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

Chemistry

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.

Which type of reaction is the Haber process: N2(g) + 3 H2(g) → 2 NH3(g) + heat? *
Alik [6]

Answer:

exothermic, with a decrease in entropy

Explanation:

Whenever you produce heat as a product in a reaction, the reaction is exothermic. To determine entropy, we know we have 4 moles of gas on reactant (1 from N2 and 3 from H2) and in produce side we only have two moles (2 from NH3) thus since we are decreasing the number of gas molecules, there is going to be less disorder, hence decrease in entropy.

HELP! THIS IS SCIENCE
Alexxx [7]
This is known as Rutherford's gold foil experiment. To align with J.J Thompson's Plum Pudding Model, he expects a beam of alpha particles to just pass through the gold foil undisturbed. However, some were deflected at certain angles. Alpha particles are positive, so it would just go straight through the nucleus, but will deflect if it hits the electrons. <em>Therefore, the answer is: </em><span><em>Particles that struck the nucleus went straight.</em></span>

Does electronegativity affect replacement reactions
Annette [7]

Answer: A single replacement reaction occurs when an elemental metal atom with a low electronegativity replaces another atom (usually a metal) in a compound. This is caused by a transfer of electrons from the less electronegative metal to the more electronegative atom.

What are the cations and anions whose compounds are usually soluble?
HACTEHA [7]

Answer: -

Solubility of a substance depend on the balance of intermolecular forces between the solvent and solute, and the entropy change that accompanies this process.

Temperature and pressure also plays a role in solubility.

A solution having Group 1 cations like lithium, sodium, potassium etc are always soluble.

A solution having NH₄⁺ is soluble.

All salts with anion as nitrates, acetates, chlorates, and perchlorates are soluble in water.

Does the coating from another type of candy dissolve in water like M&amp;M’s ?
AleksandrR [38]

The candy coating of the M&M is made of sugar and colored dye. When water comes into contact with the sugary coating, the positive and negative charges in the water molecules pull on the negative and positive charges in the sugary coating, and the coating dissolves.
