Answer:

128.4 m

Explanation:

3.604m + 104.29m + 3.1m + 17.41m

Add all the values

= 128.404 m

The significant figure rule for addition is for the sum to have the same number of decimal places as the value with the least number of decimal places. In the addition sentence 3.604m + 104.29m + 3.1m + 17.41m, the value with the least number of decimal places is 3.1, which has 1 decimal place. Therefore, we round our sum so that it also has 1 decimal place.

128.404 m

= 128.4 m

I hope this helps!

C2H6O2 is infinitely miscible(soluble) in water. Ethylene glycol is a nonelectrolyte that is used as antifreeze. What is the low

Answer:

The lowest possible melting point for engine coolant is -12.8°C

Explanation:

This is about colligative property about freezing point depression.

We think the data 30% as a %m/m. It means that 30 g of ethylene glycol are contained in 100 g of solution. Therefore, we have 70 g of solvent.

Formula for freezing point depression is:

ΔT = Kf . m . i

Where ΔT = Freezing T° of pure solvent - Freezing T° of solution.

Freezing T° of solvent = 0° (We talk about water)

Let's determine m (molality, moles of solute in 1kg of solvent)

70 g = 0.070 kg

30 g . 1 mol / 62.07 g = 0.483 moles

0.483 mol / 0.070 kg = 6.90 m

We replace data in formula:

0° - Freezing T° of solution = 1.86 °C/m . 6.90m . 1

As ethylene glycol is a nonelectrolyte, i = 1

Freezing T° of solution = - 12.8°C

Determine the percent composition by mass of oxygen in the compound C6H1206

inysia [295]

Answer

% of oxygen(O) in glucose = 96/ 180 × 100 = 53.33

Explanation:

so the mass of oxygen in 1 mole of glucose = 6 × 16.00 g = 96.00 g. % oxygen = 96.00 × 100 % = 53.3 % by mass.

One of the more important chemical reactions of the alkanes is?

Anna [14]

Combustion:

The saturated hydrocarbons are relatively inert except at high temperatures. Combustion is one of the more important chemical reactions of the alkanes.

Alkanes have the general formula of CnH2n+2. For example, an alkane with 6 carbon atoms (n = 6) would have a formula of C6H2·6+2 or C6H14. Structurally C6H14 would be shown as:

Determine the mass of 5.20 moles of c6h12

Gwar [14]

Mass is equal to moles x molar mass, and the molar mass of C6H12 is 84, therefore the mass is 436.8 g, but 437 rounded to correct significant figures

Why do all living things need nitrogen?

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Option A. to build new cells.

Explanation:

All living things need nitrogen for the production of new cell because nitrogen is the main structural component of the cell. Protein is made up of amino acid and amino acid made of nitrogen. Without nitrogen atom, enzymes formation is impossible and we know that enzymes are necessary to speed up the chemical process. So nitrogen is very important for living organisms.
