Using the significant figure it would be 27.3
The variable is what changes during an experiment. Hopefully this helped! :)
Answer:
One of the errors for low percentage of magnesium could be because not all the magnesium may have reacted.
Explanation:
During the heating process, if the magnesium have not reacted completely, it can lead to low percentage of magnesium in the oxide formed. The product may still look a bit greyish rather than whitish after the heating process.
1) Calcium carbonate contains 40.0% calcium by weight.
M(CaCO₃)=100.1 g/mol
M(Ca)=40.1 g/mol
w(Ca)=40.1/100.1=0.400 (40.0%)!
2) Mass fraction of this is excessive data.
3) The solution is:
m(Ca)=1.2 g
m(CaCO₃)=M(CaCO₃)*m(Ca)/M(Ca)
m(CaCO₃)=100.1g/mol*1.2g/40.1g/mol=3.0 g
