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%

Given what you observe at the molecular/atomic level, why would surface area have this effect?
LenKa [72]

Answer:

Increasing the surface area of a reactant increases the frequency of collisions and increases the reaction rate. Several smaller particles have more surface area than one large particle. The more surface area that is available for particles to collide, the faster the reaction will occur.

The molar mass of H2O is 18.01 g/mol. The molar mass of O2 is 32.00 g/mol. What mass of H2O, in grams, must react to produce 50.
snow_lady [41]

112.5 g. The production of 50.00 g O2 requires 112.5 g H2O.

a) Write the partially balanced equation for the decomposition of water.

MM = 18.02 32.00

2H2O → O2 + …

Mass/g = 50.00


b) Calculate the <em>moles of O2
</em>

Moles of O2 = 50.00 g O2 × (1 mol O2/16.00 g O2) = 3.1250 mol O2


c) Calculate the <em>moles of water</em>

Moles of H2O = 3.1250 mol O2 × (2 mol H2O/1 mol O2)

= 6.2500 mol H2O


d) Calculate the mass of water

Mass of H2O = 6.2500 mol H2O × (18.02 g H2O/1 mol H2O)

= 112.5 g H2O
