5 0

Answer:

a) significant figures b) decimal places

Multiplying/dividing ex: 1.33 * 4.4932 = 5.98 because the first component only has three sig figs while the second has five.

Adding/subtracting ex: 12.13 + 53.5763 = 65.71 we ignore the whole numbers and focus only on the decimal places. The first component only has two while the second has four. Hope this helps!

Answer:

0.257 L

Explanation:

The values missing in the question has been assumed with common sense so that the concept could be applied

Initial volume of the AICI3 solution $=23.1 \mathrm{mL}$

Initial Molarity of the solution $=833 \mathrm{mM}$

Final molarity of the solution $=75.0 \mathrm{mM}$

Final volume of the solution $=?$

From Law of Dilution, $M_{f} V_{f}=M_{i} V_{i}$

$\Rightarrow V_{f}=\frac{M_{i} V_{i}}{M_{f}}=\frac{833 \mathrm{mM} \times 23.1 \mathrm{mL}}{75.0 \mathrm{mM}}=256.564 \mathrm{mL}=0.256564 \mathrm{L}=0.257 L$

Final Volume of the solution $=0.257$

You make an experiment to determine the percent mass of carbon in sugar. You find out that there is 46.63g of carbon in 75.00g o

Aleksandr [31]

Taking into account the definition of percentage composition, the percent composition of carbon in this sample is 62.17%.

<h3>Percentage composition</h3>

The Percentage Composition is a measure of the amount of mass that an element occupies in a compound and indicates the percentage by mass of each element that is part of a compound.

Then, the percentage by mass expresses the concentration and indicates the amount of mass of solute present in 100 grams of solution.

In other words, the percentage by mass of a component of the solution is defined as the ratio of the mass of the solute to the mass of the solution, expressed as a percentage.

The percentage by mass is calculated as the mass of the solute divided by the mass of the solution, the result of which is multiplied by 100 to give a percentage. This is:

$percentageby mass= \frac{mass of solute}{mass of solution}x100$
