Answer:

a. 86,942 = 8.69x10⁴

f. 56,018 = 5.60x10⁴

b. 0.00621875 = 6.22x10⁻³

g. 0.003870 = 3.87x10⁻³

c. 107062.03 = 1.07x10⁵

h. 15.9994 = 16.0

d. 4.00049 = 4.00

i. 12.011 = 12.0

e. 96 = 9.60x10¹

j. 2,000 = 2.00x10³

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, rounding off each measurement to three significant figures, considering that if the fourth figure is five or more, the third one is rounded, we obtain:

a. 86,942 = 8.69x10⁴ (four places until the last digit and third digit is not rounded).

f. 56,018 = 5.60x10⁴ (four places until the last digit and third digit is not rounded).

b. 0.00621875 = 6.22x10⁻³ (three places until the first digit and third digit is rounded).

g. 0.003870 = 3.87x10⁻³ (three places until the first digit and third digit is not rounded).

c. 107062.03 = 1.07x10⁵ (five places until the last non-decimal digit and third digit is not rounded).

h. 15.9994 = 16.0 (those consecutive nines round the number to 16.0).

d. 4.00049 = 4.00

i. 12.011 = 12.0

e. 96 = 9.60x10¹ (exponential notation is needed since the number initially has two significant figures so an additional zero is added)

j. 2,000 = 2.00x10³ (three places until the last digit and third digit is not rounded).

Best regards.

Classify each of these reactions. A single reaction may fit more than one classification. Ba ( ClO 3 ) 2 ⟶ BaCl 2 + 3 O 2 Ba(ClO

Lena [83]

Answer: a) $Ba(ClO_3)_2\rightarrow BaCl_2+3O_2$ : Decomposition

b) $NaNO_2+HCl\rightarrow NaCl+HNO_2$ : double displacement

c) $CaO+CO_2\rightarrow CaCO_3$ : Synthesis (Combination)

d) $ZnSO_4+Mg\rightarrow MgSO_4+Zn$ : redox

Explanation:

Decomposition is a type of chemical reaction in which one reactant gives two or more than two products.

$Ba(ClO_3)_2\rightarrow BaCl_2+3O_2$

A double displacement reaction is one in which exchange of ions take place.

$NaNO_2+HCl\rightarrow NaCl+HNO_2$

Synthesis reaction is a chemical reaction in which two reactants are combining to form one product.

$CaO+CO_2\rightarrow CaCO_3$

Redox reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which oxidation and reduction takes place in one single reaction. The oxidation number of one element increases and the oxidation number of other element decreases.

$ZnSO_4+Mg\rightarrow MgSO_4+Zn$

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer : $O_2$ is the oxidizing agent and Fe is the reducing agent.

Explanation :

Reducing agent : It is defined as the agent which helps the other substance to reduce and itself gets oxidized. Thus, it will undergo oxidation reaction.

Oxidizing agent : It is defined as the agent which helps the other substance to oxidize and itself gets reduced. Thus, it will undergo reduction reaction.

The balanced redox reaction is :

$4Fe+3O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3$

The half oxidation-reduction reactions are:

Oxidation reaction : $Fe\rightarrow Fe^{3+}+3e^-$

Reduction reaction : $O_2+4e^-\rightarrow 2O^{2-}$

In order to balance the electrons, we multiply the oxidation reaction by 4 and reduction reaction by 3 then added both equation, we get the balanced redox reaction.

Oxidation reaction : $4Fe\rightarrow 4Fe^{3+}+12e^-$

Reduction reaction : $3O_2+12e^-\rightarrow 6O^{2-}$

$4Fe+3O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3$

In this reaction, $'Fe'$ is the reducing agent that loses an electron to another chemical species in a redox chemical reaction and itself gets oxidized and $'O_2'$ is the oxidizing agent that gain an electron to another chemical species in a redox chemical reaction and itself gets reduced.

Thus, $O_2$ is the oxidizing agent and Fe is the reducing agent.
