Answer:
There are 3 sig figs
Explanation:
Sig figs are the amount of figures counting from the left side of the number until you reach the first zero. Starting from the left, I counted one, three, and six. That's 3 numbers, and therefore, that's how we got our answer. The only exception is when there is a decimal. Then all the numbers before the decimal, despite whether or not they're zeros, are sig figs.
Answer:
1.) AgNO₃
2.) 0.563 moles AgBr
Explanation:
The limiting reagent is the reagent that is used up completely during a reaction. It can be identified by calculating which reactant produces the smallest amount of product. This can be done by determining the number of moles of each reagent (via molarity conversion). and then converting it to moles of the product (via mole-to-mole ratio).
AgNO₃ (aq) + KBr (aq) ---> AgBr (s) + KNO₃ (aq)
Molarity (M) = moles / liters
100 mL = 1 L
AgNO₃
45.0 mL / 100 = 45.0 L
1.25 M = ? moles / 0.450 L
? moles = 0.563 moles
KBr
75.0 mL / 100 = 0.750 L
0.800 M = ? moles / 0.750 L
? moles = 0.600 moles
In this case, there is no need to use the mole-to-mole ratio because all of the coefficients are one in the reaction (the amount of the limiting reagent used is the same amount of product produced). Since AgNO₃ produces the smaller amount of product, it is the limiting reagent.
Answer:
b) Phosphorus acid
Explanation:
To distinguish the type of acid of phosphorus with the oxidation state of +3, we need to be familiar with the chemical formula of each of the compounds:
Orthophosphoric acid H₃PO₄
Phosphorus acid H₃PO₃
Metaphosphoric acid HPO₃
Phyrophosphoric acid H₄P₂O₇
Now that we know the formula of the given compounds, the algebraic sum of all the oxidation numbers of all atoms in a neutral compound is zero:
Only phosphorus acid yielded an oxidation state of +3 for phosphorus in the compound.
H₃PO₃:
we know the oxidation state of H = +1
O = -2
The oxidation state of P is unknown. We can express this as an equation:
3(+1) + P + 3(-2) = 0
3 + P -6 = 0
P-3 = 0
P = +3
