Students measured the mass of 25.0 mL of water and found it be 25.4 g. The accepted mass is 25.0 g. What is the percent error of

the students' measurement to the nearest whole percent?

Well first of all, I think the students may have been correct. 
If they didn't use distilled water, and if it wasn't exactly at 
standard temperature, then the mass of  25.0 mL  could
very well be  25.4 grams.  We don't know that there was
any 'error' in their measurement at all.
But the question says there was, so we'll do the math:

The 'error' was  (25.4 - 25.0) = +0.4 gram

As a fraction of the 'real' value, the error was

                            +0.4 / 25.0  =  +0.016 .

To change a decimal to a percent, move the
decimal point two places that way  ===> .

                           + 0.016  =  +1.6 % .

     
Their measurement was 1.6% too high.

Let's not call it an 'error'.  Let's just call it a 'discrepancy'
between the measured value and the 'accepted' value.  OK ?

Gravity and magnetism are both
ella [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Comment

You have to read this carefully enough that you don't mix up energy and forces.

Gravity is a force. If you don't believe me try jumping off a building. Which way are you going to go and why? Down because gravity attracts your mass.

So Magnetism must be a force as well. It acts in one direction, but not a specific one the way gravity acts). It also either attracts or repulses (pushes an object away)

What type of change accurs when a substance stays the same
Thepotemich [5.8K]
This would be a physical change because it can change back to its original form. This is like ripping paper. You can piece it back together and it still is paper.

The opposite of this is chemical change. Chemical change means the product has been changed completely like burning paper. The paper has now been turned to ash and it's impossible to change this back to its original form.

An experiment is conducted using 2 plants to determine if the amount of sunlight they receive affects how fast they grow. Which
Phantasy [73]

Greetings!

The correct answer choice is Choice 4.

<em>Why?</em>

In a scientific experiment the only thing being changed is the independent variable. Everything else should stay the same.

In this experiment, the independent variable is the amount of sunlight each plant should receive. <em>Here's a tip</em>- when looking for and independent variable look for whats being changed on purpose.

Hope this helps!

The air also contained a small amount of argon.
andriy [413]

Answer:

When argon changes from a gas to a liquid, the forces between the molecules become stronger so the particles become closer together and come into come into contact more often. The particles move at a less faster rate as the have less kinetic energy due to decrease in temperature. When argon changes from a liquid to a solid, the forces become even stronger so the particles are arranged in fixed positions and vibrate around a fixed point as they cannot move past each other
