The value of the given expression up to correct significant figures is $330 m^2$ .

The rule that applies for the multiplication and division is :

The least number of significant figures in any number of the problem determines the number of significant figures in the answer.

The rule that applies for the addition and subtraction is :

The least precise number present after the decimal point determines the number of significant figures in the answer.

Given:

The expression: (23.4m)(14m)

To find:

The answer up to correct a number of significant figures.

Solution

Number of significant figures in '23.4' = 3

Number of significant figures in '14' = 22

$=(23.4m)(14m)\\=(23.4m)\times (14m)\\=327.6 m^2$

The number with the least significant figures is '14' is 2, so the answer will be reported up to 2 significant figures:

$=327.6 m^2\approx 330 m^2$

Number of significant figures in '330' = 3

The value of the given expression up to correct significant figures is $330 m^2$ .

A 25.225 g sample of aqueous waste leaving a fertilizer manufacturer contains ammonia. The sample is diluted with 75.815 g of wa

Rudik [331]

Answer:

1.43 (w/w %)

Explanation:

HCl reacts with NH3 as follows:

HCl + NH3 → NH4+ + Cl-

1 mole of HCl reacts per mole of ammonia.

Mass of NH3 is obtained as follows:

Moles HCl:

0.02999L * (0.1068mol / L) = 3.203x10-3 moles HCl = Moles NH3

Mass NH3 in the aliquot:

3.203x10-3 moles NH3 * (17.031g / mol) = 0.0545g.

Mass of sample + water = 22.225g + 75.815g = 98.04g

Dilution factor: 98.04g / 14.842g = 6.6056

That means mass of NH3 in the sample is:

0.0545g * 6.6056 = 0.36g NH3

Weight percent is:

0.36g NH3 / 25.225g * 100

Which sentence describes an example of sublimation?

Strike441 [17]

An example of sublimation is when a dry ice changes to carbon dioxide when kept in an open container. Sublimation is a change from solid phase to gas phase without passing through the liquid state. In this example, it is clear that the dry ice is solid form and it evaporates as gas without passing through the liquid state.

How many molecules are in 42.3g sample of water

Helga [31]

Answer:

The number of molecules is 1.4140*10^24 molecules

Explanation:

To know the number of molecules, we need to determine how many moles of water we have, water has molar mass of 18.015g/mol

This means that one mole of water molecules has a mass of 18.015g.

42.3g * 1 mole H2O/18.015g

= 2.3480 moles H2O

We are using avogadros number to find the number of molecules of water

2.3480 H2O * 6.022*10^ 23moles/ 1mole of H2O

That's 2.3480 multiplied by 6.022*10^23 divided by 1 mole of H2O

Number of molecules = 1.4140 *10^24 molecules
