Can someone tell me how to identify the number of significant figures?

Chemistry
1 answer:

8 0

Answer:

Non-zero digits are always significant.

Any zeros between two significant digits are significant.

A final zero or trailing zeros in the decimal portion ONLY are significant. If a number ends in zeros to the right of the decimal point, those zeros are significant.

Explanation:

1.138 has 4 significant figures, which are 1, 1, 3 and 8. The numbers after the decimal point are decimals and are significant figures.

Why is a chemical equilibrium described as dynamic?
Katen [24]
Because when equilibrium is reached, the reaction is still occurring in both directions, it's just that rate(forward) =rate(reverse) so there is no net change in the concentrations of the reactants or products.

If a compound has a molar más of 180g/mol and it’s empirical formula is CH^2O, what is it’s molecular formula?
lesya [120]

C: 12.0107 g/mol ≅ 12.00 g/mol

H: 1.00784 g/mol ≅ 1.008 g/mol

O: 15.999 g/mol ≅ 16.00 g/mol

n(molar mass of CH2O)= 180

n.30=180

n=6

molecular formula: c6h12o6 glucose

How many moles of S are in 35.4 g of (C3H5)2S?
alexandr402 [8]
<span>0.310 moles First, look up the atomic weights of the elements involved. Atomic weight carbon = 12.0107 Atomic weight hydrogen = 1.00794 Atomic weight sulfur = 32.065 Molar mass (C3H5)2S = 6 * 12.0107 + 10 * 1.00794 + 32.065 = 114.2086 g/mol Moles (C3H5)2S = 35.4 g / 114.2086 g/mol = 0.309959145 mol Since there's just one sulfur atom per (C3H5)2S molecule, the number of moles of sulfur will match the number of moles of (C3H5)2S which is 0.310 when rounded to 3 significant digits.</span>

How are ionic bonds formed
Semenov [28]
Ionic bonds are formed when a cation and an anion transfer electrons. The anion gains electrons from the cation to finish its shell, and is usually a nonmetal or a metalloid. A cation gives the anion its electrons to get rid of its partial shell. Cations are metals.
