Answer:

25%.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Experimental yield = 30 g

Actual yield = 40 g

Percentage error =..?

Thus, we can calculate the percentage error as follow:

Percentage error = |Experimental – Actual | / Actual × 100

Percentage error = |30 – 40|/40 × 100

Percentage error = 10/40 × 100

Percentage error = 25 %

Therefore, the percentage error in calculating the yield is 25%

How manymoles of each ion are present in 175 mL of 0.147 M Fe2(SO4)3?

lilavasa [31]

Answer: 0.0257 moles of $Fe^{3+}$ and 0.0257 moles of $SO_4^{2-}$

Explanation:

Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per Liter of the solution.

$Molarity=\frac{moles}{\text {Volume in L}}$

moles of $Fe_2(SO_4)_3=Molarity\times {\text {Volume in L}}=0.147\times 0.175L=0.0257moles$

The balanced reaction for dissociation will be:

$Fe_2(SO_4)_3\rightarrow Fe^{3+}+SO_4^{2-}$

According to stoichiometry:

1 mole of $Fe_2(SO_4)_3$ gives 1 mole of $Fe^{3+}$ and 1 mole of $SO_4^{2-}$

Thus there will be 0.0257 moles of $Fe^{3+}$ and 0.0257 moles of $SO_4^{2-}$

mel-nik [20]

1. Make a Prediction

2. Fill both beakers with water

3. Dissolve salt in one of the beakers

4. Place both in the freezer and observe

5. Write a report

(Always make the prediction first! That's a hypothesis!)

What differs from between a radioactive isotope and a stable isotope

Digiron [165]

A stable isotope has just<em> the right number of neutrons for the number of protons </em>(the <em>n:p ratio</em>) to hold the nucleus together against the repulsions of the protons.

A radioactive isotope has either too few or too many neutrons for the nucleus to be stable,

The nucleus will then emit <em>alpha, beta, or gamma radiation</em> in an attempt to become more stable.
