The melting point of potassium thiocyanate determined by a student in the laboratory turned out to be 174.5 oC. The accepted val

Answer:

0.75%

Explanation:

Measured value of melting point of potassium thiocyanate = 174.5 °C

Actual value of melting point of potassium thiocyanate = 173.2 °C

<em>Error in the reading = |Experimental value - Theoretical value|</em>

<em>= |174.5 - 173.2|</em>

<em>= |1.3|</em>

<em>Percentage error = (Error / Theoretical value) × 100</em>

<em>= (1.3 / 173.2)×100</em>

<em>= 0.75 %</em>

∴ Percentage error in the reading is 0.75%

The coefficient of cubical expansion of a substance depends upon
zzz [600]
<span>I think that the coefficient of cubical expansion of a substance depends on THE CHANGE IN VOLUME.

Cubical expansion, also known as, volumetric expansion has the following formula:

</span>Δ V = β V₁ ΔT

V₁ = initial volume of the body
ΔT = change in temperature of the body
β = coefficient of volumetric expansion.

β is defined as the <span>increase in volume per unit original volume per Kelvin rise in temperature.
</span>
With the above definition, it is safe to assume that the <span>coefficient of cubical expansion of a substance depends on the change in volume, which also changes in response to the change in temperature. </span>

1. Which of the following statements best describes matter?
Rashid [163]

Answer:

Matter is anything that has mass

Explanation:

The word "matter" refers to anything that has mass, either organic or inorganic. Matter is made up of atoms, which consists of a nucleus (made up of protons, positively charged, and neutrons, electrically neutron) and electrons which revolve around the nucleus.

The number of protons in the atom determine the element: there are more than 100 different elements in nature, with different properties depending on the number of electrons they have.

Matter can be in three different states also:

- solid: the atoms are tightly bond to each other, so they cannot move

- liquids: atoms are not bond to each other, so they can slide past each other, but still they have some intermolecular forces that keep them close to each other

- gas: atoms are free to move, as there are no forces that keep them close to each other

the pygmy shrew has an average mass of 2.0 g if 49 of these shrew are placed on a spring scale with a spring constant of 24 N/m
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

Spring's displacement, x = -0.04 meters.

Explanation:

Let the spring's displacement be x.

Given the following data;

Mass of each shrew, m = 2.0 g to kilograms = 2/1000 = 0.002 kg

Number of shrews, n = 49

Spring constant, k = 24 N/m

We know that acceleration due to gravity, g is equal to 9.8 m/s².

To find the spring's displacement;

At equilibrium position:

Fnet = Felastic + Fg = 0

But, Felastic = -kx

Total mass, Mt = nm

Fg = -Mt = -nmg

-kx -nmg = 0

Rearranging, we have;

kx = -nmg

Making x the subject of formula, we have;

x = \frac {-nmg}{k}

Substituting into the formula, we have;

x = \frac {-49*0.002*9.8}{24}

x = \frac {-0.9604}{24}

x = -0.04 m

Therefore, the spring's displacement is -0.04 meters.
