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

While working near a radioactive mine, workers usually wear heavy plastic suits. These suits protect them from all but
Vaselesa [24]
The appropriate response is gamma radiation. Alpha particles can be halted via air. UV radiation can be halted by a typical layer of clothing.Beta particles can be ceased by the thick plastic suit. Just gamma radiation can enter the substantial suit. It must be halted by thick dividers of lead or cement.

How are electrons excited in element?
sineoko [7]

Answer:

By absorbing energy electron is jump into higher energy level. This is called excitation.

Explanation:

The electron is jumped into higher level and back into lower level by absorbing and releasing the energy.

The process is called excitation and de-excitation.

Excitation:

When the energy is provided to the atom the electrons by absorbing the energy jump to the higher energy levels. This process is called excitation. The amount of energy absorbed by the electron is exactly equal to the energy difference of orbits.  For example if electron jumped from K to L it must absorbed the energy which is equal the energy difference of these two level. The excited electron thus move back to lower energy level which is K by releasing the energy.

De-excitation:

When the excited electron fall back to the lower energy levels the energy is released in the form of radiations. this energy is exactly equal to the energy difference between the orbits. The characteristics bright colors are due to the these emitted radiations. These emitted radiations can be seen if they are fall in the visible region of spectrum.

Distillation is a method that depends on differences in the boiling points of liquids to separate the components of a liquid mix
ryzh [129]

Explanation:

for immiscible liquids it is quite easy to separate and the separating funnel can be used but for miscible liquid they form a single entity and separating them is quite impossible if the differences in temperature is not considered,so in distillation the one with lower boiling point evaporates out living behind the one with high boiling point
