When measuring the volume of a liquid, how would sample size (e.g., using a 10 mL graduated cylinder vs. a 100 mL graduated cyli

nder to measure out 70 mL of a liquid) affect the absolute error and percentage error in the measured values of mass and volume and therefore the density

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

The accuracy depends on the internal diameter of the cylinder. The cylinder with the least internal diameter is obviously more precise.

Let's assume 1% is the error of measurement.

Then, to measure 70 mL from 10 mL cylinder

The error = 10 \times \dfrac{1}{100} \times 7

= 0.7 mL

However; for a 100 mL cylinder, the error = 1 mL

Now,

The total volume for 10 mL = (70 + 0.7) = 70.7 mL

The total volume for 100 mL = (70 + 1 ) = 71 mL

Suppose the density (d) is same for both

Then;

the mass of 10 mL = ( d × 70.7) g

the mass pf 100 mL = (d × 71) g

Thus, the mass of 100 mL is greater than that of 10 mL.

The monomer of poly(vinyl chloride) has the formula C2H3Cl. If there are 1,565 repeat units in a single chain of the polymer, wh
monitta

Answer:

\large \boxed{9.780 \times 10^{4}\text{ u}}

Explanation:

The molecular mass of a monomer unit is:

C₂H₃Cl = 2×12.01 + 3×1.008 + 35.45 = 24.02 + 3.024 + 35.45 = 62.494 u

For 1565 units,

\text{Molecular mass} = \text{1565 units} \times \dfrac{\text{62.494 u}}{\text{1 unit }} = \mathbf{9.780 \times 10^{4}}\textbf{ u}\\\\\text{The molecular mass of the chain is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{9.780 \times 10^{4}}\textbf{ u}}$}

This is the balances equations. C3H8 + 5O2 → 3CO2 + 4H2O How many moles of oxygen are required to produce 37.15 g CO2
AleksandrR [38]
Molar mass O2 = 31.99 g/mol

Molar mass CO2 = 44.01 g/mol

Moles ratio:

<span>C3H8 + 5 O2 = 3 CO2 + 4 H2O 
</span>
5 x 44.01 g O2 ---------------- 3 x 44.01 g CO2
( mass of O2) ------------------ 37.15 g CO2

mass of O2 = 37.15 x 5 x 44.01/ 3 x 44.01

mass of O2 = 8174.8575 / 132.03

mass of O2 = 61.916 g 

Therefore:

1 mole O2 ----------------- 31.99 g
moles O2 -------------------- 61.916

moles O2 = 61.916 x 1 / 31.99

moles = 61.916 / 31.99 => 1.935 moles of O2

Radar detectors use radio waves to measure the speed of moving
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

1.7x10^8 Hz

Explanation:

Frequency could be explained as the number of occurrences of a repeating event at a time

Given:

wavelength = 1.8 meters

The frequency f of the waves can be calculated using f = c / λ

Where c (m/s) is the speed of the wave

λ (m) is the wavelength

Speed c= 3*10^8 m/s

Frequency f= 3*10^8 /1.8

Frequency= 1.7x10^8 Hz

Therefore,the frequency of waves from a radar detector is 1.7x10^8 Hz
