Answer :  The answer will be, 5.2 g

Explanation :

Significant figures : The figures in a number which express the value -the magnitude of a quantity to a specific degree of accuracy is known as significant digits.

The rule apply for the addition and subtraction is :

The least precise number present after the decimal point determines the number of significant figures in the answer.

As we are given that the sum of 2.7 g and 2.47 g.

2.7g+2.47g

\Rightarrow 5.17g

In the given expression, 2.7 has 2 significant figures and 2.47 has 2 significant figures. From this we conclude that least precise number present after the decimal point is 1.

Thus, the answer will be \Rightarrow 5.2g

In order to get the sum of 2.7 and 2.47, we will add both numbers. So, 2.7 plus 2.47 would be 5.17. And the correct number of significant digits in this number is still the same, 5.17, so we have three significant numbers. Why? There are three rules in identifying the significant figures: 1. Non zeros are always significant (which this applies in our sum above). 2. Any zeros in between significant numbers are always significant. 3. <span> The final zero or zeros in the decimal portion only are significant.</span>

What are the names of the following three compounds (see attached)
balu736 [363]

Answer:

1. 4-ethyl-1-heptene

2. 6-ethyl-2-octene

3. 1-butyne

Explanation:

The compounds are named according to IUPAC rules.

Compound 1:

  • Identify the longest carbon chain. This chain is called the parent chain.
  • Identify all of the substituents (groups appending from the parent chain).
  • The parent chain is numbered so that the multiple bonds have the lowest numbers (double has the priority over alkyl substituents).
  • The longest chain contains 7 carbon atoms, so taken the name hept.
  • The double bond between C1 and C2, so take no. 1 and add the suffix ene to hept "1-heptene".
  • The ethyl group is the alkyl substituent on position 4.
  • So the name is 4-ethyl-1-heptene.

Compound 2:

  • Identify the longest carbon chain. This chain is called the parent chain.
  • Identify all of the substituents (groups appending from the parent chain).
  • The parent chain is numbered so that the multiple bonds have the lowest numbers (double has the priority over alkyl substituents).
  • The longest chain contains 8 carbon atoms, so taken the name oct.
  • The double bond between C2 and C3, so take no. 2 and add the suffix ene to oct "2-octene".
  • The ethyl group is the alkyl substituent on position 6.
  • So the name is 6-ethyl-2-octene.

Compound 3:

  • Identify the longest carbon chain. This chain is called the parent chain.
  • Identify all of the substituents (groups appending from the parent chain), there is no substituents.
  • The parent chain is numbered so that the multiple bonds have the lowest numbers (Triple bond here take the lowest number).
  • The longest chain contains 4 carbon atoms, so taken the name but.
  • The triple bond between C1 and C2, so take no. 1 and add the suffix yne to but "1-butyne".
  • So the name is 1-butyne.

In the nuclear transmutation, 168O (?, α)137N, what is the bombarding particle? In the nuclear transmutation, O (?, )N, what is
xeze [42]

Answer:

The bombarding particle is a Proton

Explanation:

A Nuclear transmutation reaction occurs when radioactive element decay, usually converting them from one element/isotope into another element. Transmutation is the process which causes decay, generally, alpha or beta.

¹⁶₈O(P,alpha) ¹³₇N, can be written as

¹⁶₈O + x goes to ¹³₇N + ⁴₂He

Where x can be anything, balancing the equation in order to give us the correct amount of proton number and nucleus number

16 + x = 13 + 4

x = 17 – 16 = 1, Hence we can say that x = ¹₁P

<u>¹⁶₈O + ¹₁P goes to ¹³₇N + ⁴₂He</u>

Here we can clearly see the bombarding particle is ¹₁P (proton). The ejected particle being ⁴₂He which is also known as an alpha particle
