Answer:

<h3>The answer is 1.12 %</h3>

Explanation:

The percentage error of a certain measurement can be found by using the formula

P(\%) =  \frac{error}{actual \:  \: number}  \times 100\% \\

From the question

actual density = 8.96 g/mL

error = 8.96 - 8.86 = 0.1

We have

p(\%) =  \frac{0.1}{8.96}  \times 100 \\  = 1.1160714...

We have the final answer as

<h3>1.12 %</h3>

Hope this helps you

What information do we need to determine the molecular formula of a compound from the empirical formula?
defon

Answer:

Molecular mass

Explanation:

Molecular formulas is the actual number of atoms of each element in the compound while empirical formulas is the simplest or reduced ratio of the elements in the compound.

Thus,  

Molecular mass = n × Empirical mass

Where, n is any positive number from 1, 2, 3...

Thus if the molecular mass is known, then we can find the value of n which results to molecular formula.

A piece of magnesium with a mass of 5.867 g was heated in a crucible which was open to the air. After the magnesium had combuste

The empirical formula of the magnesium oxide formed is MgO

Here given data is piece of magnesium with a mass = 5.867 g  after the magnesium had combusted and allowed to cool down the product and mass = 8.956 g

The empirical formula is the simplest whole number ratio of atoms in a compound and the ratio of atoms is the same as the ratio of moles and when crucible react with magnesium and air means oxygen then magnesium reacts readily with oxygen in the air, to produce magnesium oxide then chemical reaction is written as follows:

2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO

and hence when it cool down automatically the mass of magnesium is more than 1st mass because in that oxygen of air are added and that's why MgO are made the empirical formula of the magnesium oxide formed is MgO

Know more about magnesium oxide formed.
