Steven had a sample of ethanol and wanted to see if it would boil at the temperature found in his textbook. His experiment yield

ed a temperature of 143.6oF but the literature value was 173.1oF. What is the percent error in this experiment?

Answer:

17.04%

Explanation:

Actual Value = 173.1

Measured Value = 143.6

Percent error is obtained using the equation;

Percent error = (Measured - Actual) / Actual ]* 100

Percent error = [ (143.6 - 173.1) / 173.1 ] * 100

The absolute value of (Measured - Actual) is taken,

Percent Error = [29.5 / 173.1 ] * 100

Percent Error = 0.1704 * 100 = 17.04%

rjkz [21]
It is really easy if you look up an electron configuration table (one that looks like a periodic table) and then just go down the rows left to right, top to bottom, and just stop when you get to where the element is on the table.

How does the product of burning differ from the original material​
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

Burning is a chemical process by which two atoms or molecules will combine with each other. In burning, the two atoms or molecules will combine and release energy.When the molecules combine and release energy, it is released in the form of heat and often light.Different compounds react with oxygen differently – some contain lots of heat energy while others produce a smaller amount.The bigger the fuel load, the more intense the fire will be in terms of heat energy output. Moisture content: If the fuel isn't dry enough, it won't burn.Flames consist primarily of carbon dioxide, water vapor, oxygen and nitrogen. If hot enough, the gases may become ionized to produce plasma. Depending on the substances alight, and any impurities outside, the color of the flame and the fire's intensity will be different.

At a certain temperature the rate of this reaction is first order in HI with a rate constant of :0.0632s
Shalnov [3]

Answer : The time taken for the reaction is, 28 s.

Explanation :

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by :

k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{[A_o]}{[A]}

where,

k = rate constant  = 0.0632

t = time taken for the process  = ?

[A_o] = initial amount or concentration of the reactant  = 1.28 M

[A] = amount or concentration left time 't' = 1.28\times \frac{17}{100}=0.2176M

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get:

0.0632=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{1.28}{0.2176}

t=28s

Therefore, the time taken for the reaction is, 28 s.

The melting point of table salt is 801 degrees celsius. is this a physical or chemical property?
Valentin [98]
It is a Physical property because like water it changes into a ice cube but it can be melted into water or be turned back into an ice cube.

An aqueous solution of calcium hydroxide is standardized by titration with a 0.120 M solution of hydrobromic acid. If 16.5 mL of
Artist 52 [7]

<u>Answer:</u> The molarity of calcium hydroxide in the solution is 0.1 M

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the concentration of base, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2

where,

n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1 are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is HBr

n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2 are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is Ca(OH)_2

We are given:

n_1=1\\M_1=0.120M\\V_1=27.5mL\\n_2=2\\M_2=?M\\V_2=16.5mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

1\times 0.120\times 27.5=2\times M_2\times 16.5\\\\M_2=0.1M

Hence, the molarity of Ca(OH)_2 in the solution is 0.1 M.
