a student determined in the laboratory that the percent by mass of water in cus04 5h20 is 38.0% if the accepted value is 40% wha

t is the percent of error

IrinaVladis [17]4 years ago
4 0
Percent error is [(abs(experimental - actual))/(actual)] * 100
(38.0 - 40.0 ) / 40.0 = 2.0 / 40 =  0.05 
0.05 * 100 = 5
since there are 2 sigfigs, the answer is 5.0 %

I made the 2 positive since the absolute value of 38.0 - 40.0 was taken
There are only 2 sigfigs because of the subtraction of 38.0 - 40.0 gives 2.0, only 2 sigfigs

Consider four different samples: aqueous LiBr , molten LiBr , aqueous AgBr , and molten AgBr . Current run through each sample p
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

a) Aqueous LiBr = Hydrogen Gas

b) Aqueous AgBr = solid Ag

c) Molten LiBr = solid Li

c) Molten AgBr = Solid Ag

Explanation:

a) Aqueous LiBr

This sample produces Hydrogen gas, because the H+ (conteined in the water) has a reduction potential higher than the Li+ from the salt. Therefore the hydrogen cation will reduce instead of the lithium one and form the gas.

b) Aqueous AgBr

This sample produces Solid Ag, because the Ag+ has a reduction potential higher than the H+ from the water. Therefore the silver cation will reduce instead of the hydrogen one and form the solid.

c) Molten LiBr

In a molten binary salt like LiBr there is only one cation present in the cathod. In this case the Li+, so it will reduce and form solid Li.  

c) Molten AgBr

The same as the item above: there is only one cation present in the cathod. In this case the Ag+, so it will reduce and form solid Ag.

10. a. What is the binding energy released when an alpha particle of mass 6.64 x 10-27 kg escapes from the nucleus of Uranium- 2
shutvik [7]

Answer:

The binding energy released is 1.992 X 10⁻¹⁸ J

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the alpha particle, m = 6.64 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

speed of the alpha particle, c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

The binding energy released is given by;

E_b = mc^2

where;

m is mass of the particle

c is speed of the particle

E = 6.64 x 10⁻²⁷ (3 x 10⁸)²

E = 1.992 X 10⁻¹⁸ J

Therefore, the binding energy released is 1.992 X 10⁻¹⁸ J
