Calculations

I am under the impression sig figs for the tests do not take a toll on the grade, what if the correct number of sig figs being used alters our calculations which alters the answer to the problem?

Re: E3

So the picture is confusing, but the atoms on the left are gallium and the ones on the right aren’t technically on the pan, which is why it is asking you how many there would need to be in order to equal the mass of the ones on the left .

Re: Test 1 Question 7

Just use conversions as you would grams to moles, except for the whole compound. Once youve reached that step in your conversion, then you isolate carbon in the CO2 conversion and Hydrogen in H2O.

Re: Limiting reagent of NH(3) +CuO------->N(2)+H2O+CO

Once you make your conversions, the smaller result is the limiting reagent and the larger one is excess. Subtract excess reagent by the overall excess reagent given

I'm not exactly sure how to answer your question. I do not think you can have 4 bonds with a single element. If one combines with another, then it is just left at that.
