Answer:

4.427 × 10⁵

Explanation:

In mathematics, rounding up a number is a way to get a more simpler figure but not too distant from the original number. Rounding up a whole number like this (442722) to significant figures means having only four non-zero digits in the figure i.e. 442722 ~ 442700.

This means that 442722 has been rounded up to 4s.f. Hence, to use scientific notations to represent our answer, we count the number of decimal places from right to left i.e.

442700 = 5 decimal places if the point is between 4 and 4 i.e. 4.427

Therefore, the figure 442700 can be written as 4.427 × 10⁵ using scientific notation.

Which solution will form a precipitate when mixed with a solution of aqueous na2co3? which solution will form a precipitate when

trapecia [35]

Answer:

$CuCl_{2}(aq.)$ will form a precipitate of insoluble $CuCO_{3}$ when aqueous $Na_{2}CO_{3}$ is added.

Explanation:

According to solubility rule-

all carbonates are insoluble except group IA compounds and $NH_{4}^{+}$

all salts of sodium are soluble

When $Na_{2}CO_{3}$ is added to given solutions, a double displacement reaction takes place in each solution to form a sodium salt and a carbonate salt.

So, in accordance with solubility rule, addition of $Na_{2}CO_{3}$ into $CuCl_{2}(aq.)$ will result precipitation of insoluble $CuCO_{3}$

Reaction: $Na_{2}CO_{3}(aq.)+CuCl_{2}(aq.)\rightarrow 2NaCl(aq.)+CuCO_{3}(aq.)$

The temperature in the stratosphere is −24°c. calculate the root-mean-square speeds of n2, o2, and o3 molecules in this region.

Sholpan [36]

Use Root mean square speed formula: vrms = Sqrt (3RT/M) T - temperature in K = 273K - 21CÎż = 252K R- molar gas constant = 8.31J/Kmol M - molar mass of a molecule MN2 = 14x2 = 28 g/mol MO2 = 16 x 2 = 32 g/mol MO3 = 16 x 3 = 48 g/mol Having all info now, you can calculate root mean square speed,vrms , for every molecule by using the aboveequasion and only changing M value.

What is diffusion? Class 9th Chemistry

tester [92]

Diffusion is the movement of a substance from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration . Diffusion happens in liquids and gases because their particles move randomly from place to place . Diffusion is an important process for living things ; it is how substances move in and out of cells .
