Answer:

Percent error = 2.8

Explanation:

Given data;

Actual value = 17.9 cm

Measured value = 17.4 cm

Percent error = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Percent error = [actual value - measured value / actual value] × 100

Now we will put the values in formula:

Percent error = [17.9 cm - 17.4 cm / 17.9 cm] × 100

Percent error = [0.5 cm /17.9 cm] × 100

Percent error = 0.028  × 100

Percent error = 2.8

Part 1. A chemist reacted 12.0 liters of F2 gas with NaCl in the laboratory to form Cl2 gas and NaF. Use the ideal gas law equat
galben [10]

The mass of NaCl needed for the reaction is 91.61 g

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole of F₂ that reacted.

  • Volume (V) = 12 L
  • Temperature (T) = 280 K
  • Pressure (P) = 1.5 atm
  • Gas constant (R) = 0.0821 atm.L/Kmol
  • Number of mole (n) =?

PV = nRT

1.5 × 12 = n × 0.0821 × 280

18 = n × 22.988

Divide both side by 22.988

n = 18 / 22.988

n = 0.783 mole

Next, we shall determine the mole of NaCl needed for the reaction.

F₂ + 2NaCl —> Cl₂ + 2NaF

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of F₂ reacted with 2 moles of NaCl.

Therefore,

0.783 mole F₂ will react with = 0.783 × 2 = 1.566 moles of NaCl.

Finally, we shall determine the mass of 1.566 moles of NaCl.

  • Mole = 1.566 moles
  • Molar mass of NaCl = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5 g/mol
  • Mass of NaCl =?

Mass = mole × molar mass

Mass of NaCl = 1.566 × 58.5

Mass of NaCl = 91.61 g

Therefore, the mass of NaCl needed for the reaction is 91.61 g

Which would exert more pressure on the floor, a 100kg man wearing snow shoes or a 60kg woman wearing high heels? PLEASE EXPLAIN
iris [78.8K]

Pressure can be defined as the force acting on a perpendicular surface per unit area.

Force exerted by a man of mass 100 kg wearing snow shoes = m.a

Where m = mass of the man = 100 kg

a = acceleration due to gravity= 9.8 m/s^{2}

Force exerted by the man of mass 100 kg = 100 kg(9.8 m/s^{2}) = 980 N

Force exerted by woman of mass 60 kg = 60 kg(9.8 m/s^{2}) = 588 N

Force exerted by 100 kg man is greater than that exerted as 60 kg woman. The area on which this force is acting determines the pressure. Pressure is inversely proportional to the area on which the force acts. Therefore, the pressure exerted by 100 kg man wearing snow shoes is less than the pressure exerted by a 60 kg woman woman wearing high heels as the force acts over a larger area when the man wears snow shoes when compared to the force exerted over a smaller area in case of the woman wearing high heels.
