A) Polymer is the general name of large units made of many smaller units (these would be called monomers). An example is starch, this is a carbohydrate polymer that is made up of smaller units (monomers) called glucose.

Describe how you would prepare approximately 2 l of 0.050 0 m boric acid, b(oh)3.

Elenna [48]

The given concentration of boric acid = 0.0500 M

Required volume of the solution = 2 L

Molarity is the moles of solute present per liter solution. So 0.0500 M boric acid has 0.0500 mol boric acid present in 1 L solution.

Calculating the moles of 0.0500 M boric acid present in 2 L solution:

$2 L * \frac{0.0500 mol B(OH)_{3} }{1 L} = 0.100 mol B(OH)_{3}$

Converting moles of boric acid to mass:

$0.100 mol B(OH)_{3} * \frac{61.83 g}{mol B(OH)_{3}} = 6.183 g$

Therefore, 6.183 g boric acid when dissolved and made up to 2 L with distilled water gives 0.0500 M solution.

why does every human measurement have uncertainty associated with it? Why must we manage the uncertainty during calculations?

dimulka [17.4K]

Because there are many numbers of the human measurement . we must manage the uncertainly doing calculations because we can know what we are calculating.

At a temperature of __________ °c, 0.444 mol of co gas occupies 11.8 l at 889 torr.

Novay_Z [31]

<span>ideal gas law is: PV = nRT P = pressure (torr) = 889 torr V = volume (Liters) = 11.8 L n = moles of gas = 0.444 mol R = gas constant = 62.4 (L * torr / mol * k) solve for T (in kelvin) T = PV/nR T = (889*11.8)/(.444*62.4) T = 378.6 K convert to C (subtract 273) T = 105.6 deg C</span>

A tank holds 6.90 m3 of water. What is the volume in ft3? (3.28 ft = 1 m, Remember significant figures, but this answer does not

AleksAgata [21]

Volume of tank = $6.9 m^{3}$ (given)

Since, $1 m = 3.28 ft$

So,

$1 m^{3} = 35.287 ft^{3}$

For $6.9 m^{3}$ :

$6.9\times 35.287 ft^{3} = 243.4803 ft^{3}$

The significant rule for multiplication, states that the number of significant figures in the answer obtained by multiplication is determined by the value with the lowest number of significant digits.

Since, the minimum number of decimal places in the above multiplication operation is 1 so, the final result must be upto 1 decimal place only.

$243.4803 ft^{3} \simeq 243.5 ft^{3}$

Hence, volume in $ft^{3}$ is 243.5.

How many grams of CaF2 are present in 1.25 L of a 0.15 M solution of CaF2? How do I find the grams I am confused on that part?

dybincka [34]

Answer:

Mass = 14.64 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of solution = 1.25 L

Molarity of Solution = 0.15 M

Mass of CaF₂ = ?

Solution:

Molarity is used to describe the concentration of solution. It tells how many moles are dissolve in per litter of solution.

Formula:

Molarity = number of moles of solute / L of solution

We will calculate the number of moles of CaF₂ and then determine the mass by using number of moles.

0.15 M = number of moles of solute / 1.25 L

number of moles of solute = 0.15 M × 1.25 L

number of moles of solute = 0.1875 mol/L × L

number of moles of solute = 0.1875 mol

Mass in gram:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.1875 mol ×78.07 g/mol

Mass = 14.64 g
