Answer:

1.59%.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Measured density = 1.92 g/mL

Accepted density = 1.89 g/mL

Percentage error =...?

The percentage error error of the student can be obtained as follow:

Percentage error = |Measured density – Accepted density |/Accepted density × 100

Percentage error = |1.92 – 1.89|/1.89 × 100

Percentage error = 0.03/1.89 × 100

Percentage error = 1.59%

Therefore, the student percentage error is 1.59%

HgS + O2 → HgO + SO2
Igoryamba

Answer:

2HgS + 3O2 → 2HgO + 2SO2

The coefficients are: 2, 3, 2, 2

Explanation:

HgS + O2 → HgO + SO2

The equation can be balance as follow:

Put 3 in front of O2 as shown below:

HgS + 3O2 → HgO + SO2

Now we can see that there are 6 atoms of O on the left side of the equation and a total of 3 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of HgO and SO2 as shown below:

HgS + 3O2 → 2HgO + 2SO2

Now we have 2 atoms of both Hg and S on the right side and 1atom each on the left. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of HgS as shown below:

2HgS + 3O2 → 2HgO + 2SO2

Now the equation is balanced.

The coefficients are: 2, 3, 2, 2

The law of conservation of mass(matter) states that matter(mass) can neither be created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction but changes from one form to another. An unbalanced equation suggests that matter has been created or destroyed. While a balanced equation proofs that matter can never be created but changes to different form. This is the more reason we have count the atoms of an element on both side of the equation to see if they are balanced irrespective of the new form they assume in the product

How are energy and work related? A. Energy is the force needed to do work B. Work times energy is force C. Energy is the capacit
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

I believe the answer is A

Explanation:

Work and energy are related because when you work, you cause displacement in the object you are exerting upon. While this happens, you transfer energy between the systems. Both work and energy share the same SI unit, called the joule.

How many molecules are in 4.50 moles of H2O?
alisha [4.7K]
C can be the only correct answer - 6.023 x 10^23 is the amount of molecules in a mol of an element. 4.5 x 6.023 x 10^23 can not equal anything but C.

4.5 x 6.023 x 10^23 = 2.71035 x 10^24
