Answer:
<h2>6.41 %</h2>Explanation:
The percentage error of a certain measurement can be found by using the formula
From the question
actual density = 7.80 g/cm³
error = 7.30 - 7.80 = 0.5
We have
We have the final answer as
<h3>6.41 %</h3>Hope this helps you
There are 5.66 moles of hydrogen in the sample of talc(hydrated magnesium silicate).
Given,
Talc formula is
moles of magnesium = 8.5 moles
The stoichiometry of magnesium and hydrogen is 3 : 2,
So 3 moles of magnesium is equivalent to 2 moles of hydrogen.
Then 8.5 moles of magnesium is equivalent to =5.6666 moles
Talc(hydrated magnesium silicate), often known as talcum, is a type of clay mineral made up of hydrated magnesium silicate, having the formula Mg3Si4O10(OH)2. Baby powder is made of powdered talc, frequently mixed with corn starch. This mineral serves as a lubricant and thickening agent. It serves as a component in paint, pottery, and roofing materials. It serves as a key component in many cosmetics. It can be found as foliated to fibrous aggregates and in a remarkably uncommon crystal form. It is foliated with a two-dimensional platy form, has a flawless basal cleavage, and an irregular flat fracture.
Talc(hydrated magnesium silicate), the softest mineral, is assigned a value of 1 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, which is based on scratch hardness comparisons.

solution:
The quoted atomic mass on the Periodic Table is the WEIGHTED average of the individual isotopic masses. The higher the isotopic percentage, the MORE that isotope will contribute to the isotopic mass. For this reason, most masses that are quoted on the Table are non-integral.
By way of example we could look to the hydrogen atom. The VAST majority of hydrogen atoms (in this universe) are the protium isotope. i.e. 1H, whose nuclei contain JUST the defining proton. There is a smaller percentage (>1%) of hydrogen atoms WITH one NEUTRON in their nuclei to give the deuterium isotope. i.e. 2H, and because this is relatively cheap, and easily incorporated into a molecule, deuterium labelling is routinely used in analysis.
And there is even a smaller percentage of hydrogen atoms with TWO NEUTRONS in their nuclei, to give the tritium isotope. i.e. 3H. The weighted average of the isotopic percentages gives
