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:

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

Problem: In each of the following situations, what type of filtration device would you use?

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

A. Filtration by gravity

B. Syringe filter

C. Syringe filter

D. Filtration by gravity

E. Syringe filter

F. Filtration by gravity / Vacuum filtration.

Explanation:

Filtration is a mixture of separation techniques to separate solids from liquids. The filtration can be done by gravity, by pressure or by vacuum. The correct filtration is chosen by the characteristics of the mixture.

A. The particles are big, so it's possible to use a funnel and a filter paper with the right numeration (the diameter of the pores must be smaller than the particles). The filtration will happen by gravitation.

B. Because the volume is too small (1 mL), it can be used as a syringe filter, a small device in which the solution is put in the syringe, and then, by pressure, the solution goes from the filter. Thus, the filtration is done by pressure.

C. As letter B, the small volume indicates a pressure filtration by a syringe filter.

D. In this case, such as letter A, it's possible to use gravitation filtration.

E. Because of the volume is too small, such as letters B and C, the pressure filtration by a syringe filter is more indicate.

F. In this case, the filtration can be done by gravitation, and a vacuum can be added to accelerate it because is a small volume with solid impurities.

Octane C8H18 is an ingredient in gasoline. How many carbon atoms are in 20 kg of octane? help please

eduard

Answer:

Octane is a hydrocarbon and an alkane with the chemical formula C 8 H 18, and the condensed structural formula CH 3 (CH 2) 6 CH 3.Octane has many structural isomers that differ by the amount and location of branching in the carbon chain. One of these isomers, 2,2,4-trimethylpentane (commonly called iso-octane) is used as one of the standard values in the octane rating scale.

Chemical formula: C₈H₁₈

Molar mass: 114.232 g·mol−1

Melting point: −57.1 to −56.6 °C; −70.9 to −69.8 °F; 216.0 to 216.6 K

Solubility in water: 0.007 mg dm−3 (at 20 °C)

How many chlorine atoms are found in 8.3 moles of chlorine?

erik [133]

Answer:

5*10²⁴ chlorine atoms are found in 8.3 moles of chlorine.

Explanation:

Avogadro's Number or Avogadro's Constant is called the number of particles that make up a substance (usually atoms or molecules) and that can be found in the amount of one mole of said substance. Its value is 6.023*10²³ particles per mole. Avogadro's number represents a quantity without an associated physical dimension, so it is considered a pure number that allows describing a physical characteristic without an explicit dimension or unit of expression. Avogadro's number applies to any substance.

Then you can apply the following rule of three: if 1 mole of the compound contains 6.023 * 10²³ atoms, 8.3 moles of the compound how many atoms does it have?

$amount of atoms=\frac{8.3 moles*6.023*10^{23}atoms }{1 mole}$

amount of atoms≅ 5*10²⁴ atoms

<u><em>5*10²⁴ chlorine atoms are found in 8.3 moles of chlorine.</em></u>
