The more numbers after the decimal point there are, the more precise the instrument which recorded it is. For example, if one instrument during seismic activity records that the magnitude of the earthquake was 2.3, and another instrument recorded that it was 2.3645, the second instrument would have shown to be more precise.

How many SO32- ions are contained in 99.6 mg of Na2SO3? The molar mass of Na2SO3 is 126.05 g/mol.
DochEvi [55]
99.6 mg= .0996 g
.0996g x (1mol/125.05g) x (1 mol SO3/1 mol Na2SO2) x (6.02 x 10^22/1mol SO3) = 4.79 x 10^19 SO32- ions

An unknown compound melting at 131 - 133 C. It is thought to be one of the following compounds: trans-cinnamic acid (133-134); b
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

benzamide

Explanation:

Compound            melting Point ,ºC          Melting Pont Mixture, ºC

       X                          131 - 133

trans-cinnamic            133 - 134                      110 - 120

acid

benzamide                 128 - 130                       130-132

malic acid                   131   -133                        114 -124

Benzoin                      135 - 137                        108 - 116

The compound X is benzamide since the melting point range is the one closest to this compound (  130-132 ºC)

The reason there is not an exact match is not due due to the presence of impurities. The presence of impurities always lower the melting point ( it is a coligative property such as the melting point depresion of salt and water )

The reason for the deviation must be  be some other factors such as preparation of the sample in the capillary, errors in reading the thermometer, rate of heating, etc.
