Interpretation:
The given figure below needs to be observed and the measurements to the correct number of significant figures needs to be recorded.
Concept introduction:
In order to determine the number of significant figures, the following rules should be applied,
1. The non-zero digits are always significant.
2. In a number, the zeros to the left of the first non-zero digit are not significant.
3. Zeros between non zero digits are significant
4. Zeros to the right of the decimal place are significant
5. If a number ends in zero that are not to the right of a decimal, the zeros may or may not be significant.
To round off a number, look at the digit up to which number needs to be rounded off. If the digit right to it is less than 5 simply add 1 to the previous digit and remove all the digits after it from the number. If the digit right to the digit up to which rounding needs to be done is less than 5, just remove all the digits after it from the number.
Now, if the digit is equal to 5 then 1 is added to the previous digit if it is an odd number. If the previous digit is an even number, simply remove all the digits after it from the number.

Imagine separating this process into the four stages sketched below. (These sketches show only a portion of the substances, so you can see the density and distribution of atoms and molecules in them.) CH,CN H₂O B 88 C Use these sketches to answer the questions in the table below. The enthalpy of solution AH is negative soln when CH3CN dissolves in water. Use this information to list the stages in order of increasing enthalpy. Would heat be absorbed or released if the system moved from Stage C to D? What force would oppose or favor the system moving from Stage C to D?

- Using the Arrhenius equation, it is possible to establish the relationship between the rate constant (k) of a chemical reaction and the temperature (T), in Kelvin (K), the universal gas constant (R), the pre-exponential factor (A) and the activation energy (Ea). This equation is widely applied in studies of chemical kinetics, and is also widely used to determine the activation energy of reactions. In this context, the following graph shows the variation of the rate constant with the inverse of the absolute temperature, for a given chemical reaction that obeys the Arrhenius equation. Based on the analysis of this graph and the concepts acquired about the kinetics of chemical reactions, analyze the following statements: I. The activation energy (Ea) varies with the temperature of the system. II. The activation energy (Ea) varies with the concentration of the reactants. III. The rate constant (K) varies proportionally with temperature. IV.

Arsenic (As) is extremely toxic in its many forms and oxidation states. In nature, especially in groundwater, it is found in the form of arsenate (AsO ₄ ³ ⁻ ), which can be electrochemically reduced to As ⁰ and collected at the cathode of a coulometric cell. In this case, Potentiostatic Coulometry (at 25°C) was performed in an alkaline medium (pH = 7.5 throughout the analysis) to quantify the species. What potential (E) should have been selected/applied to perform the analysis, considering that this is an exhaustive electrolysis technique (until 99.99% of all AsO ₄ ³ ⁻ has been reduced to As ⁰ at the electrode, or n( final) = 0.01% n( initial )) and that the concentration of AsO ₄ ³ ⁻ found in the initial sample was 0.15 mmol/L ?
