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>

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

\boxed{\text{2.6 kPa}}

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we can use the Combined Gas Laws:

\dfrac{p_{1}V_{1} }{T_{1}} = \dfrac{p_{2}V_{2} }{T_{2}}

Data:

p₁ = 1.7 kPa; V₁ = 7.5 m³;  T₁ =   -10 °C

p₂ = ?;          V₂ = 3.8 m³; T₂ = 200  K

Calculations:

(a) Convert temperature to kelvins

T₁ = (-10   + 273.15) K = 263.15 K

(b) Calculate the pressure

\begin{array}{rcl}\dfrac{1.7 \times 7.5 }{263.15} & = & \dfrac{p_{2} \times 3.8}{200}\\\\0.0485 & = & 0.0190p_{2}\\p_{2} & = & \textbf{2.6 kPa}\\\end{array}\\\text{The new pressure of the gas is \boxed{\textbf{2.6 kPa}}}

Which carboxylic acid is used to prepare the ester shown?
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

The general equation for the reaction of a carboxylic acid with an alkanol to form an ester is shown below;

RCOOH + ROH ------> RCOOR + H2O

Hence; the reactant carboxylic acid can only be the compound (CH3)2-CH-CH2-COOH in accordance with the general reaction equation shown above.

Hence the reaction is;

(CH3)2-CH-CH2-COOH + CH3-CH2OH -------> CH3CH2 OCO-CH2-CH-(CH3)2
