Bill, a lab technician, was asked to measure out sodium hydroxide (NaOH) for an experiment in a research lab. He was given a cho

ice between a beaker, a graduated cylinder, and a buret (shown left). Bill used a graduated cylinder to measure the liquid NaOH because he says, “a graduated cylinder is the most accurate way to measure a liquid!” Do you agree or disagree with Bill? Use significant figures to justify your answer.

Answer:

He is wrong . Most accurate is Buret .

Explanation:

The number of significant figure denotes the level of accuracy of a measurement .

Beaker can measure liquid in mL upto significant figure of 2 . That means it can measure volume in terms of 10 , 20 , 30mL etc . It can not measure 25 mL

accurately . The last figure of 28 mL is read by guess in the question . So it is not an accurate measurement .

Similarly , graduated cylinder can measure liquid upto significant figure of 3 .  That means it can measure volume in terms of 11 , 22 , 33 mL etc . It can not measure 25.5  mL accurately . The last figure of 28.3  mL is read by guess in the question . So it is less  accurate measurement .

Similarly , buret  can measure liquid upto significant figure of 4 .  That means it can measure volume in terms of 11.2 , 22.3 , 33.5 mL etc . It can not measure 25.53  mL accurately . The last figure of 28.32  mL is read by guess in the question . So it is most accurate among all the three instrument because it can measure accurately mL upto one tenth of it .

A chemical bond is formed between magnesium and chlorine. Describe the process and identify the nature of the chemical bond.
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: b

Explanation:

a. Magnesium shares an electron somewhat unevenly from its 3s orbital with the 3p orbital of chlorine producing a mildly polar covalent bond.  This option is wrong because Mg does not share electrons it loses electrons.

b. Magnesium loses and electron from the 3s and gives it up to the 3p of chlorine producing an ionic bond.  This option is correct, Mg loses one electron and Cl receives it, the bond formed between Mg and Cl is ionic.

c. Magnesium does not react chemically with chlorine because magnesium gives up electrons, but chlorine only shares electrons.  This answer is wrong, Mg and Cl react and produce MgCl₂.

d. Magnesium shares an electron from the 3s orbital with the 3p orbital of chlorine producing a covalent bond. Mg does not share electrons and is not able to produce covalent bonds.

Calculate how many moles of NH3 form when each quantity of reactant completely reacts according to the equation:
sergiy2304 [10]
The balanced chemical reaction is:

<span>3N2H4(l)→4NH3(g)+N2(g)
</span>
The amounts given for the N2H4 reactant will be the starting point for our calculations.

2.6mol N2H4 ( 4 mol NH3 / 3 mol N2H4 ) = 3.47 mol NH3

4.05mol N2H4 ( 4 mol NH3 / 3 mol N2H4 ) = 5.4 mol NH3

63.8g N2H4  <span>( 4 mol NH3 / 3 mol N2H4 ) = 85.07 mol NH3</span>
