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.

Calculate  the  mole  of  glucose  and  water
 The  moles  of water =158g/18g/mol=8.778 moles
moles of  glucose =52.8g/180g/mol=0.293 moles
determine  the mole  fraction  of  the  solvent
that  is   x solvent = 8.778/ (8.778+0.293)=0.9677
use  the  Raults  law  to  determine  the  vapor  pressure
100  degree  of  water  has   a  vapor  pressure  of  760 mmhg
p solution=(x  solvent) (p^o solvent)
p solution=0.9677 x760 =735.45 mmHg

Upon heating with acid salicylic acid can form a polymer. what is its structure likely to be
Gnesinka [82]
Take a look at the attached picture. This is not the reaction of polymerization of salicylic acid. It just shows the structure of salicylic acid and the structure when it's polymerized. The polymerization is done by connecting the salicylic acids where you produce one molecule of water.

Of elements N, O, Cl, Na, and Which two would likely have similar chemical properties and why
ch4aika [34]
Oxygen and Nitrogen would be the most similar of the elements listed, because they are the closest in the periodic table. This isn't a very good reason for anything, but the two do have some similar properties. They are both non-metals, they are both highly electronegative, they are both diatmoic gasses in their natural states, they have a similar number of valence electrons, they are both generally oxidizing agents. Oxygen and Chlorine are also quite similar, but not quite as similar as Oxygen and Nitrogen.

Kaylis [27]

Physical changes occur when the properties of a substance are retained and/or the materials can be recovered after the change. Chemical changes involve the formation of a new substance. Formation of a gas, solid, light, or heat are possible evidence of chemical change.
