Explain how the following experimental errors affect the final calculation of the kilocalories per gram for a food item. Be spec

ific as to whether the final value will be higher or lower than if the error had not been made.
a. The student misread the scale and recorded 110.3 g for the final mass of the soda can plus water instead of 101.3 g.
b. Part of the unburned marshmallow fell off before the final mass was determined.
c. The food would not keep burning and had to be relit several times.
d. The thermometer got stuck in the aluminum foil while the food was burning and the final temperature was made with the thermometer in the air above the water and not in the water.

Answer:

a) the final kilocalories per gram for food will be less because the mass was reduced

b)the final kilocalories per gram for food will be less since

c) the final kilocalories per gram for food will be less since the reaction will eventually go to completion

d) the final kilocalories per gram for food will be more.

Explanation:

a) the final kilocalories per gram for food will be less because the mass was reduced from 110.3 to 101.3g

b)the final kilocalories per gram for food will be less since some marshmallow fell off before the reaction

c) the final kilocalories per gram for food will be less since the reaction will eventually go to completion

d) the final kilocalories per gram for food will be more since the thermometer that got stuck will add to the value of final kilocalories per gram

Use a chemical equation to show how aqueous hno3 fits the definition of an acid
Lunna [17]
An acid has several definitions one would be that it is a proton donor and an electron donor. Also, it said to produce an H+ ion when in solution. For nitric acid in solution, it dissociates into ions which are NO- ions and H+ ions. So, it must be an acid. It has a dissociation reaction:

HNO3 = H+ + NO3-

Conservation of mass was discussed in the background. Describe how conservation of mass (actual, not theoretical) could be check
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

Conservation of mass can be checked in an experiment . There are three steps to do it in a best way:

1. Weigh all the equipment and materials required in the experiment before the experiment.

2. Avoid spillage and evaporation during the experiment.

3. Weigh all the equipment and materials after the experiment.

If the mass is conserved then weight from step 1 is equal to weight from step

What is the splitting of the signal in the 1H NMR spectrum for the methyl protons of 1-bromo-2-methylpropane?
Arada [10]

Answer:

doublet

Explanation:

Proton MNR is used for the determination of no. of equivalents protons in a molecule

In the molecule, single NMR signal is produced for each set of protons.

Signal splitting is called spin-spin coupling and the splitting of signals depends upon the no. of neighboring proton.

The no. of signal for a proton is equal to n+1, where n is neighboring protons.

In 1-bromo-2-methylpropane, neighboring proton for both methyl protons are one. But the chemical environment of both the methyl protons are different.

Neighboring proton for methyl protons = 1

No. of signal for methyl protons = 1+1 =2

Hence, two doublets will be generated for each set of methyl protons. protons.

Why do metals bend and not break?
Nookie1986 [14]
Metals are malleable - they can be bent and shaped. This is because they consist of layers of atoms. These layers can slide over one another when the metal is bent, hammered or pressed.
