When describing a solution, which of the following statements are true:

Minerals exists as solid substances in nature consisting of one or more element chemically combined together formiming compounds with definite composition. As mentioned earlier single elements can form minerals and examples of single element mineral are Silver, Carbon and Gold which are found in nature in their pure form and are mined.

Minerals are normally found in rocks, which may contain one ore more different types of minerals

A piece of wood has a labeled length value of 63.2 cm. You measure its length three times and record the following data: 63.1 cm

Ulleksa [173]

Percent error (%)= $\frac{\left | Accepted value - Measured value \right |}{Accepted value}\times 100$

Accepted value is true value.

Measured values is calculated value.

In the question given Accepted value (true value) = 63.2 cm

Given Measured(calculated values) = 63.1 cm , 63.0 cm , 63.7 cm

1) Percent error (%) for first measurement.

Accepted value (true value) = 63.2 cm, Measured(calculated values) = 63.1 cm

Percent error (%)= $\frac{\left | Accepted value - Measured value \right |}{Accepted value}\times 100$

$Percent error = \frac{\left | 63.2 - 63.1 \right |}{63.2}\times 100$

$Percent error = \frac{0.1}{63.2}\times 100$

$Percent error = 0.00158\times 100$

Percent error = 0.158 %

2) Percent error (%) for second measurement.

Accepted value (true value) = 63.2 cm, Measured(calculated values) = 63.0 cm

Percent error (%)= $\frac{\left | Accepted value - Measured value \right |}{Accepted value}\times 100$

$Percent error = \frac{\left | 63.2 - 63.0 \right |}{63.2}\times 100$

$Percent error = \frac{0.2}{63.2}\times 100$

$Percent error = 0.00316\times 100$

Percent error = 0.316 %

3) Percent error (%) for third measurement.

Accepted value (true value) = 63.2 cm, Measured(calculated values) = 63.7 cm

Percent error (%)= $\frac{\left | Accepted value - Measured value \right |}{Accepted value}\times 100$

$Percent error = \frac{\left | 63.2 - 63.7 \right |}{63.2}\times 100$

$Percent error = \frac{\left | -0.5 \right |}{63.2}\times 100$

$Percent error = \frac{(0.5)}{63.2}\times 100$

$Percent error = 0.00791\times 100$

Percent error = 0.791 %

Percent error for each measurement is :

63.1 cm = 0.158%

63.0 cm = 0.316%

63.7 cm = 0.791%

Why do farmers spray water over their crops before a frost?

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

When water freezes and turns into ice, it releases latent heat. Then, the ice that builds up on the plant will insulate it from the colder surrounding air temperatures. Because of this, some growers choose to spray their crop with water before the freeze occurs.
