What I understood from my teacher when he was explaining is that when you round the given number from the measurements into scientific figures or scientific notations I think that's because they well help you do the math easy and help you in science basically

Calculate how much 95% ethyl alcohol will be required to dissolve 0.1 g of sulfanilamide at 78 c using volume calculate how much
Oduvanchick [21]
According to the source below, the solubility of sulfanilamide in 95% ethyl alcohol at 78°C is 210 mg/mL. Since 0.1 g = 100 mg, we can set up a proportion: 

(210 mg) / (1 mL) = (100 mg) / (x mL) Solving, x = 0.48 mL of 95% ethyl alcohol will be required.


I do not know previously the solubility of sulfanilamide in 95% ethyl alcohol. Let us accept the solubility you quoted here. 

100/210 = 0.47619047619.. ≈ 0.48 (ml) 

at 0C, the amount of sulfanilamide remains in the solution is: 14*(100/210) = 6.67 (mg), since you only have 0.48 ml solution. 

The volume of the solution will change a little by cooling from 78C to 0C. You may also consider this volume change if you have data.

What is the energy of a photon of green light whose frequency is 6.85 X 1014/seC?
Anvisha [2.4K]

Frequency of photon = is 6.85 X 10¹⁴ sec⁻¹

Energy of photon , E = hv

where h is Planck's constant, v is the frequency of photon

E = 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ J.s x 6.85 X 10¹⁴ s⁻¹

E = 4.54 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Therefore, the energy of a photon of green light is 4.54 x 10⁻¹⁹ J.
