<span>Three significant figures would be 87.1 m In scientific notation it would be 8.71 x 10^1 m Significant figures tells you how many total digits to hold in the number, so in this case it is three, so we keep three total digits, but we round up the tenths position because in the hundredths is 7. In order to write in scientific notation, the mantissa (or significand) must be between 1 and 10. The magnitude is then denoted by a power, the power is calculated by how many times the decimal is "moved" if it is to the left to get the mantissa, then it is a positive number, if it is moved to the right, then it is a number smaller than 1.</span>

A scientist measures the speed of sound in a monatomic gas to be 449 m/s at 20∘C. What is the molar mass of this gas?
Ivan

Answer:

The molar mass of the gas is 36.25 g/mol.

Explanation:

  • To solve this problem, we can use the mathematical relation:

ν = \sqrt{3RT/M}

Where, ν is the speed of light in a gas <em>(ν = 449 m/s)</em>,

R is the universal gas constant <em>(R = 8.314 J/mol.K)</em>,

T is the temperature of the gas in Kelvin <em>(T = 20 °C + 273 = 293 K)</em>,

M is the molar mass of the gas in <em>(Kg/mol)</em>.

ν = \sqrt{3RT/M}

(449 m/s) = √ (3(8.314 J/mol.K) (293 K) / M,

<em>by squaring the two sides:</em>

(449 m/s)² = (3 (8.314 J/mol.K) (293 K)) / M,

∴ M = (3 (8.314 J/mol.K) (293 K) / (449 m/s)² = 7308.006 / 201601 = 0.03625 Kg/mol.

<em>∴ The molar mass of the gas is 36.25 g/mol.</em>

How many total atoms are in 0.290 g of P2O5?
Sliva [168]

There are 8.61 × 10²⁰ atoms in 0.290 g P₂O₅.

Step 1. Convert <em>grams of P₂O₅ to moles of P₂O₅</em>.

\text{Moles of P}_{2}\text{O}_{5} = \text{0.290 g } \text{P}_{2}\text{O}_{5} \times \frac{\text{1 mol }\text{P}_{2}\text{O}_{5}}{\text{141.94 g }\text{P}_{2}\text{O}_{5}} = \text{0.002 043 mol } \text{P}_{2}\text{O}_{5} \\

Step 2. Convert <em>moles of P₂O₅ to molecules of P₂O₅</em>.

\text{Molecules of } \text{P}_{2}\text{O}_{5} = \text{0.002 043 mol } \text{P}_{2}\text{O}_{5} \times \frac{6.022 \times 10^{23}\text{ molecules }\text{P}_{2}\text{O}_{5}}{\text{1 mol } \text{P}_{2}\text{O}_{5}}\\

= 1.23 \times10^{21}\text{ molecules } \text{P}_{2}\text{O}_{5}\\

Step 3. Convert <em>molecules of P₂O₅ to atoms</em>.

There are seven atoms in 1 mol P₂O₅.

∴ \text{Total atoms} = 1.23\times 10^{21 }\text{ molecules }\text{P}_{2}\text{O}_{5} \times\frac{\text{7 atoms}}{\text{1 molecule }\text{P}_{2}\text{O}_{5}} = 8.61 \times 10^{21}\text{ atoms}\\
