Answer: % Errror = 11.05%
Explanation:
Percentage error is the difference between the measured value and the theoretical value as expressed in percent.
That is;
% Error =
( Theoretical value -measured value) /(Theoretical value) × 100
Theoretical value =55.2kJ
Measured value = 49.1kJ
% Error = (55.2-49.1)/(55.2) ×100
%Error = 6.1/55.2 ×100
% Error = 0.1105 ×100
% Error = 11.05
Therefore the percentage error is 11.05%
The pressure of the oxygen gas collected : 718 mmHg
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
P tot = 748 mmHg
P water vapour = 30 mmHg
Required
P Oxygen
Solution
Dalton's law of partial pressures states that the total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the component gases
Can be formulated:
P tot = P1 + P2 + P3 ....
The partial pressure is the pressure of each gas in a mixture
P tot = P H₂O + P Oxygen
P Oxygen = 748 mmHg - 30 mmHg
P Oxygen = 718 mmHg
Heat from deep within Earth is thought to keep the asthenosphere malleable, lubricating the undersides of Earth's tectonic plates and allowing them to move.
