A few Sources of error in saponification experiment ?

Chemistry
1 answer:
garri49 [273]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Saponification is a process of mixing triglycerides with potassium hydroxide (lye) in order to produce fatty acid and glycerol also known as soap.

During this experiment, many errors can occurs which are following;

  • Incorrect measurement of both the salts that combine to form soap.
  • The beaker and the stirrer has residue of some other chemical that gets mixed with two components and reacts.
  • The two products are not mixed well or not long enough to reach the end product.
  • The temperature is not favorable.
  • The resting period is not calculated properly

I hope the answer is helpful.

A bullet has a momentum of 3.2 kg*m/s. What is its mass if it is traveling at 762 m/s
Stells [14]
Momentum is the product of the mass of a given body and its velocity therefore a body at rest has zero momentum.
Mathematically; momentum = velocity (in m/s) × mass (in kilograms)
     therefore, reversing the formula:
mass will be given by the momentum divided by the velocity of the body
thus; 
                3.2 kg*m/s ÷ 762 m/s =0.0041995 kg
which is approximately 0.0042 kg (4 decimal places) or 4.2 grams (1000 g =
1 kg).

Why is oxygen heavier than air?
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

Oxygen is denser

Explanation:

Oxygen is denser than both air and nitrogen, at all temperatures and pressures, but only slightly. Since they don't separate from each other, we generally don't worry which is lighter or heavier. The difference in the density of nitrogen and oxygen gas comes from their molecular weight, which is small (4 g/mol)

Here are approximately 15 milliliters (mL) in 1 tablespoon (tbsp).
jolli1 [7]
<span>If there are 15 mL in 1 tablespoon, then 3 tablespoons should have triple the volume as originally stated.
   Note in all of the four choices, the units simplify to mL because tbsp x ml/tbsp = mL (tbsp/tbsp = 1)
   The second and third choice give ultimately the same, incorrect value. The fourth option gives an incorrect fraction - there are not 15 mL for every tablespoon. The correct answer is 1 tbsp x 15mL/3tbsp</span>

Calculate the pH during the titration of 20.00 mL of 0.1000 M HNO2(aq) with 0.1000 M KOH(aq) after 13.27 mL of the base have bee
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

pH = 2.462.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the reaction between nitrous acid and potassium hydroxide:

HNO_2+KOH\rightarrow KNO_2+H_2O

It is possible to compute the moles of each reactant given their concentrations and volumes:

n_{HNO_2}=0.02000L*0.1000mol/L=2.000x10^{-3}mol\\\\n_{KOH}=0.1000mol/L*0.01327L=1.327x10^{-3}mol

Thus, the resulting moles of nitrous acid after the reaction are:

n_{HNO_2}=2.000x10^{-3}mol-1.327x10^{-3}mol=6.73x10^{-4}mol

So the resulting concentration considering the final volume (20.00mL+13.27mL) is:

[HNO_2]=\frac{6.73x10^{-4}mol}{0.01327L+0.02000L} =0.02023M

In such a way, we can write the ionization of this weak acid to obtain:

HNO_2+H_2O\rightleftharpoons NO_2^-+H_3O^+

So we can set up its equilibrium expression to obtain x as the concentration of H3O+:

Ka=\frac{[NO_2^-][H_3O^+]}{[HNO_2]}\\\\7.1x10^{-4}=\frac{x^2}{0.02023M-x}

Next, by solving for the two roots of x, we get:

x_1=-0.004161M\\\\x_2=0.003451M

Whereas the correct value is 0.003451 M. Finally, we compute the resulting pH:

pH=-log(0.003451)\\\\pH=2.462

Best regards!
