Explanation:

Significant figure is the measure of how accurately something can be measured. It carries meaning contributing to its measurement resolution. It is important to use proper number of significant figures to get a precise measurement. For example, if we use a meter stick then measurements like 0.874 meters, or 0.900 meters, are good because they indicate that we can measure to the nearest millimeter. Whereas a measurement like 0.8 does not tell that a meter stick can measure to the nearest millimeter.

Before tackling this problem, be sure you know how to find the antilog of a number using a scientific calculator.

<h2>Question:- </h2>

A solution has a pH of 5.4, the determination of [H+].

<h2>Given :- </h2>
  1. pH:- 5.4
  2. pH = - log[H+]

<h2>To find :- concentration of H+</h2>

<h2>Answer:- Antilog(-5.4) or 4× 10-⁶</h2>

<h2>Explanation:- </h2><h3>Formula:- pH = -log H+ </h3>

Take negative to other side

-pH = log H+

multiple Antilog on both side

(Antilog and log cancel each other )

Antilog (-pH) = [ H+ ]

New Formula :- Antilog (-pH) = [+H]

Now put the values of pH in new formula

Antilog (-5.4) = [+H]

we can write -5.4 as (-6+0.6) just to solve Antilog

Antilog ( -6+0.6 ) = [+H]

Antilog (-6) × Antilog (0.6) = [+H]

Antilog (-6)  = {10}^{ - 6} ,  \\ Antilog (0.6)  = 4

put the value in equation

{10}^{ - 6}   \times 4 = [H+] \\ 4 \times   {10}^{ - 6}  = [H+]

artcher [175]

Answer:

The <u>equilibrium constant</u> is:

              k_c=0.0030M^{-2}

Explanation:

The correct equation is:

  •   N₂(g)    +    3H₂(g)    ⇄    2NH₃(g)

Thus, with the equilibrium concentrations you can calculate the equilibrium constant, Kc.

The equation for the equilibrium constant is:

         k_c=\dfrac{[NH_3]^2}{[N_2]\cdot [H_2]^3}

Substituting:

        k_c=\dfrac{(0.105M)^2}{(1.1M)\cdot (1.50M)^3}

         k_c=0.0030M^{-2}

How many MOLECULES are in 50.0 grams of lithium phosphate?
Ray Of Light [21]
Answer: 2.60 x 10^23 molecules


50.0 grams x (1 mol/115.79 grams) = 0.431816219 moles

0.431816219 mol x (6.02 x 10^23 molecules/1 mol) = 2.599533638 x 10^23 molecules (final answer is rounded)
