What is the minimum number of moles of sodium borohydride required to fully reduce 0.55 grams of benzophenone? enter only the number with two significant figures.

see explanation below

Explanation:

In this case, is pretty easy. This is a reduction reaction to form the respective alcohol.

Now for each mole of benzophenone that it's present, reacts with 1 mole of Sodium borohydryde, so, all we need to do, is to calculate the moles of benzophenone presents and these, would be the same moles of NaBH4 so:

moles Benzophenone : m/MM

The molar mass of benzophenone reported is 182.22 g/mol so:

moles Benzophenone = 0.55/182.22 = 3.02x10⁻³ moles

so the moles of NaBH₄ = 3.02x10⁻³ moles

a saline water is fed to a reverse osmosis unit at flow rate o rotameter connected to reject (retentate) line reads 8 installed in reject and permeate line reads 15.2 milli siemens/cm and 300 micro siemens/com respectively.

most historians agree that gabriel mouton, the vicar of st. paul’s church in lyons, france, is the “founding father” of the metric system. he proposed a decimal system of measurement in 1670. mouton based it on the length of one minute of arc of a great circle of the earth (now called a nautical mile, 1852 meters). he also proposed the swing-length of a pendulum with a frequency of one beat per second as the unit of length (about 25 cm). a pendulum beating with this length would have been fairly easy to produce, thus facilitating the widespread distribution of uniform standards. over the years, his work was revised, improved, and extended by a number of french scientists.

the political sponsor of weights and measures reform in the french revolutionary national assembly was the bishop of autun, better known as talleyrand. under his auspices, the french academy appointed several committees to carry out the work of developing a usable system of weights and measures for france. one of the committees recommended a decimalized measurement system based upon a length equal to one ten-millionth of the length of a quadrant of the earth’s meridian (i.e., one ten-millionth of the distance between the equator and the north pole).
