Student A performed gravimetric analysis for sulfate in her unknown using the same procedures we did . Results of her three tria

ls were 68.6%, 66.2% and 67.1% sulfate. Student B analyzed the same unknown his results were 66.7%, 66.6% and 66.5%. The unknown was sodium sulfate. Calculate a percent e rror fo r Student A and for Student B using as the accepted value the theoretical value for sulfate in sodium sulfate based on molar mass . [Y ou may use the Internet, a textbook, the Chemistry C ommunity Learning Center (CCLC) or any other resource for an explanation/description of percent error .] Which student , A or B, was more accurate? Which student was more precise? Explain your answers

Answer:

The answer is Sodium Sulfate = Na2SO4  

Explanation:

Molar mass of sulfate = 1 (S) + 4 (O) = 1 (32) + 4 (16) = 32 + 64 = 96  

Molar mass of sodium sulfate = 2 (23) + 96 = 46 + 96 = 142  

% of Sulfate = (96/142)*100 = 67.6%  

Percent mistake in Studen A,  

(I) % mistake = (67.6 - 68.6)/67.6 = 1.48  

(ii) % mistake = (67.6 - 66.2)/67.6 = 2.07  

(iii) % mistake = (67.6 - 67.1)/67.6 = 0.74  

For understudy B  

(I) % mistake = (67.6 - 66.7)/67.6 = 1.33  

(ii) % mistake = (67.6 - 66.6)/67.6 = 1.48  

(iii) % mistake = (67.6 - 66.5)/67.6 = 1.63  

Sutdent An is some how exact.  

Understudy B is exact however not precise.

When writing equations the mass on the left of the arrow must
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

When writing equation the mass on left side of equation must be equal to the mass on right side. True

Explanation:

The chemical reactions always follow the law of conservation of mass.

Law of conservation of mass:

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

Explanation:

This law was given by french chemist  Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

For example:

In photosynthesis reaction:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

there are six carbon atoms, eighteen oxygen atoms and twelve hydrogen atoms on the both side of equation so this reaction followed the law of conservation of mass because total mass is equal on both side of equation.

The equilibrium constant Kc for the reaction PCl3(g) + Cl2(g) ⇌ PCl5(g) is 49 at 230°C. If 0.70 mol of PCl3 is added to 0.70 mol
Ymorist [56]

Answer : The correct option is, (B) 0.11 M

Solution :

First we have to calculate the concentration PCl_3 and Cl_2.

\text{Concentration of }PCl_3=\frac{\text{Moles of }PCl_3}{\text{Volume of solution}}

\text{Concentration of }PCl_3=\frac{0.70moles}{1.0L}=0.70M

\text{Concentration of }Cl_2=\frac{\text{Moles of }Cl_2}{\text{Volume of solution}}

\text{Concentration of }Cl_2=\frac{0.70moles}{1.0L}=0.70M

The given equilibrium reaction is,

                            PCl_3(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons PCl_5(g)

Initially                 0.70        0.70              0

At equilibrium    (0.70-x)   (0.70-x)           x

The expression of K_c will be,

K_c=\frac{[PCl_5]}{[PCl_3][Cl_2]}

K_c=\frac{(x)}{(0.70-x)\times (0.70-x)}

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:

49=\frac{(x)}{(0.70-x)\times (0.70-x)}

By solving the term x, we get

x=0.59\text{ and }0.83

From the values of 'x' we conclude that, x = 0.83 can not more than initial concentration. So, the value of 'x' which is equal to 0.83 is not consider.

Thus, the concentration of PCl_3 at equilibrium = (0.70-x) = (0.70-0.59) = 0.11 M

The concentration of Cl_2 at equilibrium = (0.70-x) = (0.70-0.59) = 0.11 M

The concentration of PCl_5 at equilibrium = x = 0.59 M

Therefore, the concentration of PCl_3 at equilibrium is 0.11 M

Use your understanding of the ideal gas law to
PolarNik [594]

Answer:The ideal gas law is represented mathematically as: PV=nRT. P- pressure, V- volume, n-number of moles of gas, R- ideal gas constant, T- temperature.

Explanation:The ideal gas law is used as a prediction of the behavior of many gases, when subjected to different conditions.

he ideal gas law has so many limitations.

An increase in the pressure or volume, decreases the number of moles and temperature of the gas.

Empirical laws that led to generation of the ideal gas laws, considered two variables and keeping the others constant. This empirical laws include, Boyle's law, Charles's law, Gay Lusaac's law and Avogadro's law.
