What is the sum of 2.7 g and 2.47g expressed in the correct number of significant digits
2 answers:
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.
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

The decreasing order of wavelengths of the photons emitted or absorbed by the H atom is : b → c → a → d
Rydberg's formula :
,
where λ is the wavelength of the photon emitted or absorbed from an H atom electron transition from to
and
= 109677 is the Rydberg Constant. Here
and
represents the transitions.
(a) =2 to
= infinity
= 109677/4 [since 1/infinity = 0] Therefore,
= 4 / 109677 = 0.00003647 m
(b) =4 to
= 20
= 6580.62
Therefore, = 1 / 6580.62 = 0.000152 m
(c) =3 to
= 10
= 11089.56
Therefore, = 1 / 11089.56 = 0.00009 m
(d) =2 to
= 1
= - 82257.75
Therefore, = 1 /82257.75 = - 0.0000121 m
[Even though there is a negative sign, the magnitude is only considered because the sign denotes that energy is emitted.]
So the decreasing order of wavelength of the photon absorbed or emitted is b → c → a → d.
