What is the solution to the problem expressed to the correct number of significant figures?

Chemistry
1 answer:
anyanavicka [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

8700

Explanation:

First, do the operations i<em>nside parentheses</em>.

102 900/12 = 8600     2 sfs because of 12

170/1.27 = 130              2 sfs because of trailing 0 in 170

===============

Now, do the addition.

 8600

<u>  + </u><u>13</u><u>0 </u>

8700

The answer has two significant figures because when adding, you must round your answer to the same "place" as the measurement with its last significant figure furthest to the left.  

The last significant figure in 8600 (the 6, in the hundreds place) is further to the left than the last significant figure in 130 (the 3, in the tens place).

We round off to the nearest hundred and get the answer, 8700.

Potassium hydroxide is classified as an arrhenius base because koh contains
mixas84 [53]

Answer: hydroxide ions

Explanation:

According to the Arrhenius concept, an acid is a substance that ionizes in the water to give hydronium ion or hydrogen ion  and a bases is a substance that ionizes in the water to give hydroxide ion .

According to the Bronsted Lowry conjugate acid-base theory, an acid is defined as a substance which donates protons and a base is defined as a substance which accepts protons.

According to the Lewis concept, an acid is defined as a substance that accepts electron pairs and base is defined as a substance which donates electron pairs.

As KOH can give hydroxide ions on dissociation , it is considered as arrhenius base.

KOH\rightarrow K^++OH^-

How many kL does a 9.51 ´ 109 cL sample contain?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

9.51 × 10⁴ kL

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Volume of the sample (V): 9.51 × 10⁹ cL

Step 2: Convert "V" to liters

We will use the conversion factor 1 L = 100 cL.

9.51 × 10⁹ cL × (1 L / 100 cL) = 9.51 × 10⁷ L

Step 3: Convert "V" to kL

We will use the conversion factor 1 kL = 1000 L.

9.51 × 10⁷ L × (1 kL / 1000 L) = 9.51 × 10⁴ kL

9.51 × 10⁹ cL is equal to 9.51 × 10⁴ kL.
