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

Which type of mixture can be separated using magnetism?
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer: The correct option is heterogeneous mixture whose components are attracted differently to a magnet.

Explanation: There are two types of mixtures:

1) Homogeneous mixtures: In these mixtures, the particles are uniformly distributed throughout the mixture. These particles cannot be separated.

2) Heterogeneous Mixtures: These are the mixtures where the particles are visible separated and are not-uniformly distributed. These particles can be separated easily.

If magnet is used to separate the components of a mixture, the heterogeneous mixtures will only get separated.

To separate the components by a magnet, the components of a mixture should attract the magnet differently. One component should attract the magnet and another should not. Hence, they can be easily separated.

Ethanol C₂H₆O

Explanation:

When ethanol (CH₃-CH₂-OH) is heated in the presence of the sulphuric acid (H₂SO₄) it will produce ethylene (CH₂=CH₂ ) and water (H₂O).

CH₃-CH₂-OH → CH₂=CH₂ + H₂O

Which is the smallest particle into which water (H2O) in a glass can be broken down and still remain water? A. a water molecule
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:-

A. A water molecule

Explanation:-

A molecule is the smallest particle of a compound that retains all it's chemical properties.

Here H2O is a compound. So the smallest particle that will retain all the chemical properties and still remain water is water molecule.

Atoms Hydrogen and Oxygen both have different chemical properties from water H2O and are thus different.

Hydrogen peroxide is different molecule from water. So it is also not water.

ioda

Answer:

t = 7.58 * 10¹⁹ seconds

Explanation:

First order rate constant is given as,

k =  (2.303 /t) log  [A₀] /[Aₙ]

where  [A₀]  is the initial concentraion of the reactant; [Aₙ] is the concentration of the reactant at time, <em>t</em>

[A₀]  = 615 calories;

[Aₙ] = 615 - 480 = 135 calories

k = 2.00 * 10⁻²⁰ sec⁻¹

substituting the values in the equation of the rate constant;

2.00 * 10⁻²⁰ sec⁻¹ = (2.303/t) log (615/135)

(2.00 * 10⁻²⁰ sec⁻¹) / log (615/135) = (2.303/t)

t = 2.303 / 3.037 * 10⁻²⁰

t = 7.58 * 10¹⁹ seconds

Crude oil is derived from which of the following materials?
QveST [7]

I believe that crude oil is derived from plants because it is made up of a liquid that is found beneath the earth surface so I guess you could go with plants it is not an animal or rock or salt so.. could be brainliest not 100% sure so if you are not sure go with your gut
