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

If you want to prepare 5 liters of a 0.35m solution of nh4cl, how many grams of salt
harina [27]
Answer is: mass fo ammonium chloride is 93.625 grams.
V(NH₄Cl) = 5 L.
c(NH₄Cl) = 0.35 M.
n(NH₄Cl) = V(NH₄Cl) · c(NH₄Cl).
n(NH₄Cl) = 5 L · 0.35 mol/L.
n(NH₄Cl) = 1.75 mol.
M(NH₄Cl) = 14 + 1·4 + 35.5 · g/mol = 53.5 g/mol.
m(NH₄Cl) = n(NH₄Cl) · M(NH₄Cl).
m(NH₄Cl) = 1.75 mol · 53.5 g/mol.
m(NH₄Cl) = 93.625 g.

Is air an element, compound or mixture? explain your answer
emmainna [20.7K]

It is a mixture because the compounds that make up air e.g. oxygen (o2), Carbon dioxide (co2) and the most important Nitrogen which is an element and makes up 78.09% of air are not chemically bound in the way that compounds are because they can be separated easily and there has been no change in state to any of the compounds or elements in air!hope this helpful!

What is the molarity of a sodium chloride solution made by dissolving 4.512 moles to make 2.0 L?
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

2.40 M

Explanation:

The molarity of a solution tells you how many moles of solute you get per liter of solution.

Notice that the problem provides you with the volume of the solution expressed in milliliters,

mL

. Right from the start, you should remember that you must convert this volume to liters by using the conversion factor

1 L

=

10

3

mL

Now, in order to get the number of moles of solute, you must use its molar mass. Now, molar masses are listed in grams per mol,

g mol

−

1

, which means that you're going to have to convert the mass of the sample from milligrams to grams

1 g

=

10

3

mg

Sodium chloride,

NaCl

, has a molar mass of

58.44 g mol

−

1

, which means that your sample will contain

This means that the molarity of the solution will be

The answer is rounded to three sig figs, the number of sig figs you have for the volume of the solution.

At 300.0 K and 0.987 atm pressure, what will be the volume of 2.30 mol of Ne?
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

V = 57.39 L

Explanation:

Given that,

Temperature, T = 300 K

Pressure, P = 0.987 atm

No. of moles of Ne, n = 2.30 mol

We need to find the volume of Ne. We know that, the ideal gas law is as follows :

PV = nRT

Where

P is pressure and R is gas constant

V=\dfrac{nRT}{P}\\\\V=\dfrac{2.3\times 0.0821\times 300}{0.987 }\\\\V=57.39\ L

So, the volume of the Ne is 57.39 L.
