established by the chemical reaction

2. The law of multiple proportions is an extension of the law of definite composition, which states that compounds will consist of defined ratios of elements.

3. A reaction with more reactants will need more care because more products are produced, which can be toxic

4. H2 and Cl2 reactivity does not depend on the quantities but the chemical properties of each compound

Where did the molecules of carbon dioxide come from while the tortilla chip was burning
CaHeK987 [17]
The answer can be explained when you burn something cleanly (with a very hot item) or not. With a candle lots of Carbon dioxide is producted but when using a bunson burner hardly any CO2 is produced.

Which statement concerning the hydrated hydrogen ion is incorrect? (a) Although we often represent hydrogen ions as bare protons
Harrizon [31]

Answer:C. The value of n for H+(H2O)n can be calculated for almost all solutions.

Explanation:

An hydrate can be described as a substance that contains water or with an hydrogen bonded water molecule group.

The hydrate group doesn't necessarily have a fixed formula.
