Video transcript

Hello everyone. Today. We are being asked to determine if the following statement is true or false. There are more significant figures in 0. than and 0.00088. So The first thing you wanna do is you want to analyze each number. So first we'll do 0.088 when it comes to significant figures. Any whole number greater than zero can be accounted for as a stick fig. So therefore this first number has to significant figures. As for the 2nd 1, 0.00088, we once again have two non zero integers. Therefore we have two significant figures as well. Therefore the answer is false as each of these numbers have the same number of significant figures, which is to I hope this helped and until next time.

Textbook Question

You are assigned the task of separating a desired granular material with a density of 3.62 g/cm3 from an undesired granular material that has a density of 2.04 g/cm3. You want to do this by shaking the mixture in a liquid in which the heavier material will fall to the bottom and the lighter material will float. A solid will float on any liquid that is more dense. Using an Internet-based source or a handbook of chemistry, find the densities of the following substances: carbon tetrachloride, hexane, benzene, and diiodomethane. Which of these liquids will serve your purpose, assuming no chemical interaction takes place between the liquid and the solids?

Textbook Question

In 2009, a team from Northwestern University and Western Washington University reported the preparation of a new 'spongy' material composed of nickel, molybdenum, and sulfur that excels at removing mercury from water. The density of this new material is 0.20 g/cm3, and its surface area is 1242 m2 per gram of material. (b) Calculate the surface area for a 10.0-mg sample of this material.
