Give the number of significant figures in this number: 7.8 x 10¹²

Chemistry
1 answer:
denis-greek [22]4 years ago

The number is written in scientific notation.


The significant figures are the numbers known precisely plus 1 digit that is uncertain.


When the numbers are expressed in scientific notation all the digits before  10^n are significant.


So, 7 and 8 are significant figures and the answer is that the number of significant figures is 2.

For a particular reaction at 235.8 °C, ΔG=−936.92 kJ/mol , and ΔS=513.79 J/(mol⋅K) . Calculate ΔG for this reaction at −9.9 °C.
Rudik [331]

Answer:

-138.9 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Step 1: Convert 235.8°C to the Kelvin scale

We will use the following expression.

K = °C + 273.15 = 235.8°C + 273.15 = 509.0 K

Step 2: Calculate the standard enthalpy of reaction (ΔH°)

We will use the following expression.

ΔG° = ΔH° - T.ΔS°

ΔH° = ΔG° / T.ΔS°

ΔH° = (-936.92kJ/mol) / 509.0K × 0.51379 kJ/mol.K

ΔH° = -3.583 kJ (for 1 mole of balanced reaction)

Step 3: Convert -9.9°C to the Kelvin scale

K = °C + 273.15 = -9.9°C + 273.15 = 263.3 K

Step 4: Calculate ΔG° at 263.3 K

ΔG° = ΔH° - T.ΔS°

ΔG° = -3.583 kJ/mol - 263.3 K × 0.51379 kJ/mol.K

ΔG° = -138.9 kJ/mol

The normal freezing point of water is 0.00 ⁰C. What is the freezing point of a solution containing450.0 mg of ethylene glycol (M
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Freezing T° of solution = - 8.98°C

Explanation:

We apply Freezing point depression to solve this problem, the colligative property that has this formula:

Freezing T° of pure solvent - Freezing T° of solution = Kf . m

Kf = 1.86°C/m, this is a constant which is unique for each solvent. In this case, we are using water

m = molality (moles of solute / 1kg of solvent)

We convert the mass of solvent from g to kg

1.5 g . 1kg/1000g = 0.0015 kg

We convert the mass of solute, to moles. Firstly we make this conversion, from mg to g → 450mg . 1g/1000mg = 0.450 g

0.450 g. 1mol / 62.07g = 7.25×10⁻³ moles

Molality → 7.25×10⁻³ mol / 0.0015 kg = 4.83 m

- Freezing T° of solution = 1.86°C /m . 4.83 m - Freezing T° of pure solvent

-Freezing T° of solution = 1.86°C /m . 4.83 m - 0°C

Freezing T° of solution = - 8.98°C

NOBLE GASSES) Why’ are they Inert tho
igomit [66]

Answer:

Why?  Because of electron shells.  Technically, they're not fully inert.  They have very low reactivity potential, and can only be forced to become reactive with difficulty.

Explanation:

All chemical reactivity is made possible through the atom's electron arrangement.  Electrons basically have shelves where they live, called "levels" or "shells".  Each level is farther from the nucleus than the previous one.  Atoms are most stable when their outer most shell (called the valence shell) is full.  Atoms with an incomplete shell will react with other atoms, in an attempt to either fill out the outer shell, or to rid itself of it's valence electrons so that that previous level becomes a full valence level.  If the valence shell ils already full, the atom will not be inclined to create compounds.

The first shell can hold up to two electrons.  After the first two electrons, any additional electrons have to begin a new shell.  The second shell can hold eight electrons before it becomes full.  Helium is the first noble gas on the periodic table, having two protons and two electrons.  Because helium's outer most shell is full, it does not react with other atoms.

By comparison, look at hydrogen and oxygen.  Oxygen has eight electrons.  The first two electrons occupy the first shell.  The remaining six go to the second shell.  This leaves the second shell with two empty spaces that can potentially be filled.  Meanwhile, hydrogen has one electron, with it's valence shell having an empty space for one additional electron.  Two hydrogen atoms give up their single electrons to an oxygen atom, so that all three end up with stable valence levels.

By the time an atom can fill out the second electron shell on it's own (10 total electrons) you end up with neon, the second noble gas.

How many protons and neutrons does the isotope Ab-298 have? 118 protons and 200 neutrons 200 protons and 178 neutrons 119 proton
damaskus [11]

Answer:

119 protons and 179 neutrons

Explanation:

Given an element of the form AB-298, we know that 298 is the mass, which means it's the sum of the number of protons and number of neutrons.

Look at the answer choices and find the one whose numbers add up to 298. Only C (119 protons and 179 neutrons) is correct because 119 + 179 = 298.

Hope this helps!
