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.

Plz answer thx<br><br><br> ​How many moles are in 2.5 x 10^18 grams of water?
alex41 [277]

Answer:

1.39\times 10^{17} moles of water in 2.5\times 10^{18} g of water.

Explanation:

Mass of water = m = 2.5\times 10^{18} g

Molar mass of water = M = 18 g/mol

Moles = n = \frac{m}{M}

n=\frac{2.5\times 10^{18} g}{18 g/mol}=1.39\times 10^{17} moles

So, there are 1.39\times 10^{17} moles of water in 2.5\times 10^{18} g of water.

What is the percent composition of hydrogen in vinegar (CH3COOH)?​
barxatty [35]

Answer:

                      %H  = 6.72 %

Explanation:

                   Percent composition of an element is the total mass of that element divided by the molecular mass of compound (or molecular mass) of which it is present in.

So,

Percent composition of Hydrogen will be given as,

         %H  =  Total mass of H / Molecular Mass of Acetic Acid × 100

So,

Total Mass of H  =  1.01 × 4 = 4.04 g

Molecular Mass of Acetic acid  =  60.052 g/mol

Putting values in above formula,

         %H  =  4.04 g/mol ÷ 60.052 g/mol × 100

         %H  = 6.72 %
