3 0

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.

Nonmetallic elements form ions by _____ valence electrons to complete their outer shell.
Brums [2.3K]

<u>Answer:</u> Non-metals form ions when they gain electrons.

<u>Explanation:</u>

An ion is formed when an atom looses or gains electron.

  • When an atom looses electrons, it will form a positive ion known as cation.
  • When an atom gains electrons, it will form a negative ion known as anion.

Metals are the elements which have a tendency to loose electrons and thus they form cations. <u>Example:</u> Sodium will loose 1 electron to form Na^+ ion.

Non-metals are the elements which have a tendency to gain electrons and thus they form anions. <u>Example:</u> Fluorine will gain 1 electron to form F^- ion.

Hence, non-metals form ions when they gain electrons.

A solution has a pOH of 8.7 so what is the pH of the solution? Is the solution acidic, basic, or neutral?
RSB [31]
PH + pOH = 14

pH = 14 - pOH

pH = 14 - 8.7

pH = 5,3

This solution is <u>acidic</u>.

If pH<7 - acidic
If pH=7 - neutral
If pH>7 - basic

How many grams of CO are needed to react with an excess of Fe 2 O 3 to produce 209.7 g Fe?
gavmur [86]

Answer:

Mass = 157.5 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of CO needed  = ?

Mass of Fe formed = 209.7 g

Solution:

Chemical equation:

3CO + F₂O₃   →       2Fe + 3CO₂

Number of moles of Fe:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 209.7 g/ 55.85 g/mol

Number of moles = 3.75 mol

Now we will compare the moles of iron and carbon monoxide.

                               Fe            :              CO

                                 2            :              3

                                3.75         ;             3/2×3.75 = 5.625 mol

Mass of CO:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 5.625 mol × 28 g/mol

Mass = 157.5 g
