It condenses very long strings of numbers while retaining the general accuracy of the figure.

Scientific notation comes in handy because it lets us take very big or very small numbers, get rid of all the zeroes,  and write them in a very compact and very simple way that's much easier to use. Also, big numbers aren't just a pain to deal with because of all the digits but they're also hard to quickly evaluate and compare with other numbers.

How would an apple, potato, and onion all taste the same?
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

If you were to plug your nose, it would block out more than 80% of taste, causing all three items to have no taste- therefore making them taste the same.

The electronegativity of nitrogen (N) is 3.0, while the electronegativity of hydrogen (H) is 2.1. Knowing this, consider how the
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

NH3 is polar due to the bonds between nitrogen and hydrogen which have different electronegativity and due also to its asymmetrical shape.

Explanation:

NH3 is polar as there are 3 dipoles in the ammonia molecule that do not balance each other out.

Considering the N-H bond which is polar because N with an electronegativy of 3.0, is more electronegative than H, with an electronegativity of 2.1. The is overall asymmetrical shape of NH3

means that the dipoles remains unbalanced and do cancel out each other making the NH3 polar.

n order to balance the following reaction S n+Cl 2→ S nCl 4, which coefficient should be inserted in front of chlorine?
victus00 [196]

Answer:

The coefficient that should be inserted in front of chlorine is 2

Explanation:

Sn  +  2Cl₂   →  SnCl₄

As we have 4 atoms of chlorine in product side, we need 4 Cl in reactant side.

Chlorine is a diatomic atom, so if we have 2 mol of it, we are having 4 atoms of Cl.

The law of conservation of mass must be respected in every chemical equation

13. How many electrons are transferred in the following reaction? (The reaction is unbalanced.) Fe(s) + I'(aq) 12(s) + Fe3+(aq)
Nat2105 [25]

Answer : The correct option is, (C) 6

Explanation :

Oxidation-reduction reaction : It is a reaction in which oxidation and reduction reaction occur simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction : It is the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. In this oxidation state increases.

Reduction reaction : It is the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. In this oxidation state decreases.

The given unbalanced chemical reaction is,

Fe(s)+I^-(aq)\rightarrow I_2(s)+Fe^{3+}(aq)

Half reactions of oxidation and reduction are :

Oxidation : Fe(s)\rightarrow Fe^{3+}+3e^-        ......(1)

Reduction : 2I^-(aq)+2e^-\rightarrow I_2         .......(2)

In order to balance the electrons, we multiply equation 1 by 2 and equation 2 by 3, we get:

Oxidation : 2Fe(s)\rightarrow 2Fe^{3+}+6e^-        ......(1)

Reduction : 6I^-(aq)+6e^-\rightarrow 3I_2         .......(2)

The overall balanced chemical reaction will be:

2Fe(s)+6I^-(aq)\rightarrow 3I_2(s)+2Fe^{3+}(aq)

From this reaction we conclude that the electrons are getting transferred from iron to iodine and the number of electrons transferred are 6 electrons.

Hence, the correct option is, (C) 6
