Answer:

Copper (II) sulfate

Explanation:

Given reaction is

2Al(s) + 3CuSO4(aq) → Al2(SO4)3(aq) + 3Cu(s)

Amount of aluminum = 1·25 g

Amount of copper (II) sulfate = 3·28 g

Atomic weight of Al = 26 g

Molecular weight of CuSO4 ≈ 159·5

Number of moles of Al = 1·25 ÷ 26 = 0·048

Number of moles of CuSO4 = 3·28 ÷ 159·5 = 0·021

From the above balanced chemical equation for every 2 moles of aluminum, 3 moles of copper (ll) sulfate will be required

So for 1 mole of Al, 1·5 moles of copper (ll) sulfate will be required

For 0·048 moles of Al, 1.5 × 0·048 moles of copper (ll) sulfate will be required

∴ Number of moles of copper (ll) sulfate required = 0·072

But we have only 0·021 moles of copper (ll) sulfate

As copper (ll) sulfate is not there in required amount, the limiting reactant will be copper (ll) sulfate

∴ The limiting reactant is copper (ll) sulfate

There are two naturally occurring isotopes of indium: indium-113 and indium-115. How many neutrons are in a single atom of indiu
KonstantinChe [14]
There are 66 neutrons in a single atom of indium-115. The atomic number of indium-115 is 49, meaning there are 49 protons. Then the atomic mass is 115, so 115-49 = 66.

Systematic or Random Error? -This type of error affects overall accuracy but does not necessarily affect precision. This type of
love history [14]

Answer:

<em>This type of error affects overall accuracy but does not necessarily affect precision.</em> - Systematic error

<em>This type of error affects precision but does not necessarily affect overall accuracy.</em> - Random error

<em>This type of error occurs if you use a buret that was calibrated incorrectly when it was made.</em> - Systematic error

<em>You can minimize this type of error by taking repeated measurements.</em> - Random error

Explanation:

<em>Systematic errors are errors that are attributable to instrument being used during measurement or consistent incorrect measurement during a research</em>. They are consistently and repeatedly committed during measurements and therefore affect the overall accuracy of measurements. A person committing systematic error can have precise repeated measurement but will be far from being accurate.

R<em>andom errors on the other hand has no pattern and are usually unavoidable because they cannot be predicted.</em> When sufficient replicate measurements are made, such errors are reduced to the barest minimum and usually do not affect the overall accuracy of measurements.
