Answer: The metalloids are a unique group of elements that share properties of both metals and nonmetals.
Explanation: They're also called the semimetals because of the shared properties of these elements along the dividing line between metals and nonmetals.
The answer is electrical energy
Answer:
<em>The number of electrons transferred in the reaction</em>
Explanation:
Answer:
- <em>The average mass of calcium in each sample is: </em><u>0.978 g</u>
<em />
- <em>The absolute uncertainty is: </em><u>0.008 g</u>
Explanation:
The <em>absolute uncertainty </em>of the total samples indicated in the statement is ± 0.1 g.
When you multiply or divide quantities with uncertainties, you calculate the final uncertanty by adding the <em>relative uncertainties</em> together.
The relative uncertainty is the absolute uncertainty divided by the quantity:
- Relative uncertainty = 0.1g / 12.2 g = 0.008
The average mass of calcium is calculated using proportions, along with the molar masses:
- Molar mass of calcium: 40.078 g/ mol (from a periodic table)
- Molar mass of calcite: 100.085 g/mol (given)
Proportion:
- 40.078 g of calcium / 100.085 g of calcite = x / 12.2 g of calcite
- x = 12.2 × 40.078 / 100.085 g = 4.89 g calcium
So the total mass of calcium in the five samples is 4.89 g, and the average mass in each sample is:
- Average mass = total mass of five samples / number of samples
- Average mass = 4.89 g / 5 = <u>0.978 g of calcium</u>
So, the first answer is that the average mass of calcium in each sample is 0.978 g ( keep 3 signficant figures, such as the quntitiy 12.2 shows, as you have only used multiplication and division).
The absolute uncertainty of each sample is the relative uncertainty multiplied by the average mass of calcium of the five samples, rounded to one decimal:
- Absolute uncertainty = 0.978 g × 0.008 ≈ 0.008 g
The answer to the secon question is that the absolute uncertaingy of calcium in each sample is 0.008 g.
