C. Ca and Br because they're metals and nonmetals
Answer:
10.78 → 4 significant figures, pH = 10.78 → [H⁺] = 1.66ₓ10⁻¹¹ M
6.78 → 3 significant figures, pH = 6.78 → [H⁺] = 1.66ₓ10⁻⁷ M
0.78 → 2 significant figures, pH = 0.78 → [H⁺] = 0.166 M
pH always can be expressed by at least 4 significant figures. The [H⁺], can be expressed by, at least 3 significant figures
Explanation:
Significant figures are the numbers of a measurement that have certainty plus a doubtful number (it is associated with the uncertainty in the measurement). For example, if we measure a paper with a ruler and the ruler measures up to centimeters we can say that the paper is 7.5 cm long, with which we know that the paper is 7 cm + 0.5 cm which we associate with uncertainty. In this case we talk about two significant figures. If the sheet measured 7.57 cm we would already be talking about a more precise measurement and in this case with 3 significant figures.
10.78 → 4 significant figures
6.78 → 3 significant figures
0.78 → 2 significant figures
To determine [H⁺], we apply 10^-pH
10⁻¹⁰°⁷⁸ = 1.66ₓ10⁻¹¹ M
10⁻⁶°⁷⁸ = 1.66ₓ10⁻⁷ M
10⁻⁰°⁷⁸ = 0.166 M
Answer:
= 25 ppm
Explanation:
- PPM also refers to parts per million, it represents a low concentration of a solution. It represents 0.001 gram or a milligram in a 1000 mL, which equivalent to 1 mg per liter.
Given; a sample size of 2000 g contained 0.050 g DDT
It means, 2000 mL sample contained 50 mg DDT
Therefore in ppm we get;
= 50 mg/ 2 L
= 25 mg/L
<u>= 25 ppm</u>
