Answer:

0.0075 or 7.5x10⁻³

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, when rounding to two significant figures a number that is less than 1, we take into account that the left-handed zeros, prior to the first nonzero digit are not significant, for 0.007462, two significant figures include the 7 and the 4; however, that 4 is rounded up to 5 since there is a 6 after it, and therefore, the correct representation would be either of the following ones:

0.0075

7.5x10⁻³

Best regards!

1. The solubility of AgNO3 at 20°C is 222.0g AgNO3/100g H2O. What mass of AgNO3 can be dissolved in 250 g of water at 20°C? Reca

Answer :

(1) The mass of silver nitrate is, 555 g

(2) The solubility of the gas will be, 0.433 g/L

<u>Solution for Part 1 :</u>

From the given data we conclude that

In 100 gram of water, the amount of silver nitrate = 222 g

In 250 gram of water, the amount of silver nitrate = $\frac{222}{100}\times 250=555g$

Therefore, the mass of silver nitrate is, 555 g

<u>Solution for Part 2 :</u>

Formula used : $S_1P_1=S_2P_2$ (at constant temperature)

where,

$S_1$ = initial solubility of methane gas = 0.026 g/L

$S_2$ = final solubility of methane gas

$P_1$ = initial pressure of methane gas = 1 atm

$P_2$ = final pressure of methane gas = 0.06 atm

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the solubility of methane gas.

$(0.026g/L)\times (1atm)=S_2\times (0.06atm)$

$S_2=0.433g/L$

Therefore, the solubility of the gas will be, 0.433 g/L

A student has a 2.123 g sample of a hydrated salt. she heats it to drive off all the water. after heating to constant mass, the

morpeh [17]

The mass of hydrated salt - 2.123 g
mass of anhydrous salt - 1.861 g
mass that has been reduced is the mass of water that has been heated and lost from the compound thereby making the salt anhydrous.
therefore mass of water lost - 2.123 - 1.861 = 0.262 g
number of moles of water lost - 0.262 g / 18 g/mol = 0.0146 mol
number of moles of salt - 1.861 g / 380.6 g/mol = 0.00490 mol
molar ratio of moles of water to moles of salt
molar ratio = 0.146 mol / 0.00490 mol = 2.98 rounded off to 3
for every 1 mol of salt there are 3 moles of water
therefore empirical formula - Cu₃(PO₄)₂.3H₂O

What volume of so2 is produced at 325 k and 1.35 atm when 15.0 grams of hcl reacts with excess k2so3?

vova2212 [387]

The volume of SO2 produced at 325k is calculated as below

calculate the moles of SO2 produced which is calculated as follows

write the reacting equation
K2SO3 +2 HCl = 2KCl +H2O+ SO2

find the moles of HCl used
=mass/molar mass = 15g/ 36.5 g/mol =0.411 moles

by use of mole ratio between HCl to SO2 which is 2:1 the moles of SO2 is therefore = 0.411 /2 =0.206 moles of SO2

use the idea gas equation to calculate the volume SO2
that is V=nRT/P
where n=0.206 moles
R(gas constant) = 0.082 L.atm/ mol.k
T=325 K
P=1.35 atm

V=(0.206 moles x 0.082 L.atm/mol.k x325 k)/1.35 atm = 4.07 L of SO2
