Gre4nikov [31]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

\boxed{2.8 \, \%}

Explanation:

\text{Percent error} = \dfrac{\lvert \text{Measured - Actual}\lvert}{ \text{Actual}} \times100 \, \%

Data:

Predicted = 17.4 cm

     Actual = 17.9 cm

Calculation:

\text{Percent error} = \dfrac{\lvert 17.4 - 17.9\lvert}{17.9} \times 100 \, \% \\\\= \dfrac{\lvert-0.5\lvert}{17.9} \times 100 \, \% = \dfrac{0.5}{17.9} \times 100 \, \% \\\\= 0.028 \times 100 \, \% = \textbf{2.8 \%}\\\\\text{The percent error in the measurement is } \boxed{\textbf{2.8 \%}}

What would you do to change a saturated solid/liquid solution to an unsaturated solution
Semenov [28]

Explanation:

Saturated solid/liquid solution is changed to an unsaturated solution by the dilution process.

When the saturated solution is diluted by addition large quantity of solvent it changed to an unsaturated solution.

Saturated solid/liquid solution can also be changed to an unsaturated solution by increasing the temperature or heating the solution.

A saturated solution is a solution where further solute will not dissolve in the solvent.

An unsaturated solution is a solution in which has the ability to dissolve more solute.

Which of the following observations would indicate that a material is a pure substance?
Ira Lisetskai [31]
<span>The answer to the question is the option C. it cannot be physically broken down into different types of atoms. This means that the material is an element, which is a pure substance. Because an element is a pure substance that is formed by one only type of atoms. For example, gold is an element and all its atoms are of the same type. That is also true for any of the 118 elements of the periodic table. Compounds (other kind of pure substances) can be broken down into molecules (which contain different kind of atoms, but always in the same proportion) and mixtures (non pure substances) have different kind of substances.</span>
