Answer:

Depends, but in most cases, 2.

It's best to use as many digits as possible to keep it accurate.

Explanation:

This varies between teachers, as most schools go with 2 decimal places.

This is something that depends in your situation.

You technically want as many decimals as possible to keep it as accurate, but most people stick with 2.

I personally do 3, and commonly do 5 sometimes.

Kilauea volcano in hawaii emits 200-300 tons of sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere each day. this is an example of?

Kilauea volcano in Hawaii emits 200-300 tons of sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere each day. This is an example of

the impact of natural processes on the earth's environment.
air pollution from a natural source.
the magnitude of the chemistry associated with the environment.

Kilauea volcano in Hawaii emits noxious compounds of sulfur dioxide and other harmful pollutants as a result of a reaction with atmospheric water vapors and oxygen.

This reaction results in acid rain and volcanic smog which pollutes the air.

Over the years, the volcano has become a potential threat to health as harmful oxides are accelerating respiratory problems and acid rain destroys crops, and also harms water supplies.

If 50 ml of 0.235 M NaCl solution is diluted to 200.0 ml what is the concentration of the diluted solution

Helen [10]

This is a straightforward dilution calculation that can be done using the equation

$M_1V_1=M_2V_2$

where M₁ and M₂ are the initial and final (or undiluted and diluted) molar concentrations of the solution, respectively, and V₁ and V₂ are the initial and final (or undiluted and diluted) volumes of the solution, respectively.

Here, we have the initial concentration (M₁) and the initial (V₁) and final (V₂) volumes, and we want to find the final concentration (M₂), or the concentration of the solution after dilution. So, we can rearrange our equation to solve for M₂:

$M_2=\frac{M_1V_1}{V_2}.$

Substituting in our values, we get

$\[M_2=\frac{\left ( 50 \text{ mL} \right )\left ( 0.235 \text{ M} \right )}{\left ( 200.0 \text{ mL} \right )}= 0.05875 \text{ M}\].$

So the concentration of the diluted solution is 0.05875 M. You can round that value if necessary according to the appropriate number of sig figs. Note that we don't have to convert our volumes from mL to L since their conversion factors would cancel out anyway; what's important is the ratio of the volumes, which would be the same whether they're presented in milliliters or liters.
