Two! 7 and 8! If you put a number in scientific notation like that, everything before the multiplication sign is significant

The answer would be:

Two significant figures

In scientific notation, the only significant numbers would be in the coefficient. In your case:

7.8 x 10¹²

7.8 is the coefficient and there are two numbers, 7 and 8. This means that they are the only significant numbers.

But take note:

ALL NUMBERS IN THE COEFFICIENT ARE SIGNIFICANT!

So if you write something like:

7.80 x 10¹² (which is technically the same as the first)

There would be 3 significant figures, (7, 8 and zero)

How many grams of nano3 would you add to 500g of h2o in order to prepare a solution that is 0.500 molal in nano3?
VARVARA [1.3K]
When the concentration is expressed in molality, it is expressed in moles of solute per kilogram of solvent. Since we are given the mass of the solvent, which is water, we can compute for the moles of solute NaNO3.

0.5 m = x mol NaNO3/0.5 kg water
x = 0.25 mol NaNO3

Since the molar mass of NaNO3 is 85 g/mol, the mass is

0.25 mol * 85 g/mol = 21.25 grams NaNO3 needed

Consider this reaction: 2H+ + CO32- → H2O + CO2. Identify each of the following as a product, a reactant, or a coefficient.
givi [52]

  Identify  each  of the following  as a  product  or  a coefficient  in reaction   below

<h2> 2H^+  + CO3^2-  → H2O  + CO2</h2><h2 /><h2 /><h3>      <u><em>reactant  are</em></u></h3><h2>   H^+   and  CO3^2-</h2>

 <u><em>Reason:  </em></u>Reactant of a chemical  reaction are found in  the left  side. They are  initially present in  a chemical reaction  which  are  consumed to form  product.

<h3>     <em><u>Product are</u></em></h3>

H2O  and  CO2

<u><em>Reason</em></u>: They are found in the right  side of the reaction. Product are produced  in a chemical reaction.


      <em><u>coefficient</u></em>

<em><u> </u></em><em><u> </u></em>is   2

  • Coefficient  is  the  number found in front  of  a  formula.  
  • Therefore 2  is  the  coefficient  since it is found  in front of H^+

Identify two characteristics shared among transverse waves, longitudinal waves, and surface waves.
erik [133]

Answer: For transverse waves, the waves move in perpendicular direction to the source of vibration.

For longitudinal waves, the waves move in parallel direction to the source of vibration .

They are similar within the sense that energy is transferred within the kind of waves.

P4O10 + 6H2O 4H3PO4 How many moles of water are consumed if 0.729 mol H3PO4 are produced?
Kaylis [27]

1) State the equation that represents the chemical reaction


P2O5 + 3H2O → 2H3PO4


2) State the molar ratios: 1 mol P2O5 : 3 mol H2O : 2 mol H3PO4


3) Use the proportions 3molH2O / 2 mol H3PO4


0.729 mol H3PO4 * [ 3 mol H2O / 2 mol H3PO4] = 1.094 mol H2O


Answer: 1.094 mol of water

Why does it conduct more before and after this minimum point?
Leona [35]

Let me give you an example. Lets say that we have an amount of Ba(OH)2 compared to H2SO4. And let's say that the Ba(OH)2 dissociates as Ba+2 + 2 OH-. H2SO4 dissociates as 2 H+ + SO4-2. So, what happens here is that w<span>hen the conductivity is at a minimum it means that stoichiometric amounts of Ba(OH)2 and H2SO4 are present and the only materials you can find there in the reaction vessel are H2O and BaSO4. That is why it conduct more before and after this minimum point</span>
