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

If an ideal gas at a constant temperature is initially at a pressure of 3.8 atm and is then allowed to expand to a volume of 5.6
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

The most common example is the molar volume of a gas at STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure), which is equal to 22.4 L for 1 mole of any ideal gas at a temperature equal to 273.15 K and a pressure equal to 1.00 atm.If an ideal gas at a constant temperature is initially at a pressure of 3.8 atm and is then allowed to expand to a volume of 5.6 L and a pressure of 2.1 - 18914… ... of 5.6 L and a pressure of 2.1 atm, what is the initial volume of the gas? ... An ideal gas is at a pressure of 1.4 atm and has a volume of 3 L.
