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

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

A pure element is a pure substance that has only one kind of atoms. If a substance is present in nature in elemental form, it means that the element is not very reactive as reactive elements exist in the form of their compounds with atoms of other elements. Element can be categorized as a metal or a non-metal based on some physical observable properties. Generally, metals are shiny lustrous solids and nonmetals are gases. Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity whereas nonmetals are not conductors.

The mass change, or the mass defect, can be calculated by the formula that is very known to be associated with Albert Einstein. 

E = Δmc²
where
E is the energy gained or released during the reaction
c is the speed of light equal to 3×10⁸ m/s
Δm is the mass change

(1.715×10³ kJ)(1,000 J/1 kJ) = Δm(3×10⁸ m/s)²
Δm = 1.91×10⁻¹¹ kg
