(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The significant figures has to be rounded off for the given measurement.

Concept Introduction:

Significant figures:

The total number of digits that are recorded for a measurement is named as measurements of number of significant figures.

Rules for significant figures:

  • Zero present in the middle of number are always significant
    • Example: The number of significant figures in 4.803 cm is four.
  • Zero present at the starting of a number are non-significant, they act to find the decimal point.
    • Example: The number of significant figures in 0.0061g is three.
  • Zero present at the end of the number and after a decimal point are significant.
    • Example: The number of significant figures in 55.220 K is five.
  • Zero present at the end of the number and before a decimal point are non-significant.
    • Example: The number of significant figures in 34,200 m may be three, four or five.

Rounding off the significant figures:

  • If the first digit is less than five, round down by dropping it and all succeeding digits
  • If the first digit is greater than or equal to five, remove five and add one to the digit on the left.

Using the conditions of spontaneity to deduce the signs of AH and AS Use the observations about each chemical reaction in the table below to decide the sign (positive or negative) of the reaction enthalpy AH and reaction entropy AS. Note: if you have not been given enough information to decide a sign, select the "unknown" option. reaction observations conclusions A This reaction is always spontaneous, but proceeds slower at temperatures above 120. °C. ΔΗ is (pick one) AS is (pick one) ΔΗ is (pick one) B This reaction is spontaneous except above 117. °C. AS is (pick one) ΔΗ is (pick one) This reaction is slower below 20. °C than C above.

Calculating the pH at equivalence of a titration Try Again Your answer is incorrect. 0/5 a A chemist titrates 70.0 mL of a 0.7089 M hydrocyanic acid (HCN) solution with 0.4574M KOH solution at 25 °C. Calculate the pH at equivalence. The pK of hydrocyanic acid is 9.21. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Note for advanced students: you may assume the total volume of the solution equals the initial volume plus the volume of KOH solution added. pH = 11.43] G 00. 18 Ar B•
