Consider a 1260-kg automobile clocked by law-enforcement radar at a speed of 85.5 km/h. If the position of the car is known to w

The expected speed is v = 85.5 km/h
 v = 85.5 km/h = (85.5 km/h)*(0.2778 (m/s)/(km/h)) = 23.75 m/s

If there is an uncertainty of 2 meters in measuring the position, then within a 1-second time interval:
The lower measurement for the speed is v₁ = 21.75 m/s,
The upper measurement for the speed is v₂ = 25.75 m/s.
The range of variation is
Δv = v₂ - v₁ = 4 m/s

The uncertainty in measuring the speed is
Δv/v = 4/23.75 = 0.1684 = 16.84%

Answer: 16.8%

Which step accurately describes how to measure the final burette volume?
8090 [49]
To accurately measure the final volume of a solution in a burette, it is important that you read of the measurement in the lower meniscus like for water and for substances like mercury you read it on the upper meniscus. This is the standard way of reading volumes in laboratory apparatus. Also, it should be that the apparatus standing vertically in a plain surface.

What is the molarity of a solution in which 25.3 grams of potassium bromide is dissolved in 150. mL of solution?
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

~1.417M

Explanation:

Molarity=(number of moles of solute)/(litres of solution)

In this case, we need to find moles of potassium bromide.

Mass=25.3g

Molar mass= 119g/mol

moles=(mass/molar mass)

        =(25.3)/(119)

        =0.2126moles of potassium bromide

Molarity=(0.2126)/(150/1000)

       ~1.417M

Hope this helps:)
