Hello, to answer your question. It is because all machines require a fuel or source to power it making it imperfect for using some source that may not be renewable.

The actual density of iron is 7.874 g/mL. In a laboratory investigation, Jason finds the density of a piece of iron to be 7.921
mixas84 [53]

The percent error associated with Jason’s measurement is 0.596%.

HOW TO CALCULATE PERCENTAGE ERROR:

  • The percentage error of a measurement can be calculated by following the following process:
  1. Find the difference between the true value and the measured value of a quantity.
  2. Then, divide by the true value and then multiplied by 100

  • The true value of the density of iron is 7.874 g/mL
  • Jason observed value is 7.921 g/mL

Difference = 7.921 g/mL - 7.874 g/mL

Difference = 0.047 g/mL

Percentage error = 0.047/7.874 × 100

Percentage error = 0.596%.

Therefore, the percent error associated with Jason’s measurement is 0.596%.

Name the following alkane:
vladimir1956 [14]

The names of the alkanes are 2,2- dimethylbutane, 2,4- dimethylhexane, 2,2,3,3- tetramethylbutane and 4- ethyl, 3,6- dimethyl heptane.

Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbon in the organic chemistry. These are organic compounds that consists of single bonded carbon and hydrogen atoms. The common formula for writing an alkane is given by CₙH₂ₙ₊₂.

Alkanes are further divided into three more types which are:

1. Chain alkanes

2. Cycloalkanes

3. Branched alkanes

Hydrogenation method is used for preparation of alkanes from alkene and alkyne.

The names of the given compounds are:

Part A:

2,2- dimethyl butane

Part B:

2,4- dimethyl hexane

Part C:

2,2,3,3- tetramethyl butane

Part D:

4- ethyl, 3,6- dimethyl heptane

Learn more about alkanes from the link given below.

Which is the largest atomic radius
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

₁₁A

Explanation:

Atomic radius

As we move from left to right across the periodic table the number of valance electrons in an atom increase. The atomic size tend to decrease in same period of periodic table because the electrons are added with in the same shell. When the electron are added, at the same time protons are also added in the nucleus. The positive charge is going to increase and this charge is greater in effect than the charge of electrons.

This effect lead to the greater nuclear attraction. The electrons are pull towards the nucleus and valance shell get closer to the nucleus. As a result of this greater nuclear attraction atomic radius decreases.

So in given elements consider A₁₁, B₁₂, C₁₃ ans D₁₇ as sodium, magnesium, aluminium and chlorine. This is the third period and as we move form sodium to chlorine atomic radius decreases. That's why sodium has greater size.

As we move down the group atomic radii increased with increase of atomic number. The addition of electron in next level cause the atomic radii to increased. The hold of nucleus on valance shell become weaker because of shielding of electrons thus size of atom increased
