Answer:
- <u>TRUE:</u> <em>Percent concentration is one of the most common and basic concentration measurement used by general public</em>
Explanation:
In chemistry there are many <em>concentration measurements</em> used to describe the mixtures. Some of them are, percent, molarity, molality, and molar fraction, among others.
Percent concentration is a popular one because it is commonly understood and used by the non specialist people, i.e. general public.
The percent concentration of a component is defined as: (amount of component in the mixture / amount of mixture) × 100.
The amounts may be measured in mass units (e.g grams) or volume units (e.g. mililiters).
For solutions, mass percent concentration is:
- % = (mass of solute / mass of solution) × 100.
And voluem percen contration is:
- % = (volume of solute / volume of solution) × 100
Since percentage is used in many profesional and personal activities, most persons use it.
For example, rubbing alcohol, that everyone buys in pharmacies, is 70%; vinager, used in the food, is acetic acid at 5% - 8%.
Answer:
1) The Kelvin temperature cannot be negative
2) The Kelvin degree is written as K, not ºK
Explanation:
The temperature of an object can be written using different temperature scales.
The two most important scales are:
- Celsius scale: the Celsius degree is indicated with ºC. It is based on the freezing point of water (placed at 0ºC) and the boiling point of water (100ºC).
- Kelvin scale: the Kelvin is indicated with K. it is based on the concept of "absolute zero" temperature, which is the temperature at which matter stops moving, and it is placed at zero Kelvin (0 K), so this scale cannot have negative temperatures, since 0 K is the lowest possible temperature.
The expression to convert from Celsius degrees to Kelvin is:
Therefore in this problem, since the student reported a temperature of -3.5 ºK, the errors done are:
1) The Kelvin temperature cannot be negative
2) The Kelvin degree is written as K, not ºK
