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.

80g of sodium hydroxide reacts with excess sulfuric acid to produce 142g of sodium sulfate. What mass of sodium hydroxide would
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

Mass of sodium hydroxide needed  = 28.2 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of sodium hydroxide = 80 g

Mass of sodium sulfate produced = 142 g

Mass of sodium hydroxide needed = ?

Mass of sodium sulfate produced = 50 g

Solution:

Mass of sodium sulfate produced / Mass of sodium hydroxide = Mass of sodium sulfate produced / x

142 g/ 80 g = 50 g / x

x = 50 g × 80 g / 142 g

x =4000 g/ 142

x = 28.2 g

As the temperature of a gas increases, _____. (select all the options that correctly complete the sentence.)
weeeeeb [17]

As the temperature of a gas increases, the average kinetic energy of the gas particles increases and the average speed of a gas particle increases.

According to the kinetic theory of gases, all gases are made of microscopic molecules that move in straight lines until they bump into another gas molecule or object. This transfer of energy causes molecules to move around faster and bump into each other more.

Kinetic energy is proportional to the speed of the molecules. As the speed of the colliding molecules increases, so does the total kinetic energy of all the gas molecules. It's pretty difficult to measure the speed of an individual gas molecule.

Instead, temperature can be used as a measure of the average kinetic energy of all the molecules in the gas. As the gas molecules gain energy and move faster, the temperature goes up. This is why Amy feels warmer!

To determine the average kinetic energy of gas molecules, we need to know the temperature of the gas, the universal gas constant (R), and Avogadro's number (NA).

How are density and state of matter related to the physical properties of a substance?
Artemon [7]

Answer:

Density by giving the object it's weight/volume. State of matter by giving its chemical substances and physical shape.

Explanation:

State of matter, (solid, liquid, or a gas) determines the main physical property of a substance. If it's a liquid, it would have an indefinite shape/physical appearance. If the object is a solid than the shape would have a definite shape/physical appearance. Density is defined as mass per volume which means the weight of an object divided by the volume determines the density of the object. You would have the volume (the amount of space an object takes up) and the mass (weight of the object) if you have the objects density.

To conclude, both density and the objects state of matter determine the physical properties of a substance. "Density the weight and volume, and the state of matter is the shape/chemical properties of the substance."

Hope this helps.

Please help. thank youuuu
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

'See Explanation

Explanation:

Determine the [OH−] , pH, and pOH of a solution with a [H+] of 9.5×10−13 M at 25 °C.

Given [H⁺] = 9.5 x 10⁻¹³M => [H⁺][OH⁻] = 1.0 x 10⁻¹⁴ => [OH⁻] = 1.0 x 10⁻¹⁴/9.5 x 10⁻¹³ = 0.0105M

pH = -log[H⁺] = -log(9.5 x 10⁻¹³) = - (-1202) = 12.02.

pOH = -log[OH⁻] = -log(0.0105) = -(-1.98) = 1.98

Now you use the same sequence in the remaining problems.
