948 or 9.48 x 10^2
There are two sets of rules for significant figures
• One set for addition and subtraction
• Another set for multiplication and division
You used the set for multiplication and division.
This problem involves addition and subtraction, and the rule is
The number of places after the decimal point in the answer must be <em>no greater than the number of decimal places in every term</em> in the sum.
Thus, we have
78.9
+890.43
-21.
= 948.33
The "21" term has the fewest digits after the decimal point (none), so the answer must have no digits after the decimal point.
To the correct answer is 948 = 9.48 x 10^2. It has three significant figures.
Answer:
16 °C
Explanation:
Step 1: Given data
- Provided heat (Q): 811.68 J
- Mass of the metal (m): 95 g
- Specific heat capacity of the metal (c): 0.534 J/g.°C
Step 2: Calculate the temperature change (ΔT) experienced by the metal
We will use the following expression.
Q = c × m × ΔT
ΔT = Q/c × m
ΔT = 811.68 J/(0.534 J/g.°C) × 95 g = 16 °C
moles of CO gas : 1.545
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Standard conditions for temperature and pressure are used as a reference in certain calculations or conditions
There are 2 conditions that are usually used as a reference : STP and RTP
Assuming the STP state :
Conditions at T 0 ° C and P 1 atm are stated by STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure). At STP, Vm is 22.4 liters / mol.
Then for 34.6 L of CO gas :
