There are non-mercury thermometers with temperature and accuracy rangers equal to most mercury thermometers.
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.
The isotope that is more abundant, given the data is isotope Li7
<h3>Assumption</h3>
- Let Li6 be isotope A
- Let Li7 be isotope B
<h3>How to determine whiche isotope is more abundant</h3>
- Molar mass of isotope A (Li6) = 6.02 u
- Molar mass of isotope B (Li7) = 7.02 u
- Atomic mass of lithium = 6.94 u
- Abundance of A = A%
- Abundance of B = (100 - A)%
Atomic mass = [(mass of A × A%) / 100] + [(mass of B × B%) / 100]
6.94 = [(6.02 × A%) / 100] + [(7.02 × (100 - A)) / 100]
6.94 = [6.02A% / 100] + [702 - 7.02A% / 100]
6.94 = [6.02A% + 702 - 7.02A%] / 100
Cross multiply
6.02A% + 702 - 7.02A% = 6.94 × 100
6.02A% + 702 - 7.02A% = 694
Collect like terms
6.02A% - 7.02A% = 694 - 702
-A% = -8
A% = 8%
Thus,
Abundance of B = (100 - A)%
Abundance of B = (100 - 8)%
Abundance of B = 92%
SUMMARY
- Abundance of A (Li6) = 8%
- Abundance of B (Li7) = 92%
From the above, isotope Li7 is more abundant.
