Answer:
Non-zero digits are always significant.
Any zeros between two significant digits are significant.
A final zero or trailing zeros in the decimal portion ONLY are significant. If a number ends in zeros to the right of the decimal point, those zeros are significant.
Explanation:
1.138 has 4 significant figures, which are 1, 1, 3 and 8. The numbers after the decimal point are decimals and are significant figures.
<u>Answer:</u> The edge length of the unit cell is 0.461 nm
<u>Explanation:</u>
We are given:
Atomic radius of iridium = 0.163 nm
To calculate the edge length, we use the relation between the radius and edge length for FCC lattice:

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Hence, the edge length of the unit cell is 0.461 nm
Answer:
k = 1.3 x 10⁻³ s⁻¹
Explanation:
For a first order reaction the integrated rate law is
Ln [A]t/[A]₀ = - kt
where [A] are the concentrations of acetaldehyde in this case, t is the time and k is the rate constant.
We are given the half life for the concentration of acetaldehyde to fall to one half its original value, thus
Ln [A]t/[A]₀ = Ln 1/2[A]₀/[A]₀= Ln 1/2 = - kt
- 0.693 = - k(530s) ⇒ k = 1.3 x 10⁻³ s⁻¹
Explanation:
Charges on both magnesium and oxygen is 2. Though opposite in sign, they have equal charges so, both of them will be cancelled by each other.
As a result, formula of magnesium oxide is MgO and not
.
The student write the equation as
, it is not correct.
Therefore, given equation will be balanced as follows.

Since, number of atoms on both reactant and product side are equal. Hence, this equation is completely balanced.
