How many moles of hydrogen fluoride are required to react completely with 75.0 g of tin?
Step 1: List the known quantities and plan the problem.
Known
given: 75.0 g Sn
molar mass of Sn = 118.69 g/mol
1 mol Sn = 2 mol HF (mole ratio)
Unknown
mol HF
Use the molar mass of Sn to convert the grams of Sn to moles. Then use the mole ratio to convert from mol Sn to mol HF. This will be done in a single two-step calculation.
g Sn → mol Sn → mol HF
Step 2: Solve.

Step 3: Think about your result.
The mass of tin is less than one mole, but the 1:2 ratio means that more than one mole of HF is required for the reaction. The answer has three significant figures because the given mass has three significant figures.
Answer:
There was an improvement in accuracy. There was no change in precision.
Explanation:
<em>The average mass after recalibration is closer to the mass of the standard, </em>so the recalibration improved the accuracy<em> </em>(the measurement is closer to an accepted 'true' value).
The standard deviation did not change, so the precision (or how disperse the measurements are) was not affected.
Answer:
water is H2O having different structure than alcohol R-OH which means they have different properties too.
Explanation:
In water one oxygen atom is covalently bound with two hydrogen atoms while alcohol is an organic compound having Oh group attached to the carbon chain.
Other than liquid water can occur in solid form that is ice and in gaseous form that is vapors too while alcohol only present in liquid form.
heat of evaporation of alcohol is lower than water means water need more heat to evaporate than alcohol that is why we can say alcohol having more cooling effect than water.
Answer: 4.5 x 10e-7
Explanation: 450 x 1e+9 = correct answer
Multiply amount of nanometers by 1e+9 to get the approximate result in meters.
