The chemical symbol of an element is determined by the language used to abbreviate the element. Most chemical symbols use abbreviations of the English name for the element, such as "O" for oxygen, "H" for hydrogen or "Ar" for argon.

salantis [7]

Answer:

Percent error = 20%

Explanation:

The percent error is calculated using the following equation:

Percent error = |(approximate value - exact value)| / (exact value) x 100%

In this problem, the approximate value was 184 mL and the exact value was 230.0 mL

Percent error = |(184 mL - 230.0 mL)| / (230.0 mL) x 100% = 20%

Alyssa is trying to balance the following equation: Pb(OH)2 + 2H2SO4 => PbSO4 + 2H20 What number should be used to replace th
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

2 Pb(OH)2 + 2H2SO4 => 2 PbSO4 + 4 H20

Explanation:

Since there's no "?" shown in the equation, let's balance it and solve it entirely.

Pb(OH)2 + 2H2SO4 => PbSO4 + 2H20

1Pb + 10O + 6H + 2S ≠ 1Pb + 6O + 4H + 1S → it needs to be balanced.

To do this, let's start by looking at the elements that are only presnet once on each side:

On the products half, S is only present in PbSO4 → if we look at the reagents half, we can see it needs a "2" → then Pb is multiplied by 2 too → so Pb(OH)2 on the reagents half will also need a "2" → final count on O and H on the reagents side: 12O and 8H  → to balance it, you need 4 water molecules on the products side.
