Answer:

\%\ Error = 21.5\%

Explanation:

Given

Measured = 24.5

Actual = 31.2

Required

Determine the percentage error

First, we need to determine the difference in the measurement

Difference = |Actual - Measured|

Difference = |31.2 - 24.5|

Difference = |6.7|

Difference = 6.7

The percentage error is calculated as thus:

\%\ Error = \frac{Difference * 100\%}{Actual}

\%\ Error = \frac{6.7 * 100\%}{31.2}

\%\ Error = \frac{670\%}{31.2}

\%\ Error = 21.4743589744\%

\%\ Error = 21.5\% <em>approximated</em>

Sauron [17]

Answer:

0.1472 mol/L is the concentration of the barium hydroxide solution.

Explanation:

2KHC_8H_4O_4+Ba(OH)_2\rightarrow Ba(KC_8H_4O_4)_2+2H_2O

Mass of potassium hydrogen phthalate = 2.050 g

Molar mass of potassium hydrogen phthalate = \frac{2.050 g}{204.2 g/mol}=0.01004 mol

According to reaction , 2 moles of potassium hydrogen phthalate reacts with 1 mole of barium hydroxide, then 0.01004 moles of potassium hydrogen phthalate will :

\frac{1}{2}\times 0.01004 mol=0.005020 mol of barium hydroxide

Moles of barium hydroxide = 0.005020 mol

Volume of the barium hydroxide solution = 34.10 mL = 0.03410 L

1 mL = 0.001 L

Molarity=\frac{Moles}{Volume(L)}

Molarity of the barium hydroxiude silution :

=\frac{0.005020 mol}{0.03410 L}=0.1472 mol/L

0.1472 mol/L is the concentration of the barium hydroxide solution.

The boiling point of water is 100ºC. The boiling point of acetone is 56ºC. Which statement about distilling a mixture of acetone
Anika [276]

Answer:

I think  Acetone will be  captured and cooled.

Explanation:

Distillation is a method of separation based on the difference in boiling point of two liquids.

The liquid that has a lower boiling point is first separated from the mixture. It vaporizes, cooled and collected before the liquid that has a higher boiling point.

In this case, acetone is captured and cooled before water since it has a boiling point of 56ºC and water has a boiling point of 100ºC.

How many objects are in a mole of objects?
lakkis [162]
Your Question: {How many objects are in a mole?}

Helpful Knowledge: (We Know the amount in an object: 12g or C^12)

{A number of objects that are in a mole of objects?}

Well for the question it is pretty easy to answer because a number of objects in One mole would equal 6.02 × 10²³ 

Which 6.02 × 10²³ is an Avogadro's Number. 

So it depends on how many objects you have.

So for every object you have, One mole would equal 6.02 × 10²³. Or 62,000,000,000,000,0000,000,000. Big Number am I right. So that's why we just use 6.02 × 10²³.

Anywho, your answer would be 6.02 x 10²³ x n. 
N would equal the number of objects you're calculating. 

Final Answer: 6.02 x 10²³ x (n) = (Your Answer)

Hope this helps! Have a great day. If you need anything else, feel free to hope right in my inbox. Or comment below. ↓

Is an example of the carbon cycle occurring slowly?(1 point)
o-na [289]

Decomposition is a part of the carbon cycle that occurs slowly hence  movement of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere when bacteria decomposes dead matter is a slow part of the carbon cycle.

<h3>What is the carbon cycle?</h3>

The carbon cycle is part of the biogeochemical cycles that exist in nature. It refers to the movement of carbon in the ecosystem. The carbon cycle cuts across the air, the land and the water bodies.

The process in the carbon cycle that occurs slowly among the options is the movement of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere when bacteria decomposes dead matter.
