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.

A solution is made by dissolving 10.7 g of magnesium sulfate, MgSO4, in enough water to make exactly 100 mL of solution. Calcula
adell [148]

Answer:

[MgSO₄] = 890 mM/L

Explanation:

In order to determine molarity we need to determine the moles of solute that are in 1L of solution.

Solute: MgSO₄ (10.7 g)

Solvent: water

Solution: 100 mL as volume. (100 mL . 1L / 1000mL) = 0.1L

We convert the solute's mass  to moles → 10.7 g / 120.36 g/mol = 0.089 moles

Molarity (mol/L) → 0.089 mol/0.1L = 0.89 M

In order to calculate M to mM/L, we make this conversion:

0.89 mol . 1000 mmoles/ 1 mol = 890 mmoles

vivado [14]

Respuesta:

16,7 mL

Explicación:

Paso 1: Información provista

  • Concentración inicial (C₁): 6%
  • Volumen inicial (V₁): ?
  • Concentración final (C₂): 0,5%
  • Volumen final (V₂): 200 mL

Paso 2: Calcular el volumen de la solución concentrada

Queremos preparar una solución diluida de hipoclorito de sodio a partir de una concentrada. Podemos calcular el volumen inicial que debemos tomar usando la regla de dilución.

C₁ × V₁ = C₂ × V₂

V₁ = C₂ × V₂ / C₁

V₁ = 0,5% × 200 mL / 6% = 16,7 mL
