Convert 12.5 grams of fluorine gas at STP to L.
1.What is the coefficient of the scientific notation answer? 2.What is the exponent of the scientific notation answer? 3.How many significant figures are there in the answer ?
4.What is the right most significant figure in the answer?

Answer 1

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

1 mole of a gas occupies 22.4 L

x moles occupies 16.8 L

x = 1 mole * 16.8 L/22.4 L

x = 0.75 moles

number of moles = mass/molar mass

mass = number of moles * molar mass

mass = 0.75 moles * 30.01 g/mol = 22.5075 g = 2.25 * 10^1 g

the coefficient of the scientific notation answer = 2.25

the exponent of the scientific notation answer = 1

significant figures are there in the answer = 6

the right most significant figure in the answer = 3

2.

number of moles = 12.5g/38g/mol = 0.3289 moles

1 mole occupies 22.4 L

0.3289 moles occupies 0.3289 moles * 22.4 L/1 mole

= 7.36736 L = 7.36736 * 10^0 L= 7.37 * 10^0 L

the coefficient of the scientific notation answer =7.37

the exponent of the scientific notation answer = 0

significant figures are there in the answer = 6

the right most significant figure in the answer= 3
