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.

Polished metals have a metallic luster, which means that?
DochEvi [55]
Metallic luster refers to the way light casts off of a mineral. Polished metals such as gold have a metallic luster, which makes them look bright and shiny, and reflect more light than other minerals. There are also minerals that have metallic luster, but are not shiny or reflect much light, which is called dull metallic luster. 

Metallic luster - bright, shiny
Dull metallic luster - not shiny

Which of the following would be investigated in reaction stoichiometry? Group of answer choices The types of bonds that break an
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

The mass of potassium required to produce a known mass of potassium chloride

Explanation:

Stoichiometry deals with the relationship between amount of substances, mass of substances or volume of substances required in a chemical reaction. Stoichiometric relationships may involve reactants alone or reactants and products. These relationships are normally in the form of simple proportion.

A typical example is our answer option, the mass of potassium required could be used to determine the mass of potassium chloride produced after a balanced reaction equation is written.

How much heat is required to change 100 g of ice (H2O) at 253 K to vapor (steam) at 393 K?
soldier1979 [14.2K]

<u>Answer:</u> The heat required will be 58.604 kJ.

<u>Explanation: </u>

To calculate the amount of heat required, we use the formula:

Q= m\times c\times \Delta T

Q= heat gained  or absorbed = ? J

m = mass of the substance = 100 g

c = heat capacity of water = 4.186 J/g ° C

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\Delta T={\text{Change in temperature}}=(393-253)K=140K=140^oC

Q=100g\times 4.186J/g^oC\times 140^oC

Q = 58604 Joules  = 58.604 kJ     (Conversion factor: 1 kJ = 1000J)

Thus, heat released by 100 grams of ice is 58.604kJ.

What’s the density if the mass is 40.8g and the volume is 60mL?
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

We have the final answer as

<h2>0.68 g/mL</h2>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume} \\

From the question

mass = 40.8 g

volume = 60 mL

The density is

density =  \frac{40.8}{60}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>0.68 g/mL</h3>

Hope this helps you

A 2.40 kg block of ice is heated with 5820 J of heat. The specific heat of water is 4.18 J•g^-1•C^-1. By how much will it’s temp
MrMuchimi

Answer: The temperature rise is 0.53^0C

Explanation:

The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree Celsius is called the specific heat capacity.

Q=m\times c\times \Delta T

Q = Heat absorbed by ice = 5280 J

m = mass of ice = 2.40 kg = 2400 g   (1kg=1000g)

c = heat capacity of water = 4.18J/g^0C

Initial temperature  = T_i

Final temperature = T_f  

Change in temperature ,\Delta T=T_f-T_i=?

Putting in the values, we get:

5280J=2400g\times 4.18J/g^0C\times \Delta T

\Delta T=0.53^0C

Thus the temperature rise is 0.53^0C
