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 student is adding DI water to a volumetric flask to make a 50% solution. Unfortunately, he was not paying attention and filled
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

His results will be skewed because there was more water than stock solution. Which would cause the percentage solution to be less than 50% therefore the density would be less than the actual value.

Explanation:

The solution will have percentage less than that of 50%. Therefore the density would be less than the actual value.

Suppose there should be 50 mL of the solution, and he added 60 mL. So 10 mL of the solution is added more.

Suppose the mass of the solute is m.

Originally, the density is = $\frac{m}{50}$     \left(\frac{\text{mass}}{\text{volume}}\right)

Now after adding extra 10 mL , the density becomes $\frac{m}{60}$.

Therefore, $\frac{m}{50}>\frac{m}{60}$

So the density decreases when we add more solution.

What orbital is represented by the transition metals in period four
andreev551 [17]

The name transition metal refers to the position in the periodic table of elements. The transition elements represent the successive addition of electrons to the d atomic orbitals of the atoms. In this way, the transition metals represent the transition between group 2 (2A) elements and group 13 (3A) elements.

Which of the answer choices best describes elements?
lianna [129]
It can be a compound or a single element. An element is a pure substance that cannot be separated into simpler substances by chemical or physical means. There are about 117 elements, butcarbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen are only a few that make up the largest portion of Earth.

I would say d.

Explain how to use the periodic table to deduce the number of protons, neutrons and electrons of an atom of a specific element
Ksju [112]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The periodic table shows the atomic number and mass number of each element.

We know that the atomic number shows;

  1. The number of protons in the nucleus of the atom
  2. The number of electrons in the neutral atom of the element.

So we obtain the number of protons and electrons by looking at the atomic number shown in the periodic table.

We also know that;

Mass number = Number of protons + number of neutrons

Since number of protons = atomic number of the atom

Number of neutrons = Mass number - atomic number

Hence we obtain the number of protons by subtracting the atomic number from the mass number given in the periodic table.
