A student performs an experiment to determine the molar mass of magnesium oxide. The student repeats the experiment five times a

nd collects the following data: 40.220gmol, 40.654gmol, 40.314 gmol, 40.165 gmol, and 40.554 gmol. If the accepted value for the molar mass is 40.304 gmol, what is the percent relative error for the average of this data?

Answer:

Percent relative error = 0.191%

Explanation:

Relative error is a measure of accuracy (How closeness is the measure to the accepted value) for a determined data. The formula is:

Percent relative error = |Experimental - Accepted| / Accepted * 100

<em>Where experimental is the average of the data:</em>

(40.220g/mol + 40.654g/mol + 40.314g/mol + 40.165g/mol + 40.554g/mol) / 5 =

40.381g/mol

Replacing using accepted value = 40.304g/mol:

|40.381g/mol - 40.304g/mol| / 40.304g/mol * 100

<h3>Percent relative error = 0.191%</h3>

A sample of nitrogen is initially at a pressure of 1.7 kPa, a temperature of -10 C and a volume of 7.5 m3. Then the volume is de
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

\boxed{\text{2.6 kPa}}

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we can use the Combined Gas Laws:

\dfrac{p_{1}V_{1} }{T_{1}} = \dfrac{p_{2}V_{2} }{T_{2}}

Data:

p₁ = 1.7 kPa; V₁ = 7.5 m³;  T₁ =   -10 °C

p₂ = ?;          V₂ = 3.8 m³; T₂ = 200  K

Calculations:

(a) Convert temperature to kelvins

T₁ = (-10   + 273.15) K = 263.15 K

(b) Calculate the pressure

\begin{array}{rcl}\dfrac{1.7 \times 7.5 }{263.15} & = & \dfrac{p_{2} \times 3.8}{200}\\\\0.0485 & = & 0.0190p_{2}\\p_{2} & = & \textbf{2.6 kPa}\\\end{array}\\\text{The new pressure of the gas is \boxed{\textbf{2.6 kPa}}}

salantis [7]
1. The hypothesis for this is experiment is that the 50:50 of methanol-water mixture will not turn to solid when the temperature reaches to -40°C.

2. The procedure for this is measuring equal volumes of water and methanol using the graduated cylinder. You can measure 100 mL of water and 100 mL of methanol using the graduated cylinder. Then, mix them in the beaker. Next, measure 200 mL of water, and another 200 mL of methanol. Don't mix them. Also, make a 60:40 mixture by measuring 120 mL of water and 80 mL of methanol, then mix them together. Place them all in the refrigerator at the same time. Record the time when they would freeze to solid.

3. The controls for this experiment are the 200 mL water alone, and the 200 mL methanol alone.

4. The independent variable in here is the time, while the dependent variable is the temperature of the mixtures.

5. If the hypothesis turns out to be true, then all the mixtures prepared should freeze and become solid after a certain period of time, with the exception of the 50:50 mixture. The 50:50 mixture should still remain as a liquid even when left overnight.

Please Help Weak Acid Base Problems!!!
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

The procedure for calculating the pH of a solution of a weak base is similar to that of the weak acid in the sample problem. However, the variable x will represent the concentration of the hydroxide ion. The pH is found by taking the negative logarithm to get the pOH, followed by subtracting from 14 to get the pH.
