Examples of accurate but imprecise measurements

1 answer:

8 0

Accuracy is how close a value is to its true value. An example is how close an arrow gets to the bull's-eye center. Precision is how repeatable a measurement is. An example is how close a second arrow is to the first one (regardless of whether either is near the mark).

Calculate the molecular (formula) mass of each compound: (a) iron(ll) acetate tetrahydrate; (b) sulfur tetrachloride; (c) potass

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

a) Iron(ll) acetate tetrahydrate: 245,68 g/mol

b) Sulfur tetrachloride: 173,87 g/mol

c) Potassium ermanganate 158,034 g/mol

Explanation:

To solve this kind of exercises you must look for the number of atoms in each molecule first, then look on the periodic table the atom weight and the multiply the atom weight times the quantity of each atom. For instance:

The molecule of Iron(II) acetate itetrahydrate is (CH3COO)2Fe•4H2O, it means that you have:

2 atoms of carbon times the atomic weight of C (12.00g/mol)= 24g

14 atoms of Hidrogen times the atomic weight of H (1,00g/mol)= 14g

6 atoms of Oxigen times the atomic weight of O (16,0g/mol)= 96

2 atoms of Iron times the atomic weight of Fe (55,84g/mol)= 111,68g

At last, you only have to add the results: 24+14+96+11,68= 245,68g/mol. This example was for the first molecule.

if the lightbulb receives 100 J of electrical energy, and gives off 75 energy, how much heat (thermal energy away from the light

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

Amount of heat energy released by light bulb = 25 joules

Explanation:

Given:

Energy receive by light bulb = 100 Joules

Energy released by light bulb as light energy = 75 Joules

Find:

Amount of heat energy released by light bulb

Computation:

We know that, energy is neither be created nor destroys

So,

Using Law of conservation of energy

Energy receive by light bulb = Energy released by light bulb as light energy + Amount of heat energy released by light bulb

100 = 75 + Amount of heat energy released by light bulb

Amount of heat energy released by light bulb = 100 - 75

Amount of heat energy released by light bulb = 25 joules

Part 1. A chemist reacted 18.0 liters of F2 gas with NaCl in the laboratory to form Cl2 gas and NaF. Use the ideal gas law equat

Alika [10]

Answer:

Part 1

The mass of the NaCl that reacted with F₂ at 290.K and 1.5 atm is approximately 132.6 gams

Part 2

The mass of NaCl that can react with the same volume of gas at STP is approximately 93.77 grams

Explanation:

Part 1

The volume of F₂ gas in the reaction, V = 18.0 liters

The ideal gas equation is P·V = n·R·T

∴ n = P·V/(R·T)

The pressure, P = 1.5 atm

The temperature, T = 290 K

The universal gas constant, R = 0.0820573 L·atm/(mol·K)

∴ n = 1.5×18/(0.0820573 × 290) ≈ 1.134615

The number of moles of F₂ in the reaction n ≈ 1.134615 moles

The chemical reaction is given as follows;

F₂ + 2NaCl → Cl₂ + 2NaF

1 mole of F₂ reacts with 2 moles of NaCl

Therefore;

1.134615 moles of F₂ reacted with 2 × 1.134615 moles ≈ 2.26923 moles of NaCl

1 mole of NaCl = The molar mass of NaCl, MM = 58.44 g/mol

The mass, of 2.26923 moles of NaCl, m = Number of moles × MM

∴ m ≈ 2.26923 moles × 58.44 g/mol ≈ 132.6 grams

The mass of the NaCl ≈ 132.6 gams

Part 2

The volume occupied by 1 mole of all gases at STP = 22.4 l/mole

Therefore, the number of moles of F₂ in 18.0 L of F₂ = 18.0 L/(22.4 L/mole) ≈ 0.804 moles

Therefore;

The number of moles of NaCl, in the reaction n = 2 × The number of moles of F₂ ≈ 2×0.804 moles = 1.608 moles

The number of moles of NaCl, in the reaction n ≈ 1.608 moles

The mass of NaCl in the reaction, m = n × MM

∴ m ≈ 1.608 moles × 58.44 g/mol ≈ 93.97 grams

The mass of NaCl that can react with the same volume of gas at STP ≈ 93.77 grams
