Calculate the percent errorin a length measurementof 4.45cm if the correct value is 4.06

Chemistry
1 answer:
FinnZ [79.3K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

9.6 %

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: How to define  percent error ? </u>

⇒ % error is the difference between a measured value and the known or accepted value

⇒Percent error is calculated using the following formula:

⇒%error  =  | Experimental value-theoretical value/theoretical value |  x100%

⇔ this can be written as well as : error = (| Experimental value/ theoretical value | - | Theoretical value / Theoretical value | ) x100%

<u>Step 2: Calculate % error</u>

In this case, this means :

%error = ( |(4.45 cm - 4.06cm ) / 4.06cm | ) x100%

%error = 0.096 x100%

%error =9.6 %

The graph given below shows the motion of four runners P, Q, R, and S in a 5 km marathon.
wel

Answer:-

As we can see from the graphical data,

The distance covered by all the four runners is the same 5 km.

Among the four athletes, Athlete P covers the distance in under three hours.

It is the minimum time taken among the four athletes.

Thus Athlete P covers the 5 km distance in the minimum amount of time.

We know that speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}

Since time taken for P is minimum, his speed is the maximum. P ran the fastest.

Time taken by Q = 4.5 hours.

Speed of Q = \frac{Distance}{Time taken by Q}

                     = \frac{5km}{4.5hour}

                    = 1.1 km/ hr

Time taken by R = 6 hours.

Speed of R = \frac{Distance}{Time taken by R}

                     = \frac{5km}{6hour}

                    = 0.8 km/ hr

What is the value for ∆Soreaction for the following reaction, given the standard entropy values?
Soloha48 [4]
To get the ∆S of the reaction, we simply have to add the ∆S of the reactants and the ∆S of the products. Then, we get the difference between the ∆S of the products and the ∆S of the products. If the <span>∆S is negative, then the reaction spontaneous. If the otherwise, the reaction is not spontaneous.</span>

A 0.610 m aqueous solution of kbr has a total mass of 75.0 g. what masses of solute and solvent are present?
Drupady [299]
To determine the masses of each component, we need to know the concentration first in terms of molality which is mol per mass of solution. Assuming the density of the solution is equal to that of water we would find:

molality = 0.160 mol KBr / L ( 1 L / 1 kg solution ) = 0.160 mol KBr / kg solution

mass KBr = 0.160 mol KBr / kg solution (.0750 kg solution ) ( 119 g KBr / mol KBr ) = 1.428 g KBr

mass solvent = 75 - 1.428 = 73.572 g water
