A geological process changes the Earth's surface.
Answer:
b) The dehydrated sample absorbed moisture after heating
Explanation:
a) Strong initial heating caused some of the hydrate sample to splatter out.
This will result in a higher percent of water than the real one, because you assume in the calculation that the splattered sample was only water (which in not true).
b) The dehydrated sample absorbed moisture after heating.
Usually inorganic salts may absorbed moisture from the atmosphere so this will explain the 13% difference between calculated water percent the real content of water in the hydrate.
c) The amount of the hydrate sample used was too small.
It will create some errors but they do not create a difference of 13% difference as stated in the problem.
d) The crucible was not heated to constant mass before use.
Here the error is small.
e) Excess heating caused the dehydrated sample to decompose.
Usually the inorganic compounds are stable in the temperature range of this kind of experiments. If you have an organic compound which retain water molecules you may decompose the sample forming volatile compounds which will leave crucible so the error will be quite high.
<span>Molds are created to achieve a
specific design of a material. These materials either came from a process of
having a higher or lower temperature. Therefore, the molder must have thermal
resistant properties. Low melting points means that the material to be shaped
came from a cooler process. Wood and metal have higher thermal conductivity and
therefore can easily be cooled. The wax can turn really hard and can be
unbreakable when present in colder materials due to the lipids present in it. Clay
however can become a mold because of its low melting point.</span>
