1. The measurement turned out to be so expensive since the student did not rely on the significant figures to calculate the edge of the cube and approximate it to the next value (2.1 cm possibly) that would allow a simpler construction and therefore its cost was much lower .

2. The student had to take all the significant figures in his calculations, with which he would have:

Volume = \frac{mass}{density}

Volume = \frac{80g}{8.67g/mL}

Volume = 9.2272203 mL

Since the figure to be constructed is a cube, he had to calculate the cube root of the volume to find the value of the edge of the cube:

Edge of the cube = \sqrt[3]{9.2272203 cm^{3} } (Taking into account that cm^{3} is proportional to mL)

Edge of the cube = 2.097443624 cm

Because the cube edge value is so specific, in order to manage his budget, he was able to order a 2.1 cm cube, which would bring the mass up to 80.29287 g, and in the lab reduce one of the faces to the appropriate weight. .

On the other hand, the main thing he had to do was ask how much it would cost to make a cube with those specifications, especially when they mentioned that it would be "expensive" and he only had $50.

The significant figures guarantee the correct operation of a machinery, a gear, a team in general, for which the accuracy will not only be taken to the millimeter, but sometimes microns or much more specific, as in the case of computer components, Therefore, it is very important, if not, and if arbitrary measurements are taken that do not consider significant figures, the components could not function properly, which would cause a loss in time, effort and manpower.

When the following equation is balanced using the smallest possible integers, what is the coefficent of oxygen gas?
elena55 [62]

By balancing a chemical reaction, you must first balance the atom that is in smaller amount in the chemical species that you have in the reaction. In the combustion reaction presented in the question that atom is carbon (C). Therefore, the first thing to do is multiply the CO2 by 7, since those are the carbon atoms that are in the C7H16O. The reaction would be like this,

C7H16O + O2  →  7CO2 + H2O

You can make a table of the amount of atoms of C, H and O that you have in the reagents and products after you put a coefficient 7 in front of the CO2, in the following way,

R P

C 7 7

H 16 2

O 3 15

Then you balance the hydrogens. It is better that you leave the last oxygens since there is an oxygen molecule alone, so when adding a coefficient to balance it, the quantities of the rest of the atoms in the equation would not be altered.

To balance the hydrogens you add an 8 in front of the H2O molecule in the reagents, since there are 16 hydrogens in the molecule C7H16O and

8H x 2H = 16H.

The reaction and the table would be like this,

C7H16O + O2  →  7CO2 + 8H2O

R P

C 7 7

H 16 16

O 3 22

Finally, you balance the atoms of O. To do this, you add a coefficient of 21/2 to the O2 molecule, this is because (21/2) x2 = 21 and 21 O coming from the O2 molecule plus an O coming from the C7H16O molecule gives a total of 22 O, which are equal to the amount of O we have in the products.

C7H16O + (21/2)O2  →  7CO2 + 8H2O

To bring the coefficients of the reactants and the products to whole numbers multiply all the coefficients by 2. Then the reaction is like,

2 C7H16O + 21O2  →  14CO2 + 16H2O

As you can see when the given reaction is balanced using the smallest possible integers, the coefficent of oxygen gas is 21
