Answer:

Heating to remove water of crystallization
Passing through a drying agent (deliquescent or hygroscopic substances)

Explanation:

If solid/crystals, compound can be dried by applying heat to remove the water of crystallization.

Drying agents are also utile in removing moisture from compounds in a dessicator. Substances which absorb water from air can be used as drying agents for gases. For instance, $CaCl_{2}$ , CaO or silica gel is suitable for drying gases, depending on reactivity of the substance.

Answer:

Heating is the best method

Explanation:

When a mass of crystals containing Water of crystallization is heated sufiiciently to a high temperature, water vapor may be driven off the crystals by the action of heat alone.

Which compound is used to make asphalt?

Masteriza [31]

Asphalt is a biproduct of making gasoline, diesel, kerosene, jet fuel, all from crude oil pumped from the ground. Asphalt is the garbage or waste that comes out the bottom of the process of distilling those products. They heat the thick oily-sooty gunky asphalt and mix it with rock or sand and make roads out of it. So the compound would be the long hydrocarbon chains.

A piece of wood has a labeled length value of 63.2 cm. You measure its length three times and record the following data: 63.1 cm

Ulleksa [173]

Percent error (%)= $\frac{\left | Accepted value - Measured value \right |}{Accepted value}\times 100$

Accepted value is true value.

Measured values is calculated value.

In the question given Accepted value (true value) = 63.2 cm

Given Measured(calculated values) = 63.1 cm , 63.0 cm , 63.7 cm

1) Percent error (%) for first measurement.

Accepted value (true value) = 63.2 cm, Measured(calculated values) = 63.1 cm

Percent error (%)= $\frac{\left | Accepted value - Measured value \right |}{Accepted value}\times 100$

$Percent error = \frac{\left | 63.2 - 63.1 \right |}{63.2}\times 100$

$Percent error = \frac{0.1}{63.2}\times 100$

$Percent error = 0.00158\times 100$

Percent error = 0.158 %

2) Percent error (%) for second measurement.

Accepted value (true value) = 63.2 cm, Measured(calculated values) = 63.0 cm

Percent error (%)= $\frac{\left | Accepted value - Measured value \right |}{Accepted value}\times 100$

$Percent error = \frac{\left | 63.2 - 63.0 \right |}{63.2}\times 100$

$Percent error = \frac{0.2}{63.2}\times 100$

$Percent error = 0.00316\times 100$

Percent error = 0.316 %

3) Percent error (%) for third measurement.

Accepted value (true value) = 63.2 cm, Measured(calculated values) = 63.7 cm

Percent error (%)= $\frac{\left | Accepted value - Measured value \right |}{Accepted value}\times 100$

$Percent error = \frac{\left | 63.2 - 63.7 \right |}{63.2}\times 100$

$Percent error = \frac{\left | -0.5 \right |}{63.2}\times 100$

$Percent error = \frac{(0.5)}{63.2}\times 100$

$Percent error = 0.00791\times 100$

Percent error = 0.791 %

Percent error for each measurement is :

63.1 cm = 0.158%

63.0 cm = 0.316%

63.7 cm = 0.791%

How to Calculate the de Broglie wavelength for each of the following ? a. an electron with a velocity 10.% of the speed of light

qaws [65]

H = planks constant
m = mass of the object 
u = velocity of the object 

h = 6.626 * 10^-34 J/s 
the mass of an electron is 9.12*10^-31 kg 
10% speed of light = 10% * 3*10^8 = 3*10^7 m/s, i dont have my graphing calc with me right now so i leave the technicalities up to you
