What is the solution to the problem expressed to the correct number of significant figures?

Chemistry

Fed [463]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

(102 900 ÷ 12) + (170 × 1.27) = 8800

Step 1. Evaluate the expressions inside the parentheses (PEMDAS)

102 900 ÷ 12 = 8575

170 × 1.27 = 215.9

In multiplication and division problems, your answer can have no more significant figures than the number with the fewest significant figures.

Thus, the underlined digits are not significant, but we keep them in our calculator to avoid roundoff error.

Step 2. Do the addition (PEMDAS).

  8575

+    215.9

= 8790.9

Everything that you add to an insignificant digit gives an insignificant digit as an answer.

Thus, the underlined digits are not significant.

We must drop them and round up the answer to 8800.

How many moles are present in 3.4 x 1023 atoms of Na?
Andrej [43]
<h3><u>moles of H2SO4</u></h3>

Avogadro's number (6.022 × 1023) is defined as the number of atoms, molecules, or "units of anything" that are in a mole of that thing. So to find the number of moles in 3.4 x 1023 molecules of H2SO4, divide by 6.022 × 1023 molecules/mole and you get 0.5646 moles but there are only 2 sig figs in the given so we need to round to 2 sig figs. There are 0.56 moles in 3.4 x 1023 molecules of H2SO4

Note the way this works is to make sure the units are going to give us moles. To check, we do division of the units just like we were dividing two fractions:

(molecules of H2SO4) = (molecules of H2SO4)/1 and so we have 3.4 x 1023/6.022 × 1023 [(molecules of H2SO4)/1]/[(molecules of H2SO4)/(moles of H2SO4)]. Now, invert the denominator and multiply:

When a supply of hydrogen gas is held in a 4 liter container at 47°C it exerts a pressure
lana [24]

Answer:

P₂ = 800 torr

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial Volume = 4 L

Initial Temperature = 47°C (47+273= 320 K)

Initial pressure = 800 torr

Final volume = 2000 mL (2000/1000 = 2 L)

Final temperature = -113°C (-113+273 =160 K )

Final pressure = ?

Solution:

Formula:  

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂  

P₁ = Initial pressure

V₁ = Initial volume

T₁ = Initial temperature

P₂ = Final pressure

V₂ = Final volume

T₂ = Final temperature

Solution:

P₂ = P₁V₁ T₂/ T₁ V₂  

P₂ = 800 torr × 4 L × 160 K / 320 K × 2 L  

P₂ = 512000 torr .L. K / 640 k.L

P₂ = 800 torr

What is the relationship between concentration and rate of reaction?
grigory [225]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Directly proportional

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>Concentration is one of the factors that determine the rate of a reaction. Reaction rates increases with increase in the concentration of the reactants, which means they are directly proportional.</u></em>
  • An increase in the concentration of reactants produces more collisions and thus increasing the rate at which the reaction is taking place. Therefore, <u>Increasing the concentration of a reactant increases the frequency of collisions between reactants and will cause an increase in the rate of reaction.</u>
