Answer : The correct answer is 109.
Explanation :
Significant figure : It is defined as the each digits of a number have meaning or contribute to the value of the number.
The addition of given digits is,
43.2 + 50.0 + 16.0 = 109.2
As per the question, the given digits has 3 significant figures. But the answer after addition is 109.2 has 4 significant figures.
The addition rule of significant rule is the least precise number of significant figure in any number of the problem determines the number of significant figures in the answer.
Therefore, from the addition rule, the correct answer is 109.
Answer:
The pH of the solution is 1.34, being an acidic pH.
Explanation:
pH is a measure of acidity or alkalinity that indicates the amount of hydrogen ions present in a solution or substance.
The acronym pH stands for hydrogen potential.
The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14. Values less than 7 indicate the acidity range and those greater than 7 indicate alkalinity or basicity. Value 7 is considered neutral. Mathematically, pH is the negative logarithm of the molar concentration of hydrogen or proton ions (H⁺) or hydronium ions (H₃O⁺).
pH= - log [H⁺] = - log [H₃O⁺]
In this case, [H⁺]= 4.6*10⁻² M. Replacing:
pH= - log 4.6*10⁻²
Solving:
pH= 1.34

The density of the sample is:
Density = mass / volume
Density = 9.85 / 0.675
Density = 14.6 g/cm³
If the sample has 95% gold, and 5% silver, its density should be:
0.95 x 19.3 + 0.05 x 10.5
Theoretical density = 18.9 g/cm³
The difference in theoretical and actual densities is very large, making it likely that the jeweler was not telling the truth.
