<u>Answer:</u>

17%

<u>Explanation:</u>

Mass of a piece of copper calculated by student = 8.3 grams

Actual mass of copper = 10 grams

We know the formula for the percent error:

Percentage error = (| experimental value - actual value | / actual value) * 100

So substituting the given values in the above formula:

Percent error = (|8.3 - 10| / 10) * 100 = (1.7/10) * 100 = 17%

This solution is "supersaturated".

A supersaturated solution is a solution that contains a higher than than the concentration of solute, slight unsettling influence or seeding causes crystallization of abundance solute. 
Supersaturation is a condition of a solution that contains a greater amount of the dissolved material than could be dissolved by the solvent under ordinary conditions.

What volume of a 1.08M KI solution would contain 0.642 moles of KI?
il63 [147K]

Answer: Volume is 0.594 litres

Explanation: Amount of moles = volume · concentration

n = Vc  and V = n/c = 0.642 mol / 1.08 mol/l = 0,59344..  l

Substances can be categorised in two ways: as an element, mixture or compound ora as a solid, liquid or gas. which
adoni [48]

Answer:

Most substances on earth are compounds and most interesting chemistry is done with compounds. Most interesting chemistry is done with mixtures of compounds although they often start with pure compounds and then do reactions as mixtures. Most chemistry is carried out in liquid solutions made up of compounds that are solids, liquids, or gases in their pure form.

You have 4 moles of a gas in a 50 L container held at 2 atm pressure. Currently the temperature is 27 ºC. R = 0.0821 L*atm/(mol*
Mariulka [41]
The formula used for determining gas pressure, volume and temperature interaction would be PV=nRT. 

<span>• What is the temperature in Kelvins?
</span>You already right at this part. Kelvin temperature formula from celsius should be:
K= C+273.15= 
<span>K= 27 +273.15 = 300.15 
It is important to remember that the formula in this question is using Kelvin unit at temperature, not Celcius or Fahrenheit.
</span>
<span>• Assuming that everything else remains constant, what will happen to the pressure if the temperature decreases to -15 ºC?
</span>In this case, the temperature is decreased from 27C into -15C and you asked the change in the pressure.
Using PV=nRT formula, you can derive that the temperature will be directly related to pressure. If the temperature decreased, the pressure will be decreased too. 

<span> If you increase the number of moles to 6 moles, increase temperature to 400K and reduce the volume to 25 L, what will the new pressure be?
</span>PV=nRT
P= nRT/V
P= 6 moles* <span>0.0821 L*atm/(mol*K) * 400K/25L= 7.8816 atm</span>
