The density of copper is listed as 8.94g/cm​ 3​ . Two students each make three density determinations of samples of the substanc

e. Student A's results are 7.3g/mL, 9.4g/mL, and 8.3g/mL. Student B's results are 8.4g/cm​ 3​ , 8.8g/cm​ 3​ , 8.0g/cm​ 3​ . Compare the two sets of results in terms of precision and accuracy.

Answer:

Density of the copper = 8.94g/cm^3

Student A results = 7.3gm/cm^3 ,9.4 gm/cm^3 , 8.3gm/cm^3

Student B results = 8.4 gm/cm^3 , 8.8 gm/cm^3 , 8gm/cm^3

From the observations we conclude that

Student A's result is accurate but not  precise as the trials noted are not close to each other.

Student B's result is accurate and precise as the trials noted are close to each other.

Mean density of student A = 7.3 + 9.4 + 8.3 /3 = 8.33gm/cm^3

Mean density of student B = 8.4 + 8.8 + 8 /3 = 8.4 gm/cm^3

both the densities of A and B are 0.5 away from the actual density.

Write a balanced equation for the complete combustion of 2,3-dimethylbutane. use the molecular formula for the alkane (c before
Nuetrik [128]

2C_6H_14 + 19O_2 → 12CO_2 + 14H_2O

<em>Step 1</em>. Write the <em>condensed structural  formula</em> for 2,3-dimethylbutane.

(CH_3)_2CHCH(CH_3)_2

<em>Step 2</em>. Write the <em>molecular formula</em>.

C_6H_14

<em>Step 3</em>. Write the <em>unbalanced chemical equation</em>.

C_6H_14 + O_2 → CO_2 + H_2O

<em>Step 4</em>. Pick the <em>most complicated-looking formula</em> (C_6H_14) and balance its atoms (C and H).

<em>1</em>C_6H_14 + O_2 → <em>6</em>CO_2 + <em>7</em>H_2O

<em>Step 5</em>. Balance the <em>remaining atoms</em> (O).

1C_6H_14 + (<em>19/2</em>)O_2 → 6CO_2 + 7H_2O

Oops! <em>Fractional coefficients</em>!

<em>Step 6</em>. <em>Multiply all coefficients by a number</em> (2) to give integer coeficients..

2C_6H_14 + 19O_2 → 12CO_2 + 14H_2O

Determine the empirical and molecular formula:
Bingel [31]

Answer:

The empirical formula = molecular formula = C13H18O2

Explanation:

in 100% compound we have 75.6 % Carbon ( Molar mass = 12g/mole), 8.80% hydrogen ( Molar mass = 1.01 g/mole) and 15.5% Oxygen (Molar mass = 16.01 g/mole).

Carbon: 75.6g / 12 = 6.29

Hydrogen: 8.80/ 1 = 8.80

Oxygen: 15.5/ 16 = 0.97

⇒0.97 is the smallest so we divide everything through by 0.97

C: 6.29 / 0.97 =  6.48 ≈ 6.5

H: 8.80 /0.97 = 9

O: 0.97 / 0.97 = 1

To get rid of decimals, we multiply by 2  

C: 6.5 x 2 = 13

H: 9 x 2 = 18

O: 1 x 2 = 2

The empirical formula = C13H18O2

13x 12g/mol + 18x1g/mol  + 2x 16g/mol = 156 + 18 + 32 = 206g/mol  which is the molar mass of ibuprofen

The empirical formula = molecular formula = C13H18O2
