Answer & Explanation:

The limiting significant figure in a calculation is our smallest figure. 1 g is one figure by using the significant figure rules. In the same manner we don't count zeros unless there is a non-zero number in front of it so .0001 g is still 1 figure.

So no we only know the unknown to one significant figure.

Equations can be balanced by using the half-reaction method. Which step should be completed immediately after finding the oxidat
Dovator [93]
After finding the oxidation states of atoms, you identify the half reactions (option c).

The half reactions are given by the change of the oxidation states of the atoms.

For example if Cu is in the left side with oxidation state 0 and in the other side with oxidation state 2+, then there you have a half reaction (oxidation reaction). And if you have O with oxidation state 0 in the left side  and with oxidation state 2- in the right side, there you have other half reaction (reducing reaction).

Yes. Compounds can have different properties than the elements that go into them.

EXAMPLE: water is a polar liquid, while pure hydrogen and pure oxygen are both nonpolar gasses.
