There are 3 significant digits in 5.40.

(To help understand): Sig figs are just a way of simplifying a number.

Hey!
" 5.40 " have 3 significant figures

I'll explain it in an easy way.
The significant figures are "5" , "4" & "0" Since , zero comes after the decimal point. It can also be reported as a significant figure :)

If 8.6 g of ch4 and 5.9 g of o2 react, what is the mass, in grams, of h2o that is produced?
Alenkasestr [34]
This may seem confusing because they give you two masses, but all you have to do is pick one to do the calculations. Personally, I would pick O2, since the molar mass is easier to calculate. The answer would be 3.3 g (rounded for sig figs). To get this, first take the 5.9 grams of O2 and convert it to moles by dividing by the molar mass of oxygen gas, which is 32. Then, multiply both by the mole-mole ratio, which is 2:2, or simply 1:1. After that, multiply that by 18g, which is the molar mass of water to get grams of water. 

REMEMBER, you have to write and balance the chemical equation before you can do any of that work. 
That happens to be CH4 + 2O2 => CO2 + 2H2O

A 10.21 mol sample of argon gas is maintained in a 0.7564 L container at 296.9 K. What is the pressure in atm calculated using t
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

The pressure in atm calculated using the van der Waals' equation, is 337.2atm

Explanation:

This is the Van der Waals equation for real gases:

(P + a/v² ) ( v-b) = R .T

where P is pressure

v is Volume/mol

R is the gas constant and T, T° in K

a y b are constant for each gas, so those values are data, from the statement.

[P + 1.345 L²atm/mol² / (0.7564L/10.21mol)² ] (0.7564L/10.21mol - 3.219×10-2 L/mol ) = 0.082 L.atm/mol.K  .  296.9K

[P + 1.345 L²atm/mol² / 5.48X10⁻³ L²/mol²] (0.074 L/mol - 3.219×10-2 L/mol ) = 0.082 L.atm/mol.K  .  296.9K

(P + 245.05 atm) (0.04181L/mol) = 0.082 L.atm/mol.K  .  296.9K

(P + 245.05 atm) (0.04181L/mol) = 24.34 L.atm/mol

0.04181L/mol .P + 10.24 L.atm/mol = 24.34 L.atm/mol

0.04181L/mol .P = 24.34 L.atm/mol - 10.24 L.atm/mol

0.04181L/mol. P = 14.1 L.atm/mol

P = 14.1 L.atm/mol / 0.04181 mol/L

P = 337.2 atm
