7 0

Answer:

2600 kg has 4 significant figures

Explanation:

Any different number to zero is a significant figure

For example, 1.8 → 2 significant figures

When you have 0 in the middle of two numbers, we consider it as a significant number

For example, 3.02 → 3 significant figures

When you have 0 on the left in the measure, we do not consider as a sgnificant figures

For example 0.0010 → 2 significant figures (10)

3.0 → 2 significant figures (0 is on the right, not the left)

Hydrochloric acid reacts faster with powdered zinc than with an equal mass of zinc strips because the greater the surface area o

inysia [295]

Answer:

increases the frequency of particle collisions

Explanation:

One factor upon which the rate of reaction depends is the surface area of reactants.

According to the collision theory, reactions occur when reactant particles having the required (activation) energy collide with each other, this collision is inelastic. However, collision of particles having energies less than the activation energy results in elastic collisions and no chemical reaction.

The more the exposed surface area of reactants, the greater the number of particles that come into contact with each other and the more the chances of frequent effective collisions that lead to reaction.

Thus, powdered zinc reacts faster with hydrochloric acid than zinc strips

A 215-g sample of copper metal at some temperature is added to 26.6 g of water. The initial water temperature is 22.22 oC, and t

andrezito [222]

The initial temperature of the copper metal was 27.38 degrees.

Explanation:

Data given:

mass of the copper metal sample = 215 gram

mass of water = 26.6 grams

Initial temperature of water = 22.22 Degrees

Final temperature of water = 24.44 degrees

Specific heat capacity of water = 0.385 J/g°C

initial temperature of copper material , Ti=?

specific heat capacity of water = 4.186 joule/gram °C

from the principle of:

heat lost = heat gained

heat gained by water is given by:

q water = mcΔT

Putting the values in the equation:

qwater = 26.6 x 4.186 x (2.22)

qwater = 247.19 J

qcopper = 215 x 0.385 x (Ti-24.4)

= 82.77Ti - 2019.71

Now heat lost by metal = heat gained by water

82.77Ti - 2019.71 = 247.19

Ti = 27.38 degrees

At a certain temperature, 4.0 mol NH3 is introduced into a 2.0 L container, and the NH3 partially dissociates by the reaction. 2

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

K = 3.37

Explanation:

2 NH₃(g) → N₂(g) + 3H₂(g)

Initially we have 4 mol of ammonia, and in equilibrium we have 2 moles, so we have to think, that 2 moles have been reacted (4-2).

2 NH₃(g) → N₂(g) + 3H₂(g)

Initally 4moles - -

React 2moles 2m + 3m

Eq 2 moles 2m 3m

We had produced 2 moles of nitrogen and 3 mol of H₂ (ratio is 2:3)

The expression for K is: ( [H₂]³ . [N₂] ) / [NH₃]²

We have to divide the concentration /2L, cause we need MOLARITY to calculate K (mol/L)

K = ( (2m/2L) . (3m/2L)³ ) / (2m/2L)²

K = 27/8 / 1 → 3.37
