Remember every time you take a measurement, the last digit recorded represents a guess.

Answer:

Answer below!

Explanation: Mean -- add all of the values and divide by the total number of data points.

Error -- subtract the theoretical value (usually the number the professor has as the target value) from your experimental data point.

Percent error -- take the absolute value of the error divided by the theoretical value, then multiply by 100

If aluminum is diffused into a thick slice of silicon with no previous aluminum in it at a temperature of 1100˚C for 8 hours, wh

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

8.354 nanometers

Explanation:

To treat a diffusive process in function of time and distance we need to solve 2nd Ficks Law. This a partial differential equation, with certain condition the solution looks like this:

$\frac{C_{s}-C{x}}{C_{s}-C_{o}}=erf(x/2\sqrt{D*t})$

Where Cs is the concentration in the surface of the solid

Cx is the concentration at certain deep X

Co is the initial concentration of solute in the solid

and erf is the error function

Then we solve right side,

$\frac{C_{s}-C{x}}{C_{s}-C_{o}}=\frac{1018atoms/cm3-1016atoms/cm3}{1018atoms/cm3}=0.001964$

And we need to look up the inverse error function of 0.001964 resulting in: 0.00174055

Then we solve for x:

$x=0.00174055*2*\sqrt{D*t} =0.00174055*2*\sqrt{2*10^{-12}cm^{2}/s*8h*3600s/h}=8.35464*10^{-7}cm$

What is the volume of a sample if the density is 2.35 g/mL and the mass is 33.67 g?

lawyer [7]

Density=2.35g/mL
Mass=33.67g

$\\ \star\sf\longmapsto Density=\dfrac{Mass}{Volume}$

$\\ \star\sf\longmapsto Volume=\dfrac{Mass}{Density}$

$\\ \star\sf\longmapsto Volume=\dfrac{33.67}{2.35}$

$\\ \star\sf\longmapsto Volume=14.32mL$

What does C=o represent

Novay_Z [31]

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that is slightly less dense than air. ... Carbon monoxide consists of one carbon atom and one oxygen atom, connected by a triple bond that consists of two covalent bonds as well as one dative covalent bond.

I think it's probably not right.
