Explain what it means to have a positive percent error value and a negative percent value.

Chemistry
1 answer:
pentagon [3]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The error of an experiment is the difference between the experimental and accepted values. If the experimental value is less than the accepted value, the error is negative. If the experimental value is larger than the accepted value, the error is positive.

Explanation:

I hope that helped if it did mark me brainlest! i really need it :(

The accepted value is 29.35. Which correctly describes this student's experimental data?
kkurt [141]

Answer:

- Both accurate and precise.

Explanation:

The experimental data is characterized as the data that is generated through a specific test or measurement with the purpose of analysis or evaluation. As per the question, the minuteness of the given data(29.27, 29.32, and 29. 27)most aptly describes that the experimental data collected by the student possesses 'accuracy and precision' apt and specific. It would yield the most worthy and reliable conclusion.

What mass is in 5 moles of helium?
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

Mass = 20 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of He = 5 mol

Mass of He = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Molar mass = 4 g/mol

by putting values,

5 mol = Mass / 4 g/mol

Mass = 5 mol × 4 g/mol

Mass = 20 g

There are 43.2 g of carbon to 14.4 g of hydrogen in a sample of methane (CH4). What percent of 37.8 g of methane is carbon?
EastWind [94]

Using the law of constant proportions  which says that within the same compound, elements exist in fixed ratios. 

Therefore; we can use the ratio of total mass to the mass of carbon, to determine the amount of carbon in another sample.

Mass C / Mass CH4 = Mass C / Mass CH4

43.2 g / 57.6 g = Mass C / 37.8 g

Mass C = 37.8 g × 43.2 g / 57.6 g 

              = 28.35 g

Hence; the percentage of carbon will be; 

=(28.35/ 37.8 )× 100%

= 75 % 

Thus; 75% of 37.8 g of methane is carbon

In which orbital does an electron in a bromine atom experience the greatest effective nuclear charge?
asambeis [7]

First let us determine the electronic configuration of Bromine (Br). This is written as:

Br = [Ar] 3d10 4s2 4p5

 

Then we must recall that the greatest effective nuclear charge (also referred to as shielding) greatly increases as distance of the orbital to the nucleus also increases. So therefore the electron in the farthest shell will experience the greatest nuclear charge hence the answer is:

<span>4p orbital</span>
