6.7 mL of a ptassium chlorid solution was added to a 54.730 gevaporating dish. The combination weight 61.945 g. Afterevaporation

the dish contents weight 55.428 g.
a. What was the mass percent of potassium chloride in thesolution?
b. If the actual mass percent of the potassium in the abovesolution was 10.00%, what was the percentage error of the abovemeasurment?
c. Why was the evaporation used to determine the masspercentage of potassium cloride in the solution rather than thefiltration or recrystallization? Explain.

Explanation:

A.

Mass of evaporation dish + solution of KCl = mass of dish + mass of solution of KCl

61.945 = 54.73 + mass of KCl solution

= 7.215 g

Mass of evaporation dish + dry KCl = mass of dish + mass of dry KCl

55.428 = 54.73 + mass of dry KCl

= 0.698 g.

% Mass of KCl = mass of dry KCl/mass of KCl solution * 100

= 0.698/7.215 * 100

= 9.67%

B.

At 10%, mass = 0.7215 g

Change in error = 0.7215 - 0.698

= 0.0235 g

% error = change in error/actual mass at 10% * 100

= 0.0235/0.7215 * 100

= 3.26 %

C.

In evaporation, KCl does not decompose on heating. In filtration, there needs to be a heterogeneous solution(particles or suspension of KCl present) and it is not suitable for soluble salts while recrystallisation is mainly a purification process for solution and KCl is equally soluble in cold and hot water.

Why do we sometimes use roman numerals in naming ionic compounds?
Blababa [14]
Roman numerals are used in naming ionic compounds when the metal cation forms more than one ion. The metals that form more than one ion are the transition metals, although not all of them do this.

Darin skateboarded to the north at 4 m/s. In 5 seconds, he sped up to 7 m/s. What was his acceleration?
Julli [10]
To solve this problem we can use following equation.

v =u + at

Where v is the final velocity (m/s), u is the initial velocity (m/s), a is the acceleration (m/s²) and t is the time taken (s).

v = 7 m/s
u = 4 m/s
a = ?
t = 5 s

By applying the equation, we can get
    7 m/s = 4 m/s + a x 5 s
    3 m/s = a x 5 s
          a = 0.6 m/s²

Hence, the acceleration is 0.6 m/s² towards north.

Answer is "C".
