Define significant figure. Discuss the importance of using the proper number of significant figures in measurements and calculat

ions.
Chemistry
1 answer:
anastassius [24]3 years ago
7 0

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.

5Br−+BrO3−+6H+→3Br2+3H2O
sashaice [31]

Explanation :

The balanced chemical reaction is,

5Br^-+BrO_3^-+6H^+\rightarrow 3Br_2+3H_2O

The expression for the rates of consumption of the reactants are:

The rate of consumption of Br^- = -\frac{1}{5}\frac{d[Br^-]}{dt}

The rate of consumption of BrO_3^- = -\frac{d[BrO_3^-]}{dt}

The rate of consumption of H^+ = \frac{1}{6}\frac{d[H^+]}{dt}

The expression for the rates of formation of the products are:

The rate of consumption of Br_2 = +\frac{1}{3}\frac{d[Br_2]}{dt}

The rate of consumption of H_2O = +\frac{1}{3}\frac{d[H_2O]}{dt}

What types of organisms are most likely to become extinct (characteristics)?
Paladinen [302]
Many rare and/or endemic species exhibit one or more of the following attributes which make them especially prone to extinction: (1) narrow (and single) geographical range, (2) only one or a few populations, (3) small population size and little genetic variability, (4) over-exploitation by people

Inside stars in space, the nuclei of hydrogen atoms fuse together to form helium atoms. This represents which form of energy?
mixas84 [53]

Explanation:

When two small nuclei combine together to form a large nuclei then it is known as nuclear fusion.

When nuclei of two hydrogen atoms fuse together then it results in the formation of a helium atom along with the release of lot of energy. This energy is nuclear energy.

This nuclear reaction is as follows.

      ^{2}_{1}H + ^{3}_{1}H \rightarrow ^{4}_{2}He + ^{1}_{0}n + Energy

Thus, we can conclude that nuclear fusion represents nuclear energy.
