Answer:

There are 5 significant figures in 69.380.

Explanation:

The "0" in the thousandths, which is a trailing zero, is significant because it is part of the measurement value.

Answer:

Explanation:

Significant figures (also known as the significant digits, precision or resolution) of a number in positional notation are digits in the number that are reliable and absolutely necessary to indicate the quantity of something.

Significant numebrs: 69.38

We don't need the extra zero!

What is exchanged between the system and the surroundings

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

see note under explanation

Explanation:

When describing system and surroundings the system is typically defined as the 'object of interest' being studied and surroundings 'everything else'. In thermodynamics heat flow is typically defined as endothermic or exothermic. However, one should realize that the terms endothermic and exothermic are in reference to the 'system' or object of interest being studied. For example if heat is transferred from a warm object to a cooler object it is imperative that the system be defined 1st. So, with that, assume the system is a warm metal cylinder being added into cooler water. When describing heat flow then the process is exothermic with respect to the metal cylinder (the system) but endothermic to the water and surroundings (everything else).

Explain why scientists find the particulate matter of theory useful

BARSIC [14]

This idea has historical significance. The ancient Greek philosopher Democritus (born 460 BCE), who held that everything is composed of small particles moving in empty space, is credited with developing the first hypothesis we have about the microscopic universe. He had some concrete proof for this, such the fact that items like a new loaf of bread or a rose may give off a scent even when they are far from the source. Being a materialist, he thought that these odors originated from actual material particles released by the bread or the rose, rather than being purely a type of magic. He reasoned that these particles must float through the air, with some of them maybe landing in your nose where you can smell them immediately. This still makes sense in modern times. But many of us now have quite different perspectives on these "particles."

Thank you,

At 500K, the equilibrium constant for the reaction N2O4D2NO2 is 1.5 x 10^3. What is the equilibrium constant for the reaction: 6

Veronika [31]

Answer:

K = 2.96x10⁻¹⁰

Explanation:

Based on the initial reaction:

N2O4 ⇄ 2NO2; K = 1.5x10³

Using Hess's law, we can multiply this reaction changing K:

3 times this reaction:

3N2O4 ⇄ 6NO2; K = (1.5x10³)³ =3.375x10⁹

The inverse reaction has a K of:

6NO2 ⇄ 3N2O4 K = 1/3.375x10⁹;

The theoretical yield of Cl2 from certain starting amounts of MnO2 and HCl was calculated as 60.25 g and 65.02 g, respectively.

user100 [1]

Answer:

c 43.38 g

Explanation:

The reaction between MnO2 and HCl can be represented by the following balanced equation:

MnO2 + HCl ---> Cl2 + MnCl2 + H2O

From the balanced equation, the theoretically required molar ratio of MnO2 to HCl is 1:1, therefore the yields would have been expected to be equal.

For the fact that HCl gives a higher yield (65.02g) than MnO2 (60.25g) according to the problem statement, HCl should be in excess, while the limiting reagent should be MnO2 .

Thus, the theoretical yield of Cl2 will be 60.25 g.

By definition, the percentage yield is given by

% Yield = (Actual Yield) / (Theoretical Yield),

This can be simplified to

Actual Yield = % Yield * Theoretical Yield

Plugging in the given values we have

Actual Yield = 72% * 60.25 = 43.38 g
