Answer:

The importance of significant figures

As stated before, it is important within the science fields that you are not more precise or accurate than the least accurate or precise number. In science, it is generally agreed upon that the last number digit in any figure is filled with uncertainty.

What do blizzards consist of? (Select all that apply)

Maru [420]

Answer:

Heavy Snowfall

High Winds

Extremely Low Temperatures

Reasoning:

Lots of snow, kinda self explanatory

high winds are needed to carry the snow that fast

its has to be below freezing for snow to even form

Use the atomic mass of indium to calculate the relative abundance of indium-113.

ASHA 777 [7]

The relative abundance of indium-113 is 4%.

The isotopes are species of the same element having the same atomic number but a different mass number.

The elements occurring in nature exist as multiple isotopes.

When we take into account the existence of these isotopes and their relative abundance (percent), the average atomic mass of that element can be computed, which is given by the following formula,

Average atomic Mass= (%age of isotope 1) x (Mass of isotope 1) + (%age of isotope 2) x (Mass of isotope 2)/100

Indium exists in the form of Indium-113 and Indium-115.

The mass of Indium-113 is 112.90 u.

The mass of Indium-115 is 114.90 u.

The average atomic mass of Indium is 114.82 u.

Let the %age of isotope 1(Indium-113) be X.

Then, the %age of isotope 2(Indium-115) would be 100-X.

Applying the values in the formula,

Average atomic mass = 112.90X+114.90(100-X)

114.82 = 112.90X+114.90(100-X)

On solving the above equation, the value of X comes out to be 4%.

Thus, the relative abundance/%age abundance of Indium-113 is 4%.

The airbags that protect people in car crashes are inflated by the extremely rapid decomposition of sodium azide, which produces

Oxana [17]

Answer:

1. NaN₃(s) → Na(s) + 1.5 N₂(g)

2. 79.3g

Explanation:

<em>1. Write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the decomposition of solid sodium azide (NaN₃) into solid sodium and gaseous dinitrogen.</em>

NaN₃(s) → Na(s) + 1.5 N₂(g)

<em>2. Suppose 43.0L of dinitrogen gas are produced by this reaction, at a temperature of 13.0°C and pressure of exactly 1atm. Calculate the mass of sodium azide that must have reacted. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.</em>

First, we have to calculate the moles of N₂ from the ideal gas equation.

$P.V=n.R.T\\n=\frac{P.V}{R.T} =\frac{1atm.(43.0L)}{(0.08206atm.L/mol.K).286.2K} =1.83mol$

The moles of NaN₃ are:

$1.83molN_{2}.\frac{1molNaN_{3}}{1.5molN_{2}} =1.22molNaN_{3}$

The molar mass of NaN₃ is 65.01 g/mol. The mass of NaN₃ is:

$1.22mol.\frac{65.01g}{mol} =79.3g$
