Answer:

<h3>The answer is 1.71 %</h3>

Explanation:

The percentage error of a certain measurement can be found by using the formula

$P(\%) = \frac{error}{actual \: \: number} \times 100\% \\$

From the question

actual mass = 200 g

error = 200 - 196.59 = 3.41

We have

$p(\%) = \frac{3.41}{200} \times 100 \\ = 1.705$

We have the final answer as

Which process is most likely responsible for the removal of the missing parts of the rock layers

Sav [38]

I believe Erosion is the process most likely responsible for the removal of the missing parts of the rock layers. Erosion involves the physical action of surface processes that removes soil, rock, or dissolved material from one location on the Earth's crust, then moved away to another location.

3.5g of a Certain compound X, known to be made of carbon, hydrogen, and perhaps oxygen, and to have a molecular molar mass of 15

shutvik [7]

Answer:

C₅H₁₀O₅

Explanation:

1. Calculate the mass of each element in 2.78 mg of X.

(a) Mass of C

$\text{Mass of C} = \text{5.13 g CO}_{2}\times \dfrac{\text{12.01 g C}}{\text{44.01 g }\text{CO}_{2}}= \text{1.400 g C}$

(b) Mass of H

$\text{Mass of H} = \text{2.10 g H$_{2}$O}\times \dfrac{\text{2.016 g H}}{\text{18.02 g H$_{2}$O}} = \text{0.2349 g H}$

(c) Mass of O

Mass of O = 3.5 - 1.400 - 0.2349 = 1.87 g

2. Calculate the moles of each element

$\text{Moles of C = 1400 mg C}\times\dfrac{\text{1 mmol C}}{\text{12.01 mg C }} = \text{116.6 mmol C}\\\\\text{Moles of H = 234.9 mg H} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mmol H}}{\text{1.008 mg H}} = \text{233.1 mmol H}\\\\\text{Moles of O = 1870 mg O} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mmol O}}{\text{16.00 mg O}} = \text{116 mmol O}$

3. Calculate the molar ratios

Divide all moles by the smallest number of moles.

$\text{C: } \dfrac{116.6}{116.6}= 1\\\\\text{H: } \dfrac{233.1}{116.6} = 1.999\\\\\text{O: } \dfrac{116}{116.6} = 1.00$

4. Round the ratios to the nearest integer

C:H:O = 1:2:1

5. Write the empirical formula

The empirical formula is CH₂O.

6. Calculate the molecular formula.

EF Mass = (12.01 + 2.016 + 16.00) u = 30.03 u

The molecular formula is an integral multiple of the empirical formula.

MF = (EF)ₙ

$n = \dfrac{\text{MF Mass}}{\text{EF Mass }} = \dfrac{\text{150 u}}{\text{30.03 u}} = 5.00 \approx 5$

MF = (CH₂O)₅ = C₅H₁₀O₅

The molecular formula of X is C₅H₁₀O₅.
