Answer:

  • <u>Two signficant figures.</u>

Explanation:

You need to tell how many significant figures there are in the mass of water, which is calculated as the difference of two measures: 30.625 - 24.8.

You must round the mass of water to the least number of places in the decimal portion found in the two numbers that participate in the subtraction.

The least number of places in the decimal part corresponds to the measure 24.8 g and it is 1 decimal.

So, your answer must be rounded to 1 decimal:

  • Subtraction: 30.625 g - 24.8 g = 5.825 g
  • Round to 1 decimal: 5.8 g

Some rules that you must follow to determine how many significant figures there are in a measure are:

  •  Every non-zero digits in number are always significant.
  •   Also every zero between two significant digits are significant.
  •  Zeros in between the decimal point  and the first a non-zero decimal digit are not significant.
  • In a whole number final zeros cannot be taken as significant (e.g. it is ambiguos the number of significant digits in measures as 3,300).
  • Trailing zeros to the right of a decimal point are significant.

So, in the 5.8 you apply the first rule: non-zero digits are always significant. So, the two digits in 5.8 are significant.

Elan Coil [88]
The chemical equation given is:

<span>2x(g) ⇄ y(g)+z(s)</span>

Answer: the higher the amount of x(g) the more the forward reacton will occur and the higher the amounts of  products y(g) and z(s) will be obtained at equilibrium.

Justification:

As Le Chatellier's priciple states, any change in a system in equilibrium will be compensated to restablish the equilibrium.

The higher the amount, and so the concentration, of X(g), the more the forward reaction will proceed to deal witht he high concentration of X(g), leading to an increase on the concentration of the products y(g) and z (s).

30cm^3 of a dilute solution of Ca(OH)2 required 11 cm^3 of 0.06 mol/dm^. Hcl for complete neutralization. Calculate the concentr
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer: Thus concentration of Ca(OH)_2 in mol/dm^3  is 0.011 and in g/dm^3 is 0.814

Explanation:

To calculate the concentration of Ca(OH)_2, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2

where,

n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1 are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is HCl

n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2 are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is Ca(OH)_2

We are given:

n_1=1\\M_1=0.06mol/dm^3\\V_1=11cm^3=0.011dm^3\\n_2=2\\M_2=?\\V_2=30cm^3=0.030dm^3         1cm^3=0.001dm^3

Putting values in above equation, we get:

1\times 0.06mol/dm^3\times 0.011dm^3=2\times M_2\times 0.030dm^3\\\\M_2=0.011mol/dm^3

The concentration in g/dm^3 is 0.011mol/dm^3\times 74g/mol=0.814g/dm^3

Thus concentration of Ca(OH)_2 is 0.011mol/dm^3 and 0.814g/dm^3

It is a trial aimed to reduce bias during an experiment. An example would be a sugar pill, something that has no real effect so that the results of the true trial can accurately be compared. Its like a control group.
