Answer:
No, 22.09% is not a valid measurement
Explanation:
Precision has to do with how close a given set of measured values are to each other. It is quite different from accuracy. Accuracy refers to how close a given set of values is to the true value. A given set of values may be precise but not accurate and vice versa.
If we look at the values obtained; 22.09%, 22.15%, 22.18%, 22.23%, 22.25%, the value 22.09% is too far off the other values. This implies that it does not represent a valid measurement since it is not close to all the other values obtained.
Answer:
1. The oxidation half-reaction is: Mn(s) ⇄ Mn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻
2. The reduction half-reaction is: Ag⁺(aq) + 1e⁻ ⇄ Ag(s)
Explanation:
Main reaction: 2Ag⁺(aq) + Mn(s) ⇄ 2Ag(s) + Mn²⁺(aq)
In the oxidation half reaction, the oxidation number increases:
Mn changes from 0, in the ground state to Mn²⁺.
The reduction half reaction occurs where the element decrease the oxidation number, because it is gaining electrons.
Silver changes from Ag⁺ to Ag.
1. The oxidation half-reaction is: Mn(s) ⇄ Mn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻
2. The reduction half-reaction is: Ag⁺(aq) + 1e⁻ ⇄ Ag(s)
To balance the hole reaction, we need to multiply by 2, the second half reaction:
Mn(s) ⇄ Mn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻
(Ag⁺(aq) + 1e⁻ ⇄ Ag(s)) . 2
2Ag⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ ⇄ 2Ag(s)
Now we sum, and we can cancel the electrons:
2Ag⁺(aq) + Mn(s) + 2e⁻ ⇄ 2Ag(s) + Mn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻
Answer:
24.32
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Isotope A:
Mass of A = 24
Abundance (A%) = 78.70%
Isotope B
Mass of B = 25
Abundance (B%) = 10.13%
Isotope C:
Mass of C = 26
Abundance (C%) = 11.17%
Average atomic mass of Mg =..?
The average atomic mass of Mg can be obtained as illustrated below:
Average atomic mass = [(Mass of A × A%)/100] + [(Mass of B × B%)/100] + [(Mass of C × C%)/100]
Average atomic mass = [(24 × 78.70)/100] + [(25 × 10.13)/100] + [(26 × 11.17)/100]
= 18.888 + 2.5325 + 2.9042
= 24.3247 ≈ 24.32
Therefore, the average atomic mass of magnesium (Mg) is 24.32

Explanation:
Alkenes undergo hydrogenation to give the corresponding alkanes. Where the structure of the original alkene is unknown, we can deduce the structure of the alkene from the structure of the products obtained when it undergoes various chemical reactions.
Now, the fact that we obtained 2-methylhexane upon hydrogenation and the two compounds had different heats of hydrogenation means that the two compounds were geometric isomers. The original compounds must have been cis-2-methyl-3-hexene and trans-2-methyl-3-hexene.
When reacted with HCl, the same compound C7H15Cl is formed because the stereo chemistry is removed.
However, we know that the trans isomer is more stable than the cis isomer hence the cis isomer always has a higher heat of hydrogenation than the trans isomer. Thus X is cis-2-methyl-3-hexene.
