A 100 gram block is placed on a scale that is known to have a 12% error. What will the scale read?

sesenic [268]

The scale will read <u>112 grams.</u>

Why?

Since we already know the percent error of the scale (12%) and we also know the mass of the block that is placed on the scale, we can calculate what will be the read of the scale by using the following formula:

$ScaleRead=100g+(100g*\frac{12}{100})=100g+(100g*0.12)=100g+12g\\\\ScaleRead=112g$

We can see that the scale will read 112 grams.

Let's verify that we are right by using the following formula to verify if the obtained value for the scale read will be 12%:

$PercentError=\frac{ActualValue-RealValue}{RealValue}*100=\frac{112g-100g}{100g}*100\\\\PercentError=\frac{12g}{100g}*100=0.12*100=12(percent)$

Hence, we can see that the scale will read <u>112 grams.</u>

Have a nice day!

The chemical formula for lithium fluoride is lif . a chemist determined by measurements that 0.035 moles of lithium fluoride par

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:
mass = 0.907865 grams

Explanation:
From the periodic table:
molar mass of Li = 6.941 grams
molar mass of F = 18.998 grams
Therefore:
molar mass of LiF = 6.941 + 18.998 = 25.939 grams/mole

number of moles can be calculated as follows:
number of moles = mass / molar mass
We have:
number of moles = 0.035 moles
molar mass = 25.939 grams/mole

Substitute in the equation to get the mass as follows:
0.035 = mass / 25.939
mass = 0.035 * 25.939 = 0.907865 grams

Hope this helps :)
