A chemical engineer must report the average volume of a certain pollutant produced by the plants under her supervision. Here are

the data she has been given by each plant: plant volume of pollutant Macon 0.519 LAllegheny 44.67 LDoheny 0.826 LWhat average volume should the chemical engineer report? Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Answer:

The chemical engineer should report average volume of 15.34 L.

Explanation:

Volume of Macon = 0.519 L

Volume of Allegheny = 44.67 L

Volume of Doheny = 0.826 L

Average of the volume of the pollutants:

\frac{0.519 L+44.67 L+ 0.826L}{3}=\frac{46.015 L}{3}=15.33833 L

The rule apply for the addition and subtraction is :

The least precise number present after the decimal point determines the number of significant figures in the answer.

Here the 44.67  has two significant digit after decimal point.So the answer will be reported as in with 2 significant figures after decimal point.

15.33833 L\approx 15.34 L

The chemical engineer should report average volume of 15.34 L.

Which conversion factor should you use first to calculate the number of grams of co2 produced by the reaction of 50.6 g of ch4 w
Ira Lisetskai [31]
Answer is: <span>1 mol CH</span>₄/<span>16,0 g CH</span>₄.
Chemical reaction: CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O.
m(CH₄) = 50,6g.
M(CH₄) = 16g/mol.
n(CH₄) = m(CH₄) ÷ M(CH₄) = 50,6g ÷16g/mol = 3,16mol.
n(CH₄) : n(CO₂) = 1:1.
nCO₂) = 3,16mol.
m(CO₂) = m(CO₂) · m(CO₂) = 3,16mol · 44g/mol = 139,15g.
M - molar mass.
n - amount of substance.

What is the concentration of nitrate ions in a 0.225 msr(no3)2 solution?
12345 [234]

Answer : The concentration of nitrate ions is 0.450 m.

Solution : Given,

Molarity of Sr(NO_3)_2 = 0.225 m

The balanced ionic equation is,

Sr(NO_3)_2\rightarrow Sr^{+2}+2NO^-_3

From the reaction, we conclude that the 1 mole of Sr(NO_3)_2 produces 2 moles of NO^-_3 ions. That means the concentration of nitrate ions is twice the value of Sr(NO_3)_2.

then, 0.225 m of Sr(NO_3)_2 gives 2 × 0.225 of NO^-_3 ions

Now the concentration of NO^-_3 ions is equal to 0.450 m.
