Percent error (%)= \frac{\left | Accepted value - Measured value \right |}{Accepted value}\times 100

Accepted value is true value.

Measured values is calculated value.

In the question given Accepted value (true value) = 63.2 cm

Given Measured(calculated values) = 63.1 cm , 63.0 cm , 63.7 cm

1) Percent error (%) for first measurement.

Accepted value (true value) = 63.2 cm, Measured(calculated values) = 63.1 cm

Percent error (%)= \frac{\left | Accepted value - Measured value \right |}{Accepted value}\times 100

Percent error = \frac{\left | 63.2 - 63.1 \right |}{63.2}\times 100

Percent error = \frac{0.1}{63.2}\times 100

Percent error = 0.00158\times 100

Percent error = 0.158 %

2) Percent error (%) for second measurement.

Accepted value (true value) = 63.2 cm, Measured(calculated values) = 63.0 cm

Percent error (%)= \frac{\left | Accepted value - Measured value \right |}{Accepted value}\times 100

Percent error = \frac{\left | 63.2 - 63.0 \right |}{63.2}\times 100

Percent error = \frac{0.2}{63.2}\times 100

Percent error = 0.00316\times 100

Percent error = 0.316 %

3) Percent error (%) for third measurement.

Accepted value (true value) = 63.2 cm, Measured(calculated values) = 63.7 cm

Percent error (%)= \frac{\left | Accepted value - Measured value \right |}{Accepted value}\times 100

Percent error = \frac{\left | 63.2 - 63.7 \right |}{63.2}\times 100

Percent error = \frac{\left | -0.5 \right |}{63.2}\times 100

Percent error = \frac{(0.5)}{63.2}\times 100

Percent error = 0.00791\times 100

Percent error = 0.791 %

Percent error for each measurement is :

63.1 cm = 0.158%

63.0 cm = 0.316%

63.7 cm = 0.791%

Help me out please!!

Answer:6.48*10^{-2}

Explanation:

alright, dawg, lets get this bread. CHEMISTRY? OH YEAH I LOVE CHEMISTRY.

what is a mol? do you know who avogadro is? sounds like avocado. free shavocado. ok so you MUST REMEMBER THIS NUMBER PLEASE.

please remember this number and commit it to your memory: avogadros number

6.02 * 10^{23}

this is how much a mole is. you know how a pair is 2 and a dozen is 12? ok so a mole is 6.02 * 10^{23} it is confusing at first but hopefully this helps you to understand.

now that we understand this..... lets perform this calculation with a calculator

(3.90 * 10^{22}) / (6.02 * 10^{23})

notice i divide the question by the avogadros number to find out how many moles are in the number. ok but listen... it gets into a tough area here... because HOW ARE WE TO DIVIDE SUCH A HUMONGOUS NUMBER BY ANOTHER HUMONGOUS NUMBER?!?!?

its easy, its cake, just listen this is how you do it. only focus on the numbers NOT the 10 exponential ones. so just 3.90 and 6.02 ok? lets divide these two numbers 3.90 / 6.02 and we get 0.6478... how interesting... ok now lets deal with the exponents of 10. notice that we are DIVIDING these numbers so think of it as subtracting the exponents of ten.....    22 minus 23 equals -1

so we have 0.6478 * 10^{-1}

now this negative 1 thing is annoying so lets just make it to the power of 0

0.06478 * 10^{0}

and anything to the power of 0 just becomes 1.

0.06478

so this is our answer but keep in mind we need 3 sig figs. if we round then we get 0.0648

put this into scientific notation we get 6.48*10^{-2}
