How do i find the square root of a number

Chemistry
1 answer:
DochEvi [55]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Using the Guess Method

Explanation:

Finding the square root of a number is an automatic action in tools such as calculator and Excel without any rationale behind it. Hence, I find it more useful to describe as I learned at school: the guess and approach method (it can go by various other names).

The square root of a number is ‘a number which produces a specified quantity when multiplied by itself’.  

The Guess Method is guessing that number by approximation until getting exactly the right one.

For example, we want to know the square root of, let’s say, 144. We know that 10*10 is 100. That’s close. Let’s add 1 to that. 11*11 is 121. Getting closer! 12*12 is… 144! Right on! Therefore, the square root of 144 is 12.

I used that technique every time I had to do the math by hand, no matter the number. I thought of a number that could be somewhat close enough (I would guess! Got the method name now? Lol) and adjust until I got my answer right.

A 20.0-milliliter sample of 0.200 M K2CO3 solution is added to 30.0 milliliters of 0.400 M Ba(NO3)2 solution.
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

(B) 0.160 M

Explanation:

Considering:

Molarity=\frac{Moles\ of\ solute}{Volume\ of\ the\ solution}

Or,

Moles =Molarity \times {Volume\ of\ the\ solution}

Given :

For K_2CO_3 :

Molarity = 0.200 M

Volume = 20.0 mL

The conversion of mL to L is shown below:

1 mL = 10⁻³ L

Thus, volume = 20.0×10⁻³ L

Thus, moles of K_2CO_3 :

Moles=0.200 \times {20.0\times 10^{-3}}\ moles

Moles of K_2CO_3 = 0.004 moles

For Ba(NO_3)_2 :

Molarity = 0.400 M

Volume = 30.0 mL

The conversion of mL to L is shown below:

1 mL = 10⁻³ L

Thus, volume =30.0×10⁻³ L

Thus, moles of Ba(NO_3)_2 :

Moles=0.400\times {30.0\times 10^{-3}}\ moles

Moles of Ba(NO_3)_2  = 0.012 moles

According to the given reaction:

K_2CO_3_{(aq)}+Ba(NO_3)_2_{(aq)}\rightarrow BaCO_3_{(s)}+2KNO_3_{(aq)}

1 mole of potassium carbonate react with 1 mole of barium nitrate

0.004 moles potassium carbonate react with 0.004 mole of barium nitrate

Moles of barium nitrate  = 0.004 moles

Available moles of barium nitrate  =  0.012 moles

Limiting reagent is the one which is present in small amount. Thus, potassium carbonate is limiting reagent.

The formation of the product is governed by the limiting reagent. So,

1 mole of potassium carbonate gives 1 mole of barium carbonate

Also,

0.004 mole of potassium carbonate gives 0.004 mole of barium carbonate

Mole of barium carbonate = 0.004 moles

Also, consumed barium nitrate = 0.004 moles  (barium ions precipitate with carbonate ions)

Left over moles = 0.012 - 0.004 moles = 0.008 moles

Total volume = 20.0 + 30.0 mL = 50.0 mL = 0.05 L

So, Concentration = 0.008/0.05 M = 0.160 M

<u>(B) is correct.</u>

Look at the picture of two different substances above. Which substance is a mixture? A. Y and Z
Feliz [49]

Answer:

option B is correct.

Y is a mixture in the picture.

Explanation:

Different types of substances combine physically and form a mixture.  

Mixture formed by the combination of two or more substances that that combine in same physical state.

For example mixture of copper sulphate and solid chloride in dry form and that will look like white and blue crystal in a mixture.

The picture Z showing dots of same color and is not a mixture, while picture Y shows dots of different colors clearly indicating that it is picture for mixture.

What was the significance of Thompson’s Plum Pudding model of the atom?
Pani-rosa [81]

The Plum Pudding Model is a model of atomic structure proposed by J.J. Thomson in the late 19th century. Thomson had discovered that atoms are composite objects, made of pieces with positive and negative charge, and that the negatively charged electrons within the atom were very small compared to the entire atom.

Which term represents the fixed proportion of elements in a compound
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

Chemical formula.

Explanation:

A chemical formula have fix proportion of atoms of elements.

Chemical formula:

A chemical formula is the way of presenting the chemical proportion of atoms of those elements, that combine to form a compound.

For example:

Water consist of two atom of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen. The atoms of both elements combine to form a compound i.e water. The atoms of both elements always combine in a fixed ratio which is 2:1 in molecule of water.

H₂O

2:1

Carbon dioxide consist of two atom of oxygen and one atom of carbon. The atoms of both elements combine to form a compound i.e carbon dioxide. The atoms of both elements always combine in a fixed ratio which is 1:2 in molecule of carbon dioxide .

CO₂

1;2
