No. Of protons = mass no. - no. Of neutrons
No. Of protons = 67 - 37
= 30
No. Of electrons = 28
Zinc will have 30 protons and 28 electrons. So, it will have +2 charge
Symbol - Zn^+2
Finding percent composition is fairly easy. You only need to divide the mass of an element by the total mass of the compound. We can do this one element at a time.
First, let's find the total mass by using the masses of the elements given on the periodic table.
7 x 12.011 (mass of Carbon) = 84.077
5 x 1.008 (mass of Hydrogen) = 5.04
3 x 14.007 (mass of Nitrogen) = 42.021
6 x 15.999 (mass of Oxygen) = 95.994
Add all of those pieces together.
84.077 + 5.04 + 42.021 + 95.994 = 227.132 g/mol is your total. Since we also just found the mass of each individual element, the next step will be very easy.
Carbon: 84.077 / 227.132 = 0.37016 ≈ 37.01 %
Hydrogen: 5.04 / 227.132 = 0.022189 ≈ 2.22 %
Nitrogen: 42.021 / 227.132 = 0.185 ≈ 18.5 %
Oxygen: 95.994 / 227.132 = 0.42263 ≈ 42.26 %
You can check your work by making sure they add up to 100%. The ones I just found add up to 99.99, which is close enough. A small difference (no more than 0.03 in my experience) is just a matter of where you rounded your numbers.
Answer:
Percent error = 12.5%
Explanation:
In a measurement you can find percent error following the formula:
Percent error = |Measured value - Accepted Value| / Acepted value * 100
Based on the data of the problem, accepted value is 22.4L and the measured Value (Value of Sara) was 19.6L.
Replacing:
Percent error = |Measured value - Accepted Value| / Acepted value * 100
Percent error = |19.6L - 22.4L| / 22.4L * 100
Percent error = |-2.8L| / 22.4L * 100
Percent error = 2.8L / 22.4L * 100
Percent error = 12.5%
