Explain why science is is you significant digits

1 answer:

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.

The alkali metals all react with water. which is the most reactive metal?

kifflom [539]

Alkali Metals (Group 1) elements experience an increase in the vigour of their reaction in water as they go down the group (as the atomic number increase). As such the most reactive Alkali Metal would be FRANCIUM, which is at the base of Group One.

Quite frankly, you do not want Francium to react with water- that's a huge explosion on your hand.

Analysis of a gaseous chlorofluorocarbon, CClxFy, shows that it contains 11.79% C and 69.57% Cl. In another experiment, you find

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

The molecular formula = $C_2Cl_{4}F_2$

Explanation:

$Moles =\frac {Given\ mass}{Molar\ mass}$

% of C = 11.79

Molar mass of C = 12.0107 g/mol

% moles of C = 11.79 / 12.0107 = 0.9816

% of Cl = 69.57

Molar mass of Cl = 35.453 g/mol

% moles of Cl = 69.57 / 35.453 = 1.9623

Given that the gaseous chlorofluorocarbon only contains chlorine, flourine and carbon. So,

% of F = 100% - % of C - % of C = 100 - 11.79 - 69.57 = 18.64

Molar mass of F = 18.998 g/mol

% moles of F = 18.64 / 18.998 = 0.9812

Taking the simplest ratio for C, Cl and F as:

0.9816 : 1.9623 : 0.9812

= 1 : 2 : 1

The empirical formula is = $CCl_2F$

Also, Given that:

Pressure = 21.3 mm Hg

Also, P (mm Hg) = P (atm) / 760

Pressure = 21.3 / 760 = 0.02803 atm

Temperature = 25 °C

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15

So,

T = (25 + 273.15) K = 298.15 K

Volume = 458 mL = 0.458 L (1 mL = 0.001 L)

Using ideal gas equation as:

PV=nRT

where,

P is the pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

T is the temperature

R is Gas constant having value = 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol

Applying the equation as:

0.02803 atm × 0.458 L = n × 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol × 298.15 K

⇒n = 0.00052445 moles

Given that :

Amount = 0.107 g

Molar mass = ?

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

Thus,

$0.00052445= \frac{0.107\ g}{Molar\ mass}$

$Molar\ mass= 204.0233\ g/mol$

Molecular formulas is the actual number of atoms of each element in the compound while empirical formulas is the simplest or reduced ratio of the elements in the compound.

Thus,

Molecular mass = n × Empirical mass

Where, n is any positive number from 1, 2, 3...

Mass from the Empirical formula = 1×12.0107 + 2×35.453 + 1×18.998 = 101.9147 g/mol

Molar mass = 204.0233 g/mol

So,

Molecular mass = n × Empirical mass

204.0233 = n × 101.9147

⇒ n = 2

The molecular formula = $C_2Cl_{4}F_2$

Draw all four products obtained when 2-ethyl-3-methyl-1,3-cyclohexadiene is treated with HBr at room temperature and show the me

LenKa [72]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

In this case we have reaction of addition. In this case a diene reacting with an acid as HBr. This reaction is known as Hydrohalogenation, and, as we have a diene, this kind of reaction can be done as 1,4 addition. Which means that the reaction will be undergoing with an adition in the carbon 1, and carbon 4.

At room temperature we can expect that this reaction can be done in thermodynamic conditions, Now, as the problem states that is forming 4 products, we can expect products of a 1,2 addition too. This product can be formed if the reaction is taking place in the most stable carbocation, and then, by resonance, we can expect the 1,4 product too.

Now, the HBr can be attacked by the double bond of the first position, giving two possible products or by the double bond of the third position giving the other two products. These products are all possible, obviously the most stable will be the major of all of them, but the other three are perfectly possible. One product is formed without doing much, and the other by resonance. Same happens with the other double bond.

In the picture below, you have the mechanism for all the 4 products.

Hope this helps
