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>

How glass tube filed with acidified potassium dichromate detect drunken driver
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The reaction between alcohol and acidified potassium dichromate  is a redox reaction. This reaction can be used to detect a drunken driver.

Alcohols can be oxidized to aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acids depending on the structure of the alcohol. Primary alcohols yield adehydes and carboxylic acids while secondary alcohols are oxidized to ketones.

The colour of the acidified potassium dichromate turns from orange to green when exposed to alcohols from the breath of a drunken driver.
