What are the source of error in determination of boiling point and melting point

Chemistry

<span> purity of the substance is usually the main error (for example: water with impurities will have m.p. less than 273K or 0 degree celcius while it's b.p. will be greater than 373K or 100 degree celcius). </span>
<span>-> air/ room temperature (it takes longer to cook in mountains and shorter at beaches) </span>
<span>-> parallax error (error by determining the meniscus of the thermometer) </span>
<span>and many more..</span>

A sample of 1.00 moles of oxygen at 50°C and 98.6 kPa, occupies what volume?
enyata [817]

Answer:

27.22 dm³

Explanation:

Given parameters:

number of moles = 1 mole

temperature= 50°C, in K gives 50+ 273 = 323K

Pressure= 98.6kpa in ATM, gives 0.973 ATM

Solution:

Since the unknown is the volume of gas, applying the ideal gas law will be appropriate in solving this problem.

The ideal gas law is mathematically expressed as,

Pv=nRT

where P is the pressure of the gas

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

R is the gas constant

T is the temperature

Input the parameters and solve for V,

0.973 x V = 1 x 0.082 x 323

V= 27.22 dm³

Would fluorine form a positive or a negative ion?
IceJOKER [234]
It would form a negative ion... it lacks 1 e in its valence shell., it is easier for F to accept an e than to shed all existing 7.
e= electron

A student is instructed to make 1 L of a 2.0 M solution of CaCl2 using dry salt. How should he do this?
Pachacha [2.7K]
<span>The student should follow following steps to make 1 L of </span>2.0 M CaCl₂.<span>
<span>
1. First he should calculate the number of moles of 2.0 M CaCl</span></span>₂ in 1 L solution.<span>

</span>Molarity of the solution = 2.0 M<span>
Volume of solution which should be prepared = 1 L

Molarity = number of moles / volume of the solution

Hence, number of moles in 1 L = 2 mol

2. Find out the mass of dry CaCl</span>₂ in 2 moles.<span>

moles = mass / molar mass

Moles of CaCl₂ = 2 mol</span><span>
Molar mass of CaCl₂ = </span><span>110.98 g/mol

Hence, mass of CaCl</span>₂ = 2 mol x <span>110.98 g/mol
                                     = 221.96 g

3. Weigh the mass accurately 

4. Then take a cleaned and dry1 L volumetric flask and place a funnel top of it. Then carefully add the salt into the volumetric flask and finally wash the funnel and watch glass with de-ionized water. That water also should be added into the volumetric flask.

5. Then add some de-ionized water into the volumetric flask and swirl well until all salt are dissolved.

<span>6. Then top up to mark of the volumetric flask carefully. 
</span>
</span>
7. As the final step prepared solution should be labelled.

You used a calorimeter in the heat transfer lab. Explain how the calorimeter works, and how to calculate the heat given off or a
Olenka [21]
A calorimeter contains reactants and a substance to absorb the heat absorbed. The initial temperature (before the reaction) of the heat absorbent is measured and then the final temperature (after the reaction) is also measured. The absorbent's specific heat capacity and mass are also known. Given all of this data, the equation:
Q = mcΔT 
To find the heat released.
