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>

Select the correct use of the compound tms in nmr spectroscopy.a. it is a signal-to-noise enhancerb. it is an internal standard
SpyIntel [72]

TMS stands for Tetramethylsilane

Formula : Si(CH₃)₄

It is used as internal standard for chemical shift

In TMS all the four methyl groups are similar thus all the 12 hydrogen are chemically equivalent. They will show proton NMR at same level and which will appear as a singlet.

We have defined this singlet to be as reference set as zero.

Generally the other organic compounds show chemical shift downfield.So have positive chemical shift with respect to TMS shift.

Hypothesis: Explain the relationship between forward and reverse reactions at equilibrium and predict how changing the amount of
postnew [5]

Explanation:

forward reaction

a reaction in which reactent react to form product is known as forward reaction

reverse reaction

a reaction in which product react to form reactent is known as reverse reaction

At equilibrium stage

In a chemical equilibrium, the forward and reverse reactions occur at equal rates, and the concentrations of products and reactants remain constant. A catalyst speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction, but has no effect upon the equilibrium position for that reaction.

changing amount of reactent and product

lechatlier principle

" if you impose any change in concentration ( reactant or product) , temperature or pressure on chemical system, the system response in that way that opposes the change "
