Explain why science is is you significant digits

Chemistry
1 answer:
-BARSIC- [3]3 years ago
7 0
Why use significant digits you ask? Significant digits or significant figures are use as to not be too precise of an actual calculated measure.
Long decimal numbers location like 3.45 * sqrt of 3 gives 5.975575286112627.
That number is too precise.

Rounding it to 5.98 shows an exact closeness to the precision of the measure.

Calculate the empirical formula for each stimulant based on its elemental mass percent composition.
Vanyuwa [196]
A.   
elements                              C                H          N
percentage composition    74.03          8.70       17.27
Molecular mass                   12                1          14

# of mole                            6.17              8.70        1.23

÷smallest mole                    5.0                 7.0           1.0

mole ratio                              5    :               7      ;       1

THE EMPERICAL FORMUKLA FOR A. IS  C5H7O

NOTE: #of mole = percentage composition ÷ Mr
            and the ÷ smallest mole is used to find the ratio...for the above question a. it is 1.23


and b. should be done using the same procedure

The mass percent of Cl⁻ in a seawater sample is determined by titrating 25.00 mL of seawater with AgNO₃ solution, causing a prec
Serga [27]

Answer:

2.5 %

Explanation:

Considering:

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

Or,

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

Given :

For AgNO_3 :

Molarity = 0.2850 M

Volume = 63.30 mL

The conversion of mL to L is shown below:

1 mL = 10⁻³ L

Thus, volume = 63.30 × 10⁻³ L

Thus, moles of AgNO_3 :

Moles=0.2850 \times {63.30\times 10^{-3}}\ moles

Moles of AgNO_3  = 0.0180405 moles

Moles of AgNO_3  = Moles of Cl^-

Thus, Moles of Cl^- = 0.0180405 moles

Molar mass of Cl^- = 35.453 g/mol

Mass = Moles * Molar mass = 0.0180405 moles * 35.453 g/mol = 0.6396 g

Volume of sea water = 25.00 mL

Density = 1.024 g/mL

Density = Mass / Volume

Mass = Density * Volume = 1.024 g/mL * 25.00 mL = 25.6 g

Mass\ \%=\frac{Mass_{Chloride ion}}{Total\ mass}\times 100

Mass\ \%=\frac{0.6396}{25.6}\times 100

<u>Mass percent of Cl⁻ = 2.5 %</u>

What will create a insoluble salt with a potassium ion
navik [9.2K]

Explanation:

1) The dissolution of the salt potassium sulfite:

K₂SO₃(aq) → 2K⁺(aq) + SO₃²⁻(aq).

Potassium has +1 charge because it lost one electron to accomplish stabile electron configuration of noble gas argon.

2) From dissolution reaction: n(K⁺) : n(SO₃²⁻) = 2 : 1.

n(K⁺) = 0.700 mol.

0.700 mol : n(SO₃²⁻) = 2 : 1.

n(SO₃²⁻) = 0.700 mol ÷ 2.

n(SO₃²⁻) = 0.350 mol; amount of sulfite anions.
