In a chemical process, the amount of a certain type of impurity in the output is difficult to control and is thus a random varia

ble. It is known that the standard deviation of the impurity is 0.0015 following an approximately normal distribution. If a random sample of 75 outputs has an average impurity of 0.310, find a 95% confidence interval for the mean amount of the impurity.

Answer:

+/- 0.00033

Explanation:

For a 95 % confidence interval the range is given by

+/- Z * s/sqrt(n)

where Z value is 1.916 for a 95% confidence interval

Therefore the interval is

s is the standard deviation in this case 0.0015

n is 75 the number of outposts

calculating,

+/- 1.916 * 0.0015/sqrt(75) = +/- 0.00033

Answer:

\\ (Lower\;value =0.3097 ; Upper\;value = 0.3103).

We can also represent it as \\ P(0.3097 \leq \mu \leq 0.3103) = 0.95.

Explanation:

This is a case of finding <em>two values</em> that define an <em>interval</em> in which is included the <em>population mean for the impurity</em> in the chemical process with a probability of 95%.

We have full information to this respect to solve the question:

  1. The <em>population standard deviation</em>, which is \\ \sigma = 0.0015.
  2. The <em>sample mean</em>, which is \\ \bar{x} = 0.310.
  3. The <em>sample size</em> \\ n = 75.

That is, we can find the 95% confidence interval for a <em>given population standard deviation</em>.

The formula for finding these <em>two values, </em>in these conditions,<em> </em>is as follows:

\\ Lower\;value = \bar{x} - 1.96\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

\\ Upper\;value = \bar{x} + 1.96\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

We have already confirmed that we have all these values: the population standard deviation, the sample mean and the sample size.

The number 1.96 corresponds to a <em>z-score</em> that is<em> 1.96</em> times the standard deviation from the mean, and represents the <em>confidence coefficient</em> and depends on the <em>confidence level</em>, which is in this case of 5% (or 0.05). A confidence level of 5% determines this 95 % confidence interval.

Notice that we are going to use a mean obtained from a sample of 75 elements \\ \bar{x} = 0.310, which represents a <em>sample mean</em>.

As a result, in order to find the two values that define the <em>95% confidence interval, </em>we can proceed as follows:

Lower value of the 95% confidence interval

\\ Lower\;value = \bar{x} - 1.96\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

\\ Lower\;value = 0.310 - 1.96\frac{0.0015}{\sqrt{75}}.

\\ Lower\;value =0.3097.

Upper value of the 95% confidence interval

\\ Upper\;value = \bar{x} + 1.96\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

\\ Upper\;value = 0.310 + 1.96\frac{0.0015}{\sqrt{75}}.

\\ Upper\;value = 0.3103.

Thus, the 95% confidence interval, or the interval for which there is a probability of 95% to find the population mean for this certain type of impurity:

\\ Lower\;value =0.3097.

\\ Upper\;value = 0.3103.

That is:

\\ P(0.3097 \leq \mu \leq 0.3103) = 0.95.

Draw the product formed when cyclohexene is reacted with H2 in the presence of Pt. Note: If adding hydrogen atoms to a carbon at
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

It has been drawn and uploaded as an attachment. Please download it to see the structure.

Explanation:

The product formed as a result of the reaction of cyclohexene with H2​ in presence of Pt (platinum) can be described as catalytic hydrogenation. Catalytic hydrogenation is defined as the process of hydrogen addition in the presence of a catalyst, which in this case is platinum.

Note that Cyclohexene (alkene) is a hydrocarbon molecule represented by the chemical formula, C6​H10​ .

It consists of a double bond. During the hydrogenation reaction, the alkene undergoes an addition reaction to give alkane which is a saturated hydrocarbon as the product.

The first step in order to derive the product is to draw the chemical structure of cyclohexene and identify the double bond present in it.

The final product can be derived by replacing the double bond with the single bond and satisfying all the valences of the carbon atom. The final product structure has been drawn and uploaded as an attachment. Please download it to see the structure.

Ans:

The structure of the cyclohexane thus, formed has been shown as follows with all the hydrogen atoms:

Determine the empirical formula of a compound containing 1.71 g of silicon and 8.63 g of chlorine.
Basile [38]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: SiCl₄

Explanation:

Data

amount of Si      1.71 g

amount of Cl     8.63 g

MW Si = 28 g

MW Cl = 35.5

Process (rule of three)

For Si                                                        For Cl

        28 g of Si ------------------ 1 mol                      35.5 g of Cl --------------- 1 mol

          1.71g of Si  ---------------   x                              8.63 g of Cl --------------  x

         x = 1.71 x 1 / 28 = 0.06 mol                          x = 8.63 x 1 / 35.5 = 0.24 mol

Now, divide both results by the lowest of them.

Si = 0.06 mol / 0.06 = 1 molecule of Si     Cl = 0.24 / 0.06 = 4 molecules of Cl

Finally

                     Si₁ Cl₄ or SiCl₄
