Answer:

0.24%

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Measured value = 42.1 g

Actual value = 42 g

Percentage error =?

Percentage error can be obtained by using the following formula:

Percentage error = |Measured value – Actual value | / Actual value × 100

With the above formula, we can obtain the percentage error as follow:

Measured value = 42.1 g

Actual value = 42 g

Percentage error =?

Percentage error = |42.1 – 42| / 42 × 100

Percentage error = 0.1/42 × 100

Percentage error = 10/42

Percentage error = 0.24%

Therefore, the percentage error is 0.24%

If electromagnetic radiation has a frequency of 2.0×1015s−1, what is the radiation’s energy?(1 point)
Alika [10]
  • Frequency=v=2×10^15Hz
  • Energy=E

Using planks quantum theory

\\ \sf\longmapsto E=hv

\\ \sf\longmapsto E=6.626\times 10^{-34}Js\times 2\times 10^{15}s^{-1}

\\ \sf\longmapsto E=13.252\times 10^{-19}J

\\ \sf\longmapsto E=1.3\times 10^{-18}J

k0ka [10]

Answer: Options (a) and (d) are the correct answer.

Explanation:

A catalyst is the substance which helps in increasing the rate of reaction.

Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy required by reactants to start the reaction. On addition of catalyst, the path of reaction changes because the energy barrier gap reduces and hence, the activation energy also decreases.

In the absence of catalyst, we need to increase the temperature so that reaction can occur quickly.

Whereas on addition of catalyst, there is no need to increase the temperature as the catalyst itself is sufficient to increase the rate of reaction. As a result, temperature should be lowered when there is addition of catalyst in the reaction.

Thus, we can conclude that catalysts can save money by essentially lowering the activation energy and temperature required.
