5 0

Answer: D. 4

Explanation:

For numbers with decimal point, we should start counting from the first number that non-zero from the left.

0.0001372

We start counting from 1, since it is the first non-zero number

1, 3, 7, 2

There are in total 4 significant figures

Hope this helps!! :)

Please let me know if you have any question or need further explanation

A mixture of carbon dioxide and helium gases is maintained in a 7.91 L flask at a pressure of 1.42 atm and a temperature of 33 °
Crank

Answer:

The gas mixture contains 1.038 grams of helium

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

Volume of the flask = 7.91 L

Total Pressure = 1.42 atm

Temperature = 33 °C

Mass of CO2 = 8.25 grams

Molar mass of CO2 = 44.01 g/mol

Molar mass of He = 4 g/mol

<u>Step 2</u>: Calculate total number moles of gas

p*V = n*R*T

⇒ p = the pressure = 1.42 atm

⇒ V = the volume = 7.91 L

⇒ n= the number of moles = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ R = the gas constant = 0.08206 L* atm/K*mol

⇒ T = the temperature = 33 °C = 306 Kelvin

n = (p*V)/(R*T)

n = (1.42*7.91)/(0.08206 * 306)

n = 0.447 moles

<u>Step 3</u>: Calculate moles of CO2

Moles CO2 = mass CO2 / Molar mass CO2

Moles CO2 = 8.25 grams / 44.01 g/mol

Moles CO2 = 0.1875 moles

<u>Step 4:</u> Calculate moles of Helium

Moles Helium = total moles of gas - moles of CO2

Moles Helium = 0.447 - 0.1875 = 0.2595 moles of helium

<u>Step 5: </u> Calculate mass of helium

Mass of helium = moles of helium * molar mass of helium

Mass of helium = 0.2595 moles * 4 g/mol

Mass of helium = 1.038 grams

The gas mixture contains 1.038 grams of helium

What is the mass of 0.257 mol of calcium nitrate?
poizon [28]

Answer: 42.14 g

Explanation:      calcium nitrate -  Ca(NO_{3} )_{2}

                   , the molar mass of calcium nitrate = 164 g

<h3>                   formula used = given mass/molar mass= no of moles </h3>

                   mass required =0.257*164

                                               =42.14 g
