significant figures are digits read directly from measuring instrument plus one more digit, which is ______ by the observer

Estimated by the observer.

Take a buret, you can read to the 0.1 mL directly from the device, but the amount may lie between the 0.1 marks so you can estimate how far between the marks the fluid lies.

Why is magnesium the limiting reactant in this experiment

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

Explanation:

Magnesium is being oxidized by the oxygen in the air to magnesium oxide. This is a highly exothermic combustion reaction, giving off intense heat and light. The reaction of the combustion of magnesium in oxygen is given below:

2Mg(s) + O2(g) → 2MgO(s)

The stoichiometric factor is 2 moles of magnesium are burned for every 1 mole of oxygen (2mol Mg/1mol O2). If the magnesium strip weighs 1 gram, then there is 0.04 mol of magnesium (1 gram divided by 24.3 grams/mol Mg) available in the reaction. The amount of oxygen required to completely react with the magnesium strip is:

0.04 mol Mg x (1 mol O2 / 2 mol Mg) = 0.02 mol O2 x 16 g/mol O2 = 0.32 gram O2.

The magnesium will burn until consumed entirely. There is much more oxygen available in the atmosphere than needed to consume the magnesium. Thus the magnesium is the limiting reactant because it determines the amount of product formed.

A 15kg dog jumps out of a 40kg canoe. If the dogs velocity is 1.2m/s, what is the velocity of the canoe?

vivado [14]

Answer:

v = -0.45 m/s

Explanation:

Assuming the canoe was initially at rest with momentum L = 0

and that the dog's velocity is in the positive direction

conservation of momentum

0 = 15(1.2) + 40v

v = -0.45 m/s

If an object travels at a constant speed in a circular path, the acceleration of the object is:

Vilka [71]

Answer:

1- The acceleration of the object is larger in magnitude the smaller the radius of the circle.

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object in a circular path is

$a = \frac{v^2}{r}$

As can be seen from the equation, if the radius of the circle is decreases, the magnitude of the acceleration increases.

As for the direction of the acceleration, it is always towards the center, and it is always perpendicular to the direction of the velocity.
