9) After lab, all of Darrel’s friends looked at his data and laughed and laughed. They told him that he was 30.8% too low in the

boiling point he had just recorded. He had recorded a boiling point of 50o C on his data sheet. What is the correct boiling point of the liquid he was working with in lab?

Answer:

\boxed{72 \, ^{\circ}\text{C}}

Explanation:

\text{Percent error} = \dfrac{\lvert \text{Measured - Actual}\lvert}{ \text{Actual}} \times100 \,\%

Data:

Percent error = 30.8 %

    Measured = 50 °C

Calculation:

Let x = the actual value

\begin{array}{rcl}-30.8 \,\% & = &\dfrac{50 - x}{x} \times 100 \, \%\\\\-30.8x & = & 100(50 - x)\\-30.8x & = & 5000 - 100x\\69.2x & = & 5000\\x & = & \dfrac{5000}{69.2}\\ & = & \mathbf{72}\end{array}

\text{The correct boiling point is }\boxed{\mathbf{72 \, ^{\circ}\text{C}}}\\\text{Note: The answer can have only two significant figures, because that is all} \\\text{you gave for the measured value.}

If he was 30.8% too low, it means that he was at 69.2% of the boiling point needed. So 50o C is 69.2% of total.

In order to know what 100% is, you can divide the number by it's percentage and then multiply it by a hundred.

So: 50/30.8=1.623
1.623*100=162.3
So the correct boiling point of the liquid he was working with in the lab is 162.3 oC

Count the total number of atoms in the chemical formula 5H2O2
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

20 atoms

Explanation:

There are 4 in H2O2 because of 2 hydrogens and 2 oxygens.

Then, multiply by 5 because the coefficient is 5, therefore there are 5 H2O2 molecules.

5 x 4 = 20

At 400 K, the rate of decomposition of a gaseous compound initially at a pressure of 12.6 kPa, was 9.71 Pa s-1 when 10.0 per cen
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

The order of the reaction with respect to the gas = 2

Explanation:

Let the original gas pressure be [G₀]

Initial rate of reaction is given as

r = k [G₀]ⁿ

When 10% had reacted, amount of gas left = [0.9G₀], r = 9.71 Pa/s

r = k [0.9G₀]ⁿ = 9.71 (eqn 1)

when 20% had reacted, amount of gas left = [0.8G₀], r = 7.67 Pa/s

r = k [0.8G₀]ⁿ = 7.67 (eqn 2)

Dividing (eqn 1) by (eqn 2)

(9.71/7.67) = [0.9/0.8]ⁿ

1.266 = 1.125ⁿ

1.125ⁿ = 1.266

Take natural logarithms of both sides

n (In 1.125) = In 1.266

n = 0.236/0.118

n = 2.
