Answer:

17.6% is the percentage error

Explanation:

The percentage error is used to determine accuracy of a measurement (That is, how closely is the measure to the real or theoretical value). The equation is:

|Measure - Real| / Real * 100

In the problem, the measure was 22.7cm³ and real value is 19.3cm³. Solving for percentage error:

|22.7cm³ - 19.3cm³| / 19.3cm³ × 100

<h3>17.6% is the percentage error</h3>

1a. A spring takes a force of 5.ON to extend it by 2.0cm. What is the spring
Angelina_Jolie [31]
Spring force is given be kx.

Where k is spring constant and x is the distance moved.

Using this relation,

5N  = k(2 \times  {10}^{ - 2}m ) \\  \\ k = 250N {m}^{ - 1}

Calculate the percent composition by mass of each element in Al(OH)3. Use at least three significant figures.
allsm [11]

Answer:

34.59 % Al; 61.54 % O; 3.877 % H

Explanation:

% by mass = mass of element/total mass × 100 %

Let's rewrite the formula of Al(OH)₃ as AlO₃H₃.

Set up a table for easy calculation.

<u>Atom</u>  <u>  Mass/u   </u>   <u>Subtotal </u>

1Al     1 × 26.98   = 26.98   u

3O     3 ×  16.00  =  48.00   u

3H     3 ×    1.008 = <u>  3.024 u </u>

                   Total = 78.004 u

Mass % Al = 26.98/78.004   × 100 % = 34.59   %

Mass % O = 48.00/78.004   × 100 % =  61.54   %

Mass % H =    3.024/78.004 × 100 % =   3.877 %
