Answer:

The absolute uncertainty is 10%.

Explanation:

The absolute uncertainty, sometimes referred to as absolute error, is the size of the possible range of values where by the actual or true value of a measurement probably lies.

The uncertainty of the 50 mL beaker is given as  ± 10%. This implies that the volume recorded using the beaker will either be 10 % above or below the actual volume.

The absolute uncertainty ignores the direction of the error, whether above or below, and is mostly concerned with the magnitude of the error. We simply ignore the signs of the uncertainty and this will give the value of the absolute uncertainty.

The absolute uncertainty for this beaker is ± 5 mL.

Explanation

The uncertainty is the measure of error an instrument can exhibit during measurement.

It is the error range in any kind of measurement.

There are two kinds of uncertainty: relative and absolute.

Relative uncertainty is the percentage of error occurred during measurement while absolute uncertainty quantifies the perfect value of error range with the measuring unit.

In this problem, the relative uncertainty was given as ±10 % and the estimated value is 50 mL.

So the conversion from relative uncertainty to absolute uncertainty can be done by the following formula

Absolute uncertainty=Relative uncertainty*Estimated value

Absolute uncertainty=10/100*50=5 mL

So the value can be written as 50 mL±5 mL with the absolute uncertainty as 5 mL.

You are given a cube of lead that is 1.000 cm on each side. The density of lead is 11.35. How many atoms of lead are in the samp
aliya0001 [1]

<u>11.35 g</u><u> </u><u>atoms </u><u>of lead are in the sample.</u>

What does density mean?

  • The density of an area refers to the quantity of things—which may include people, animals, plants, or objects—there are in it.
  • Divide the number of objects by the area's measurement to determine density.
  • A country's population density is calculated by dividing its total population by its area, expressed in square kilometers or miles.

We can calculate the volume of the cube by cubing the side of the cube.

Volume of cube = ( 1.000 cm)³

                           = 1.000 cm³

We can now determine the amount of lead in the cube by multiplying by the density. Because we know we have a 1.000 cubic centimeter and that lead has a density of 11.35 grams per cubic centimeter, we have 11.35 grams of lead.

           =  ( 1.000 cm³) ( 11.35 \frac{g}{cm^{3} } )

         = 11.35 g

Which of the following leads to a higher rate of diffusion?
tiny-mole [99]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Higher velocity of particles

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

The diffusion rate is determined by a variety of factors which includes;

  • Temperature such that the higher the temperature, the more kinetic energy the particles will have, so they will move and mix more quickly and the diffusion rate will be high.
  • Concentration gradient such that the greater the difference in concentration, the quicker the rate of diffusion.
  • Higher velocity of particles increases the diffusion rate as this means more kinetic energy by the particles and hence the particles will mix and move faster, thus higher diffusion rate.
