Answer:

5.77% Error.

Explanation:

Given an experimental value of 275 g , and a theoretical value of 260 g, the percent error can be found using the equation:

\% \: error \:  =  \frac{ |theoretical \: value \:  - \: experimental \: value | }{theoretical \: value}  \times 100

% Error = ( | 260 - 275 | / 260 ) × 100 = ( | - 15 | / 260 ) × 100 = ( 15 / 260 ) × 100 = 1500/260 = 300 / 52 = 5.769230769230.. ≈ 5.77%

Calculate the number of repetitions of the β-oxidation pathway required to fully convert a 18-carbon activated fatty acid to ace
Anna35 [415]
The number of repetition of the Beta oxidation requires to fully convert 18 carbon activated fatty acid to Acetyl COA molecule is NINE.
Beta oxidation of fatty acid involves oxidative removal of successive two carbon units in the form of acetlyl COA, starting from the carboxyl end of the fatty acyl chain. Thus, a fatty acid which has 18 carbons will have to undergo nine repetition of beta oxidation before it is reduced to an acetyl COA.

The temperature of a 500 ml sample of gas increases from 150 k to 300 k. what is the final volume of the sample of gas, if the p
seropon [69]
Upon a constant pressure (P), volume (V) of a gas will vary in direct proportion to changes in temperature (T). So V1/T1 = V2/T2
V2 = V1T2/T1 = (500)(300)/150
V2 = 150000/150 = 1000 mL
