Which has greater precision, the 10 ml graduated cylinder or the 50 ml graduated cylinder?

1 answer:

7 0

The cylinder with the greater precision is the 10 ml graduated cylinder.
Precision refers to the closeness of a measurement to the true value.
A 10 ml graduated cylinder will have greater precision because it has marks for every 2 ml, this will allow you to read your measurements to two significant figures.
The 50 ml graduated cylinder on the other hand has marks for every 1 ml, this graduation will only allow the user to record measurement up to one significant figure. And you know, the more the significant figures, the more precise the measurement are.

6. How many moles of water would require 92.048 kJ of heat to raise its temperature from 34.0 °C to 100.0 °C? (3 marks)

scoray [572]

Taking into account the definition of calorimetry, 0.0185 moles of water are required.

<h3>Calorimetry</h3>

Calorimetry is the measurement and calculation of the amounts of heat exchanged by a body or a system.

Sensible heat is defined as the amount of heat that a body absorbs or releases without any changes in its physical state (phase change).

So, the equation that allows to calculate heat exchanges is:

Q = c× m× ΔT

where Q is the heat exchanged by a body of mass m, made up of a specific heat substance c and where ΔT is the temperature variation.

<h3>Mass of water required</h3>

In this case, you know:

Heat= 92.048 kJ
Mass of water = ?
Initial temperature of water= 34 ºC
Final temperature of water= 100 ºC
Specific heat of water = 4.186 $\frac{J}{gC}$

Replacing in the expression to calculate heat exchanges:

92.048 kJ = 4.186 $\frac{J}{gC}$ × m× (100 °C -34 °C)

92.048 kJ = 4.186 $\frac{J}{gC}$ × m× 66 °C

m= 92.048 kJ ÷ (4.186 $\frac{J}{gC}$ × 66 °C)

<u><em>m= 0.333 grams</em></u>

<h3>Moles of water required</h3>

Being the molar mass of water 18 $\frac{g}{mole}$ , that is, the amount of mass that a substance contains in one mole, the moles of water required can be calculated as:
