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.

Given: 2LiBr + I2 → 2LiI + Br2 Calculate the mass of bromine produced when 9.033 × 1023 particles of iodine (I2) react completel
Llana [10]

Answer:

239.7 g

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation

2 LiBr + I₂ → 2 LiI + Br₂

Step 2: Convert the molecules of iodine to moles

We have 9.033 × 10²³ particles (molecules) of iodine. In order to convert molecules to moles, we will use the <em>Avogadro's number</em>: there are 6.022 × 10²³ molecules of iodine in 1 mole of iodine.

9.033 \times 10^{23}molecule \times \frac{1mol}{6.022 \times 10^{23}molecule} =1.500mol

Step 3: Calculate the moles of bromine produced

The <em>molar ratio of I₂ to Br₂</em> is 1:1. Then, the moles of bromine produced are 1.500 moles.

Step 4: Calculate the mass of bromine

The <em>molar mass of bromine</em> is 159.81 g/mol. The mass corresponding to 1.500 moles is:

1.500mol \times \frac{159.81g}{mol} = 239.7 g

If 17. 6 g of hcl are used to produce a 14. 5 l solution, what is the ph of the solution?.
kati45 [8]

This problem is providing us with the mass of hydrochloric acid and the volume of solution and asks for the pH of the resulting solution, which turns out to be 1.477.

<h3>pH calculations</h3>

In chemistry, one can calculate the pH of a solution by firstly obtaining its molarity as the division of the moles of solute by the liters of solution, so in this case for HCl we have:

M=\frac{17.6g*\frac{1mol}{36.46g} }{14.5L} \\\\M=0.0333 M

Next, due to the fact that hydrochloric acid is a strong acid, we realize its concentration is nearly the same to the released hydrogen ions to the solution upon ionization. Thereby, the resulting pH is:

pH=-log(0.0333)\\\\pH=1.477

Which conserves as much decimals as significant figures in the molarity.

Which compound is most likely to contain ionic bonds? which compound is most likely to contain ionic bonds? mgf2 ch4 n2o?
AnnyKZ [126]
Answer is: MgF₂, magnesium fluoride.
Magnesium fluoride is salt, ionic compound, because magnesium is metal from 2. group of Periodic table of elements and has low ionisation energy and electronegativity, which means it easily lose valence electons, fluorine is nonmetal with greatest electronegativity, which meand it easily gain electron, so magnesium cation (Mg²⁺) and fluorine anion (F⁻) are formed.
