A 50-mL beaker only has a scale that measures 10, 20, 30, and 40 mL. What is the uncertainty associated with the 50 mL beaker.

1 answer:

8 0

If the uncertainty of a certain measurement instrument is not given, then it is assumed to be equal to half of the least count of that instrument. In this case, the least count is 10 ml, so half of this is 5 ml. Therefore, the graduated cylinder has an uncertainty of +/- 5 ml

One mole of copper equals about how many atoms?

Arlecino [84]

One mole of copper equals 6.02 × 10^23 atoms. The answer is letter C. This follows the Avogaro’s law wherein 1 mole of a substance is equal to 6.02 x 10^23 atoms, formula units or molecules. This is applicable to all substances.

A 8L sample of gas at 250 K is cooled to 75 K. What is the volume of the gas after it is cooled?

Stells [14]

$by \: Charles'\: law: \: \\ \frac{v_{1}}{t_{1}} = \frac{v_{2}}{t_{2}} \\$

Where v is the volume(in L) and t is the temperature(in °K)

$\frac{8}{250} = \frac{v_{2}}{75} \\\\4/5 =v_2/3 \\\\\boxed{v_{2} = \frac{12}{5}}\\\\\\\huge{=2.5 l}$

You wish to make 250. mL of 0.20 M KCl from a stock solution of 1.5 M KCl and DI water.

Nitella [24]

The question requires us to use the dilution formula $M_iV_i=M_fV_f$ , where $M_i$ and $V_i$ are the stock concentration and volume respectively, then $M_f$ and $V_f$ are the dilute concentration and volume respectively.
