Answer:

We have the final answer as

<h2>7.14 %</h2>

Explanation:

The percentage error of a certain measurement can be found by using the formula

P(\%) =  \frac{error}{actual \:  \: number}  \times 100\% \\

From the question

actual density = 5.6 g/mL

error = 5.6 - 5.2 = 0.4

The percentage error is

P(\%) =  \frac{0.4}{5.6}  \times 100 \\  = 7.142857...

We have the final answer as

<h3>7.14 %</h3>

Hope this helps you

05. When a gold pebble is placed in a graduated cylinder that contains 12.0 mL of water, the water level rises
OLga [1]

Answer:

142.82 g

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Volume of water = 12 mL

Volume of water + gold = 19.4 mL

Density of gol= 19.3 g/cm³

Mass of gold =.?

Next, we shall determine the volume of the gold. This can be obtained as follow:

Volume of water = 12 mL

Volume of water + gold = 19.4 mL

Volume of gold =.?

Volume of gold = (Volume of water + gold) – (Volume of water)

Volume of gold = 19.4 – 12

Volume of gold = 7.4 mL

Finally, we shall determine the mass of the gold as follow:

Note: 1 mL is equivalent to 1 cm³

Volume of gold = 7.4 mL

Density of gol= 19.3 g/cm³ = 19.3 g/mL

Mass of gold =?

Density = mass /volume

19.3 = mass of gold /7.4

Cross multiply

Mass of gold = 19.3 × 7.4

Mass of gold = 142.82 g

Therefore, the mass of the gold pebble is 142.82 g

AGO H2SO4 (aq) Al(SO4)3(aq) H28) fe Cl218) FeCl38<br>​
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

2Al + 3H2SO4 → Al2(SO4)3 + 3H2

2Fe + 3Cl2 → 2FeCl3

Explanation:

1. (SO4) 3 you see this 3 it means that 3 must be behind H2SO4. So now it's 3H2SO4.

2. If 3 is now behind one H2, it must be behind the other.

So now it's 3H2.

3. Al2 (SO4) 3 has 2 ahead of Al which means there will be 2Al in the reactants.

1. FeCl3 has 3 ahead of Cl, and Cl2 has 2. Which means that behind FeCl3 goes 2, and behind Cl2 goes 3 so now we have equated all Cl.

2. Since it is now 2FeCl3, we know that there must be 2 in the second Fe. It's 2Fe now.

Green light has a wavelength of 550nm. What is the frequency of a photon of green light?
Vikki [24]

Answer:- Frequency is 5.4*10^1^4Hz .

Solution:- frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional to each other and the equation used is:

\nu =\frac{c}{\lambda }

where, \nu is frequency, c is speed of light and \lambda is the wavelength.

Speed of light is 3.0*10^8m/s .

We need to convert the wavelength from nm to m.

( 1nm=10^-^9m )

550nm(\frac{10^-^9m}{1nm})

= 5.5*10^-^7m

Now, let's plug in the values in the equation to calculate the frequency:

\nu =\frac{3.0*10^8m.s^-^1}{5.5*10^-^7m}

= 5.4*10^1^4s^-^1 or 5.4*10^1^4Hz

since, 1s^-^1=1Hz

So, the frequency of the green light photon is 5.4*10^1^4Hz .

Predict whether the equilibria I) CH4(g) + H2O(g) ⇀↽ CO(g) + 3 H2(g), ∆H◦ = +206 kJ II) 2 SO2(g) + O2 ⇀↽ 2 SO3(g), ∆H◦ = −198 kJ
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

(1) I shifts toward product and II shifts toward reactant.

Explanation:

Increasing the temperature of an endothermic reaction (∆H is positive) shifts the equilibrium position to the right thus favoring product formation.

Increasing the temperature of an exothermic reaction (∆H is negative) shifts the equilibrium position to the left thus favoring the backward reaction.
