QUESTION:
Determine whether each molecular diagram represents a pure substance or a mixture. If it represents a pure substance, classify the substance as an element or a compound. If it represents a mixture, classify the mixture as homogeneous or heterogeneous.
ANSWER:
Solution 41E All digits of a measurement including uncertain number are called significant figures. Significant figures = all certain digits + one uncertain digit The rules for determining the significant figures are (i) Zeros between nonzero digits are always significant (ii) Zeros at the beginning of a number are never significant. (iiI) Zeros at the end of a number are significant if the number has a decimal point only. Rules for find out the significant figures for multiplication and division When multiplication and division is carried out, the results must contain the same significant figures with the measured one which has the fewest significant figures. That is way the result should be rounded off when it contains more correct significant figures. Rules for find out the significant figures for Subtraction and addition The decimal places will be same for the result as the the measurement with the fewest decimal places.That is way the result should be rounded off when it contains more c
