Answer : The correct answer is 630.

Explanation :

The following rules are used to round off a number to the required number of significant figures:

(1) If the rightmost digit to be removed is more than 5, the preceding number is increased by one.

(2) If the rightmost digit to be removed is less than 5, the preceding number is not changed.

(3) If the rightmost digit to be removed is 5, then the preceding number is not changed if it is an even number but it is increased by one if it is an odd number.

As we are given, 634

In the given number, there are 3 significant figures. Now we have to convert it into 2 significant figures.

According to the rules, round off the given measurement in 2 significant figures as 630 because last number i.e 4 is less than number 5 so, last digit become 0.

Therefore, the correct answer is 630.

Given the following information, what is the concentration of H2O(g) at equilibrium? [H2S](eq) = 0.671 M [O2](eq) = 0.587 M Kc =

MAVERICK [17]

Answer: The equilibrium concentration of water is 0.597 M

Explanation:

Equilibrium constant in terms of concentration is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each raised to the power their stoichiometric ratios. It is expressed as $K_{c}$

For a general chemical reaction:

$aA+bB\rightleftharpoons cC+dD$

The expression for $K_{eq}$ is written as:

$K_{c}=\frac{[C]^c[D]^d}{[A]^a[B]^b}$

The concentration of pure solids and pure liquids are taken as 1 in the expression.

For the given chemical reaction:

$2H_2S(g)+O_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2S(s)+2H_2O(g)$

The expression of $K_c$ for above equation is:

$K_c=\frac{[H_2O]^2}{[H_2S]^2\times [O_2]}$

We are given:

$[H_2S]_{eq}=0.671M$

$[O_2]_{eq}=0.587M$

$K_c=1.35$

Putting values in above expression, we get:

$1.35=\frac{[H_2O]^2}{(0.671)^2\times 0.587}$

$[H_2O]=\sqrt{(1.35\times 0.671\times 0.671\times 0.587)}=0.597M$

Hence, the equilibrium concentration of water is 0.597 M

Balance the equation for the reaction in which sodium oxide reacts with water to form sodium hydroxide.

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

$➢ \: Balance \: the \: equation \: for \: the \: reaction \\ in \: which \: sodium \: oxide \: reacts \\ with \: water \: to \: form \: sodium \: hydroxide.$

⇒ We have Na2O + H2O --> NaOH. We have 2 sodiums and 2 oxygens and 2 hydrogens on the left side, but only one of each on the right side.

Sodium Oxide + Water → Sodium Hydroxide

⇒ Na2O + H2O → 2NaOH .

Sodium oxide is used in ceramics and glasses. Sodium oxide reacts exothermically with cold water to produce sodium hydroxide solution.

Describe what half-life is. answer in a paragraph please.

dangina [55]

Half-life is defined as the quantity to reduce to half of its initial value.

Explanation:

The term half-life is generally used in nuclear physics which describes how long a stable atom can survive a radioactive decay or how quickly an unstable stable atom can undergo radioactive decay. Half-life is a constant and does not have any units.

The formula to calculate half-life:

N(t) = $\bold{N_{0} e^{-\lambda t}}$

Here N(t) is the quantity which is “not decayed”.

$N_0$ is the “initial quantity” of the substance.

λ is the “decay constant”
