A 118-ml flask is evacuated and found to have a mass of 97.129 g. when the flask is filled with 768 torr of helium gas at 35 ?c,

it is found to have a mass of 97.171 g.

The full question asks to decide whether the gas was a specific gas. That part is missing in your question. You need to decide whether the gas in the flask is pure helium.

To decide it you can find the molar mass of the gas in the flask, using the ideal gas equation pV = nRT, and then compare with the molar mass of the He.

From pV = nRT you can find n, after that using the mass of gass in the flask you use MM = mass/moles.

1) From pV = nRT, n = pV / RT

Data:
V = 118 ml = 0.118 liter
R = 0.082 atm*liter/mol*K
p = 768 torr * 1 atm / 760 torr = 1.0105 atm
T = 35 + 273.15 = 308.15 K

n = 1.015 atm * 0.118 liter / [ 0.082 atm*liter/K*mol  * 308.15K] =0.00472 mol

mass of gas = mass of the fask with the gas - mass of the flasl evacuated = 97.171 g - 97.129 g = 0.042

=> MM =  mass/n = 0.042 / 0.00472 = 8.90 g/mol

Now from a periodic table or a table you get that the molar mass of He is 4g/mol

So the numbers say that this gas is not pure helium , because its molar mass is more than double of the molar mass of helium gas.

A piece of wood has a labeled length value of 63.2 cm. You measure its length three times and record the following data: 63.1 cm
Ulleksa [173]

Percent error (%)= \frac{\left | Accepted value - Measured value \right |}{Accepted value}\times 100

Accepted value is true value.

Measured values is calculated value.

In the question given Accepted value (true value) = 63.2 cm

Given Measured(calculated values) = 63.1 cm , 63.0 cm , 63.7 cm

1) Percent error (%) for first measurement.

Accepted value (true value) = 63.2 cm, Measured(calculated values) = 63.1 cm

Percent error (%)= \frac{\left | Accepted value - Measured value \right |}{Accepted value}\times 100

Percent error = \frac{\left | 63.2 - 63.1 \right |}{63.2}\times 100

Percent error = \frac{0.1}{63.2}\times 100

Percent error = 0.00158\times 100

Percent error = 0.158 %

2) Percent error (%) for second measurement.

Accepted value (true value) = 63.2 cm, Measured(calculated values) = 63.0 cm

Percent error (%)= \frac{\left | Accepted value - Measured value \right |}{Accepted value}\times 100

Percent error = \frac{\left | 63.2 - 63.0 \right |}{63.2}\times 100

Percent error = \frac{0.2}{63.2}\times 100

Percent error = 0.00316\times 100

Percent error = 0.316 %

3) Percent error (%) for third measurement.

Accepted value (true value) = 63.2 cm, Measured(calculated values) = 63.7 cm

Percent error (%)= \frac{\left | Accepted value - Measured value \right |}{Accepted value}\times 100

Percent error = \frac{\left | 63.2 - 63.7 \right |}{63.2}\times 100

Percent error = \frac{\left | -0.5 \right |}{63.2}\times 100

Percent error = \frac{(0.5)}{63.2}\times 100

Percent error = 0.00791\times 100

Percent error = 0.791 %

Percent error for each measurement is :

63.1 cm = 0.158%

63.0 cm = 0.316%

63.7 cm = 0.791%
