Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The number of significant digits in the following has to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Measurements are done with the help of an instrument. The instrument is usually calibrated. In a measurement the uncertainty is expressed in terms of significant digits. The rules to determine significant digits are as follows
• All digits that are non-zero are significant.
• Zeroes to the left of the non- zero digit are not significant.
• The zeroes between two non-zero digits are significant.
• The digits to the right side of a non-zero digit are significant only if they lie after a decimal point.
(b)

INTRODUCTORY CHEMISTRY
- Calculate the pH and the pOH of each of the following solutions at 25 °C for which the substances ionize completely: (a) 0.000259 M HClO4arrow_forwardWhat is the pH of a 1.0 L buffer made with 0.300 mol of HF (Ka = 6.8 × 10⁻⁴) and 0.200 mol of NaF to which 0.160 mol of NaOH were added?arrow_forwardDetermine if the following salt is neutral, acidic or basic. If acidic or basic, write the appropriate equilibrium equation for the acid or base that exists when the salt is dissolved in aqueous solution. If neutral, simply write only NR. Be sure to include the proper phases for all species within the reaction. NaN₃arrow_forward
