Answer:

The answer is

Explanation:

The percentage error of a certain measurement can be found by using the formula

$P(\%) = \frac{error}{actual \: \: number} \times 100\% \\$

From the question

actual volume = 35 mg

error = 35 - 28 = 7

The percentage error is

$P(\%) = \frac{7}{35} \times 100 \\ = \frac{1}{5} \times 100 \\ = 20$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

Answer:

20%

Explanation:

The formula is [ |va-ve/ve| * 100% ] where e = error and n = number.

|28-35/35| * 100

|-7/35| * 100%

|-1/5| * 100%

0.2 * 100%

20%

Best of Luck!

How many moles of AlCl3 are in 2.25L of a 0.15 molar solution?

Darya [45]

Answer:

Option C. 0.34 moles

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Molarity = 0.15M

Volume = 2.25L

Mole =

Molarity = mole /Volume

Mole = Molarity x Volume

Mole = 0.15 x 2.25

Mole = 0.34mole

The number of mole of AlCl3 present in the solution is 0.34mole.

An unknown compound contains only carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen. Complete combustion of a 2.77 g sample of the compound

alisha [4.7K]

The molecular formula of the unknown compound is determined as C₉H₁₁NO₂.

<h3>Molecular formula of the compound</h3>

The molecular formula is calculated as follows;

CHNO + O₂ ------------> CO₂ + H₂O

Mass of carbon, C: = (6.64 x 12)/44 = 1.81 g in 2.77 g sample

Mass of hydrogen, H: = (1.67 x 2)/18 = 0.186 g in 2.77 g sample

Mass of Nitrogen, N: = (2.77 x 0.143)/1.69 = 0.234 g

Mass of oxygen, O: = 2.77 g - 1.81 g - 0.186 g - 0.234 g = 0.54 g

<h3>molar ratio of the elements: </h3>

C = 1.81 g = 0.15 mol

H = 0.186 g = 0.186 mol

N = 0.234 g = 0.017 mol

O = 0.54 g = 0.0337 mol

divide through with the smallest number of moles (0.017 mol);

C = 9

H = 11

N = 1

O = 2

Molecular formula = C₉H₁₁NO₂

Check the molar mass of the compound = (9 x 12) + (11 x 1) + (14) + (2 x 16) = 165 g/mol

Thus, the molecular formula of the unknown compound is determined as C₉H₁₁NO₂.

A 25.0-mL sample of 0.150 M hydrazoic acid, HN3, is titrated with a 0.150 M NaOH solution. What is the pH after 13.3 mL of base

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

pH ≅ 4.80

Explanation:

Given that:

the volume of HN₃ = 25 mL = 0.025 L

Molarity of HN₃ = 0.150 M

number of moles of HN₃ = 0.025 × 0.150

number of moles of HN₃ = 0.00375 mol

Molarity of NaOH = 0.150 M

the volume of NaOH = 13.3 mL = 0.0133

number of moles of NaOH = 0.0133× 0.150

number of moles of NaOH = 0.001995 mol

The chemical equation for the reaction of this process can be written as:

$HN_3 + OH- ---> N^-_{3} + H_2O$

1 mole of hydrazoic acid react with 1 mole of hydroxide to give nitride ion and water

thus the new number of moles of HN₃ = 0.00375 - 0.001995 = 0.001755 mol

Total volume used in the reaction = 0.025 + 0.0133 = 0.0383 L

Concentration of $HN_3$ = $\dfrac{0.001755}{0.0383}$ = 0.0458 M

Concentration of $N^{-}_3$ = $\dfrac{ 0.001995 }{0.0383}$ = 0.0521 M

GIven that :

Ka = $1.9 x 10^{-5}$

Thus; it's pKa = 4.72

$pH =4.72 + log(\dfrac{ \ 0.0521}{0.0458})$

$pH =4.72 + log(1.1376)$

$pH =4.72 + 0.05598$

$pH =4.77598$

pH ≅ 4.80
