Experiment #1A melting point of an old sample of Naphthalene was completed and a melting range of 77-83 oC was observed and reco

rded. Complete the following calculations and show your work. 1. From the information and data in the JoVE video, calculate the percent error of the melting point compared to the literature value for the naphthalene sample.2. What does the melting point range and percent error suggest about the sample?

Answer:

%error = 0.32%

Explanation:

Let's answer both questions, by parts.

1. Percentage error:

In this case, I do not have the video, but I do have the reported melting point of naphtalene which is 80.26 °C.

The expression to calculate the percentage error is the following:

%Error = absolute error / actual percentage. (1)

And the absolute error is:

Abs error = actual value - experimental value  (2)

But the experimental value is a range, so we just have to get a average of that:

Exp value = 77 + 83 / 2 = 80 °C

Now the absolute error:

Abs error = 80.26 - 80 = 0.26 °C

Finally the %error:

%error = (0.26 / 80.26) * 100

<h2>%error = 0.32%</h2>

2. Meaning of melting point range and %error

The melting point range just means that the sample of naphtalene has impurities, and when a sample of any compound has impurities, melting point tends to be low. However, this decrease of temperature is a wider range. But usually a range of just 5° C means that compound has little traces of impurities but it can still be used for reactions.

The %error means that the impurities of the sample are really low, so the sample is practically pure with little traces of impurities.

the equilibrium concentration of hydroxide ion in a saturated iron(ii) hydroxide solution is 1.2 x 10^-5 M at a certain temperat
Anit [1.1K]

From the calculation as shpwn in the procedure below, the equilibrium constant of the substance is 6.9 * 10^-15.

<h3>What is equilibrium constant?</h3>

The equilibrium constant for the solubility of aa solid in solution is called the solubility product Ksp. The Ksp shows the extent to which a solid is dissolved in solution.

Given that;

Fe(OH)2 ⇄Fe^2+ + 2(OH)^-

Ksp = s(2s)^2

We have s as 1.2 x 10^-5 M

So

Ksp = 4s^3

Ksp = 4( 1.2 x 10^-5 )^3

Ksp = 6.9 * 10^-15

Molecules are large atoms true or false
Naddik [55]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Molecules are not more sizable atoms than the average atom. Molecules are compunds of two different symbolic elements, when you combine then you get a molecule. The answer to your question is false because if they were larger molecules, they would be in object around us but molecules are not in all objects around us.

Wich has more energy rolling down a hill - a bowling ball or soccer ball? Explain your answer
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

Bowling ball

Explanation:

They are traveling at the same speed, but the bowling ball has more mass.  The bowling ball has more kinetic energy because more force is needed to stop the rolling bowling ball. Two balls with different masses moving at the same speed have different amounts of kinetic energy.
