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

A 0.150-kg sample of a metal alloy is heated at 540 Celsius an then plunged into a 0.400-kg of water at 10.0 Celsius, which is c

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

$C_{alloy}=0.497\frac{J}{g\°C}$

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to this calorimetry problem on equilibrium temperature, it is possible for us to infer that the heat released by the metal allow is absorbed by the water for us to write:

$Q_{allow}=-(Q_{water}+Q_{Al})$

Thus, by writing the aforementioned in terms of mass, specific heat and temperature, we have:

$m_{alloy}C_{alloy}(T_{eq}-T_{alloy})=-(m_{water}C_{water}(T_{eq}-T_{water})+m_{Al}C_{Al}(T_{eq}-T_{Al})$

Then, we solve for specific heat of the metallic alloy to obtain:

$C_{alloy}=\frac{-(m_{water}C_{water}(T_{eq}-T_{water})+m_{Al}C_{Al}(T_{eq}-T_{Al})}{m_{alloy}(T_{eq}-T_{alloy})}$

Thereby, we plug in the given data to obtain:

$C_{alloy}=\frac{-(400g*4.184\frac{J}{g\°C} (30.5\°C-10.0\°C)+200g*0.900\frac{J}{g\°C}(30.5\°C-10.0\°C)}{150g(30.5\°C-540\°C)} \\\\C_{alloy}=0.497\frac{J}{g\°C}$

What is the mass percentage for copper ?

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

To find the mass percent composition of an element, divide the mass contribution of the element by the total molecular mass. This number must then be multiplied by 100% to be expressed as a percent.

N⁻³ and Na⁺ have same A Atomic no. B Mass No. C No. of electrons D No. of neutrons

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

C.) No. of electrons

Explanation:

A.) is incorrect. The atomic number represents the number of protons in an element. Nitrogen (N) and sodium (Na) always have a differing amount of protons.

B.) is incorrect. The mass number represents the number of protons and neutrons in an element. The number of neutrons and protons are specific to each element (disregarding isotopes). When elements ionize, these amounts are not altered.

C.) is correct. When an element becomes an ion, the number of electrons change. When nitrogen gains 3 electrons and sodium loses 1 electron, they end up having the same number of electrons (10).

D.) is incorrect. When elements ionize, the number of neutrons does not change. The only way two different elements could have the same number of neutrons is if at least one of the elements is an isotope. Isotopes are two or more atoms of the same element that differ in their amounts of neutrons.
