Taking into account the definition of Scientific notation, the correct way to write the distance in scientific notation is option B. 4.217×10⁵ km.

First of all, scientific notation is a quick way to represent a number using powers of base 10. This notation is used to be able to express very large or very small numbers very easily.

The numbers are written as a product:

a×10ⁿ

where:

  • a is a real number greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10, to which a decimal point is added after the first digit if it is a non-integer number.
  • n = a whole number, which is called an exponent or an order of magnitude. Represents the number of times the point decimal is shifted. It is always an integer, positive if it is shifted to the left, negative if it is shifted to the right.

In this case, to write the number 421,700 in scientific notation, the following steps are performed:

  • The decimal point is moved to the left as many spaces until it reaches the right of the first digit. This number will be the value of a in the previous expression. Then a = 4.21700= 4.217
  • The base 10 is written with the exponent equal to the number of spaces that the decimal point moves. This is a positive number because the decimal point is shifted to the left, and it will have a value of n = 5.

So, the correct way to write the distance in scientific notation is option B. 4.217×10⁵ km.

Van dar waals are the dominant molecular force in the sodium chloride. ​
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

Recall the two conceptual steps necessary to dissolve a solute and form a solution

Key Points

There are two conceptual steps to form a solution, each corresponding to one of the two opposing forces that dictate solubility.

The first conceptual step is dissolution, which corresponds to the force of the solvent-solvent and solute-solute intermolecular attractions that needs to be broken down.

The second conceptual step is solvation, which corresponds to the force of the solute-solvent intermolecular attraction that needs to be formed in order to form a solution.

Many intermolecular forces can contribute to solvation, including hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole forces, Van Der Waals forces, and ion-dipole interactions.

Term

intermolecular forcesattractive and repulsive forces between molecules

The strength of the intermolecular forces between solutes and solvents determines the solubility of a given solute in a given solvent. In order to form a solution, the solute must be surrounded, or solvated, by the solvent. Solutes successfully dissolve into solvents when solute-solvent bonds are stronger than either solute-solute bonds or solvent-solvent bonds.

Qualitatively, one can determine the solubility of a solute in a solvent by using the rule “like dissolves like”. In general, solutes whose polarity matches that of the solvent will generally be soluble. For example, table salt (NaCl) dissolves easily into water (H2O) because both molecules are polar.

Intermolecular Forces and Their Importance in Solution Formation

There are two conceptual steps to form a solution, each corresponding to one of the two opposing forces that dictate solubility. If the solute is a solid or liquid, it must first be dispersed — that is, its molecular units must be pulled apart. This requires energy, and so this step always works against solution formation (always endothermic, or requires that energy be put into the system).

What is the new concentration of 25.0mL added to 125.0mL of 0.150M
____ [38]

Answer:

The new concentration is 0.125 M.

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume V₁ = 125.0 mL

Initial molarity M₁ = 0.150 M

New volume V₂ = 25 mL +125 mL = 150 mL

New concentration M₂ = ?

Solution:

M₁V₁    =    M₂V₂

0.150 M × 125 mL = M₂ × 150 mL

M₂ = 0.150 M × 125 mL / 150mL

M₂ = 18.75 M.mL/150 mL

M₂ = 0.125 M

The new concentration is 0.125 M.

On the axes provided, label pressure on the horizontal axis from O mb to 760 mb and volume on the vertical axis from O to 1 mL.
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

  • Please, find the graph with the labels and points located on the axes in the picture attached.

Explanation:

This is how you meet all the instructions and some important comments to understand how this kind of graphs word:

<u>1) Label pressure on the horizontal axis from O mb to 760 mb and volume on the vertical axis from O to 1 mL. </u>

The horizontal axis is used to record the independent variable and the vertical axis is used to record the dependent variable. The axes most be properly labeled with the name of the variable and the units.

In this case the origin is the point (0,0) which means that the axes cross each other, perpendicularly, at a pressure of 0 mb and a volume of 0.0 mililiters.

<u>2) Assign values to axes divisions in such a way that you occupy almost all the space on both axes. </u>

A good graph searches to occupy the whole space on both cases; to do that, find the maximum value for each variable, pressure and volume, and choose the values of the marks.

The range of the pressure (horizontal axis) is [90, 760 mb], so you should choose big divisions (marks) of 100 mb, and assign 800 mb to the right most mark on the horizontal axis. Then, you can divide each interval of 100 mb into 10 spaces, with small divisions of 10 mb (my graph uses 4 spcaes, with small divisions of 25 mb, but I recommend you use small divisions of 10 mb).

The range of the volume (vertical axis) is [0.1, 0.8], so you should choose only divisions with value of 0.1 ml.

<u>3) Now locate and label the points: </u>

  • (90, 0.9) ⇒ 90 mb, 0.9 ml
  • (100, 0.8) ⇒ 100 mb, 0.8 ml
  • (400, 0.2) ⇒ 400 mb, 0.2 ml
  • (600, 0.15) ⇒ 600 mb, 0.15 ml
  • (760, 0.1) ⇒ 760 mb, 0.1 ml

The points of the kind (x, y) are called ordered pairs, which means that the order matters, because it has a meaning: the first number represents the independent variable and the second number represents the dependent variable.

So, in the point (90, 0.9), 90 is a pressure of 90 mb and 0.9 is a volume of 0.9 ml.

To locate (600, 0.15), since the horizontal marks have value of 0.1, you must locate the second coordinate of your point between the marks 0.1 and 0.2 ml.

With that you can now locate each point on your graph.
