Answer:

As hydrogen is more electronegative than boron, in BH3 the oxidation number of hydrogen should be taken as -1. (E. N. of B = 2.0 & E. N. of H = 2.1)

Suppose, oxidation number of B is x.

So, we can write, x + 3*(-1) = 0

=> x = +3

Therefore, oxidation num

How does the precision of a calculated answer compare to the precision of the measurements used to obtain it?

marusya05 [52]

This question refers to significant figures. The reason we follow significant figure rules when performing calculations in science is that a calculated answer (which is an extrapolation of a manipulation of measurements) can only be as precise as the least precise measurement recorded. This means if you record measurements to a certain precision, the calculated answer at the most can only match the recorded level of precision as to balance the level of confidence in accuracy before and after calculations.

It is desired to make 1.00 liter of 6.00 M nitric acid from concentrated 16.00 M HNO3.A) How many moles of nitric acid are in 1.

natima [27]

Answer:

A) 6.00 mol.

B) 0.375 L or 375 mL

C) 6.00 M

Explanation:

Hello,

A) In this case, from the definition of molarity, we compute the moles for the given volume and concentration:

$n=M*V=1.00L*6.00mol/L=6.00mol$
