5 meteals that are more useful for electroplating carbon,seth,
Well first of all, I think the students may have been correct.
If they didn't use distilled water, and if it wasn't exactly at
standard temperature, then the mass of 25.0 mL could
very well be 25.4 grams. We don't know that there was
any 'error' in their measurement at all.
But the question says there was, so we'll do the math:
The 'error' was (25.4 - 25.0) = +0.4 gram
As a fraction of the 'real' value, the error was
+0.4 / 25.0 = +0.016 .
To change a decimal to a percent, move the
decimal point two places that way ===> .
+ 0.016 = +1.6 % .
Their measurement was 1.6% too high.
Let's not call it an 'error'. Let's just call it a 'discrepancy'
between the measured value and the 'accepted' value. OK ?
The part of a river that would have animals with muscular bodies and adaptations that let survive in turbulent water is in the transition zone, the mid-transition zone to be precise.
Water at the source zone possesses a lot of potential energy and as it flows from the upper reaches the potential energy is turned into kinetic energy when the course of the river begins to gradually level out and this translates into increase in velocity. By the time river water reaches the middle of the transition zone, most of the potential energy would have been turned into kinetic energy and thus water velocity would be quite high here.
Animals living here would develop muscles because of constantly fighting against the strong current to avoid being swept downstream.
