How can we determine the number of significant figures in measurements?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Rule 1: All nonzero digits in measurement are significant.

Rule 2: Zeros that appear between other nonzero digits (i.e., "middle zeros") are always significant.

 

Rule 3: Zeros that appear in front of all of the nonzero digits are called leading zeros. Leading zeros are never significant.

 

Rule 4: Zeros that appear after all nonzero digits are called trailing zeros. A number with trailing zeros that lacks a decimal point may or may not be significant.

 

Rule 5: Trailing zeros in a number with a decimal point are significant. This is true whether the zeros occur before or after the decimal point.

What is the concentration of Iodine I2 molecules in a solution containing 2.54 g of iodine 250 cm3 of solution? A 0.01mol/dm3 B 0.02mol/dm3 C 0.04mol/dm3 D 0.08mol/dm3

Answers

Answer:

C. 0.04 moles per cubic decimeter.

Explanation:

The molar mass of the Iodine is 253.809 grams per mole and a cubic decimeter equals 1000 cubic centimeters. The concentration of Iodine ([tex]c[/tex]), measured in moles per cubic decimeter, can be determined by the following formula:

[tex]c = \frac{m}{M\cdot V}[/tex] (1)

Where:

[tex]m[/tex] - Mass of iodine, measured in grams.

[tex]M[/tex] - Molar mass of iodine, measured in grams per mol.

[tex]V[/tex] - Volume of solution, measured in cubic decimeters.

If we know that [tex]m = 2.54\,g[/tex], [tex]M = 253.809\,\frac{g}{mol}[/tex] and [tex]V = 0.25\,dm^{3}[/tex], then the concentration of iodine in a solution is:

[tex]c = \frac{2.54\,g}{\left(253.809\,\frac{g}{mol} \right)\cdot (0.25\,dm^{3})}[/tex]

[tex]c = 0.04\,\frac{mol}{dm^{3}}[/tex]

Hence, the correct answer is C.

(ii)what mass of limestone would produce 11.2 grams of lime?
Show your working

Answers

Answer:

Mass = 19.0 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of limestone react = ?

Mass of lime produced = 11.2 g

Solution:

Balanced chemical equation:

CaCO₃     →      CaO + CO₂

Number of moles of lime:

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Molar mass of lime 56.1 g/mol

Number of moles = 11.2 g/ 56.1 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.19 mol

Now we will compare the moles of CaO and CaCO₃

                     CaO        :           CaCO₃

                       1             :             1

                     0.19          :          0.19

Mass of limestone react:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.19 mol × 100.1 g/mol

Mass = 19.0 g

Explanation:

Given

The number of zinc atoms =[tex]4.98\times 10^{24}[/tex]

To find:

The mass of given atoms of zinc atoms

Solution:

The number of zinc atoms =N=[tex]4.98\times 10^{24}[/tex]

According to mole concept:

1 mole = Avogadro 's Number = [tex]N_A= 6.022\times 10^{23} atoms/ molecules/ions[/tex]

Let the moles of zinc be = n

Zns (zinc sulfide) (Zn = 65.38; S = 32.06] *

Answers

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Zinc and sulfur react to form zinc sulfide by the equation shown below. How many grams of ZnS can be formed when 12.0 g of Zn reacts with 6.50 g of S? (Atomic mass: Zn = 65.38, S = 32.06).

Answer:

17.5 g of ZNS

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is;

Zn(s) + S(s) ------->ZnS(s)

Number of moles of Zn = 12.0/65.38 = 0.18 moles

Number of moles of S = 6.50/32.06 = 0.20 moles

Hence Zn is the limiting reactant

If 1 mole of Zn yields 1 mole of ZnS

Then 0.18 moles of Zn also yields 0.18 moles of ZnS

Mass of ZnS produced = 0.18 moles *  97.44 g/mol = 17.5 g of ZNS

Answer:

17.5 g of ZNS

What pressure is exerted by 0.625 moles of a gas in a 45.4 L container at -24.0 °C? Find pressure in units of atm.

Answers

Answer:

Ok to solve this you will need to use the Ideal Gas Law Formula which is as follows:

PV = nRT

P= pressure

V= volume

n= # of moles

R= Universal Gas Constant (0.0821 L x atm/mol x K)

T= Kelvin temperature

1.Simplify the Ideal Gas Law formula to what you need to solve for:

P = (nRT)/ V

2. List all you components as follows (this makes the process easier):

P = ?

V = 45.4 L

n = 0.625 mol

R = 0.0821 L x atm/ mol x K

T = 249 K

To find the Kelvin temperature K = C + 273

3. Plug in all your components in your set up formula:

P = [(0.625 mol)(0.0821 L x atm/ mol x K)(249 K)] / (45.4 L)

4. Cross out all similar units so the only thing left is atm because you are trying to find pressure.

P = [(0.625)(0.0821atm)(249)] / (45.4)

5. Multiply through and simplify

P = 0.28 atm

B. is the correct answer.

The structural formula of the nonpolar molecule is H-H. Therefore, option (3) is correct.

What is a nonpolar molecule?

A molecule that does not have the charges present at the end as the electrons are finely distributed and symmetrically cancels out each other is a non-polar molecule. A polar molecule cannot be mixed with a non-polar molecule in a solution.

Water is a polar molecule that does not mix with oil as it is a non-polar molecule. Non-polar molecules have a net dipole moment of zero as the dipoles of the atoms are canceled out within the molecule.

Non-polar bonds have formed because the difference in the electronegativities of atoms is less than 0.5. Non-polar bonds do not are generally formed in compounds where there is a presence of symmetry.

The HCl has differences in the electronegativities of hydrogen and chlorine atoms. Therefore, HCl is a polar molecule. Ammonia is also a polar molecule due to the difference in the electronegativities H and N.

Therefore, the Hydrogen molecule (H-H) is a nonpolar molecule as the electronegativity difference is zero.

Reaction

HCOOH  ⇒​  CO+H₂O

MW = 1.Ar C+2.Ar H+2.Ar O

MW = 1.12+2.1+2.16

MW= 46 g/mol

mol = mass : MW

mol = 6 g : 46 g/mol

mol = 0.13

From equation, mol ratio HCOOH  : CO, so mol CO = 0.13

Answers

Answer:

В.  No, because the mass of the reactants is less than the mass of the products.

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

NaBr + Cl₂      →      2NaCl + Br₂

The given equation is not balanced because number of moles of sodium and bromine atoms are less on reactant side while more on the product side.

There are one mole of sodium and one mole of bromine atom on left side of equation while on right side there are 2 moles of bromine and 2 moles of sodium atom are present. The number of moles of chlorine atoms are balanced.

Balanced chemical equation:

2NaBr + Cl₂      →      2NaCl + Br₂

Now equation is balanced. Number of moles of sodium , chlorine and bromine atoms are equal on both side.

We can see that there is an equal number of moles in the reactant side of the equation.

i.e.

one mole of CaF₂  reacts with one mole of Br₂.

Thus, there is no limiting reactant.

There will be no limiting reactants as the chemical equation has the reactant totally consumed and thus leading to no reactants.

We can see that there's an identical range of moles withinside the reactant aspect of the equation

CaF2 + Br2 → CaBr2 + F2 From the above equation;one mole of CaF2  reacts with one mole of Br2.
