What is 3.311 x 10^24 in 2 sig figs?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Hunter-Best [27]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

D. 3.3 x 10^24

Explanation:

In a number representing a measurement, the significant figure are those digits that have a meaningful contribution to specify the resolution of the measurement.

When a number is written in scientific notation, it is written as:

N=m \cdot 10^n

where

m is the base

n is the exponent

When a number is written in this form, the number of significant figures is the number of digits contained in m.

In this problem, our number is initially written as

3.311\cdot 10^{24}

We see that here "m" contains 4 digits, so here we have 4 significant figures.

In order to reduce it to 2 significant figures, we have to rewrite 3.311 as 3.3, therefore the new number will be:

3.3\cdot 10^{24}

Which is option D.

For the reaction of oxygen and nitrogen to form nitric oxide, consider the following thermodynamic data: ΔH∘rxn 180.5 kJ/mol ΔS∘
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

7.28 × 10³ K

Explanation:

Let's consider the following reaction.

N₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2 NO(g)

The reaction is spontaneous when the standard Gibbs free energy (ΔG°) is negative. ΔG° is related to the standard enthalpy of the reaction (ΔH°) and the standard entropy of the reaction (ΔS°) through the following expression.

ΔG° = ΔH° - T . ΔS°

If ΔG° < 0,

ΔH° - T . ΔS° < 0

ΔH° < T . ΔS°

T > ΔH°/ΔS° = (180.5 × 10³ J/mol)/(24.8 J/mol.K) = 7.28 × 10³ K

The reaction is spontaneous above 7.28 × 10³ K.

Select one of the following statements that best describes a physical change in matter
babunello [35]

Explanation:

During a physical change only the physical properties of a matter such as it state and form.

Physical properties of matter tells us everything about what a substance is and when no change is occurring to its constituents.

  • In a physical change no new kind of matter is formed.
  • it usually involves no change in mass
  • requires little to no energy
  • they are easily reversible
  • examples are melting, boiling, freezing e.t.c

What is chemical weathering?
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

What is chemical weathering?  Your answer would be B. Abrasion

What are the three ways chemical weathering occurs?  1. Physical weathering

2. Chemical weathering , 3. Biological weathering

What is oxidation and what does it produce?  Cobalt-Oxide produces the colour blue. Hence the name "Cobalt Blue".

What is carbonation and what does it create?   The answers are A: It will not make enough food, and C: It will not convert enough CO2 into Glucose.

What is hydration and what does it do?   However, lipids are good for storage. Lipids are made up of triglyceride molecules, which are phosphate molecules with 3 long alkyl chains bound to it. Carbohydrate is a biological molecule consisting of carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O).Both Carbohydrates and lipids (fats) are important sources of energy.

In what type of environment is chemical weathering most likely to occur?   Chemical weathering happens the most in Tropical climates.
