Based on the data obtained from the reaction, the following conclusions can be made;

according to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the product was higher than the reactant because of the mass of oxygen added during the combustion.
the percent yield is less than 100% because of loss in mass of either reactants or products.
the errors could have occurred during the weighing and transfer of reactants and products
repeated measurements are required in order to improve accuracy

<h3>What is the percent yield of the reaction?</h3>

Equation of the reaction is given below:

2 Mg + O₂ ----> 2 MgO

Trial 1

Mass of empty crucible with lid = 26.698 (g)

Mass of Mg metal, crucible, and lid = 27.040 (g)

Mass of MgO, crucible, and lid = 27.198 (g)

Mass of metal = 27.040 - 26.698 = 0.342

Mass of MgO = 27.198 - 26.698 = 0.500

<h3>Moles of Mg used</h3>

moles of Mg = mass/molar mass

molar mass of Mg = 24 g

moles of Mg = 0.342/24 = 0.01425

<h3>Moles of MgO expected</h3>

Based on the equation of reaction;

moles of MgO expected = 0.01425

moles of MgO produced = mass/molar mass

molar mass of MgO = 40 g/mol

moles of MgO produced = 0.500/40 = 0.0125

<h3>Percent yield</h3>

Percent yield = (moles of MgO produced/moles of MgO expected) * 100%

Percentage yield = 0.0125/0.01425 * 100%

Percent yield of MgO = 87.7%

Trial 2

Mass of empty crucible with lid = 26.691 (g)

Mass of Mg metal, crucible, and lid = 27.099 (g)

Mass of MgO, crucible, and lid = 27.361 (g)

Mass of metal = 27.099 - 26.691 = 0.408

Mass of MgO = 27.361 - 26.691 = 0.670

<h3>Moles of Mg used</h3>

moles of Mg = mass/molar mass

molar mass of Mg = 24 g

moles of Mg = 0.408/24 = 0.0170

<h3>Moles of MgO expected</h3>

Based on the equation of reaction;

moles of MgO expected = 0.0170

moles of MgO produced = mass/molar mass

molar mass of MgO = 40 g/mol

moles of MgO produced = 0.670/40 = 0.01675

<h3>Percent yield</h3>

Percent yield = (moles of MgO produced/moles of MgO expected) * 100%

Percent yield = 0.01675/0.0170 * 100%

Percent yield of MgO = 98.5%

Average percent yield = (87.7 + 98.5)% / 2

Average percent yield = 89.0%

Based on the data obtained from the reaction, the following conclusion can be made;

according to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the product was higher than the reactant because of the mass of oxygen added during the combustion.
the percent yield is less than 100% because of loss in mass of either reactants or products.
the errors could have occurred during the weighing and transfer of reactants and products
repeated measurements are required in order to improve accuracy

Erase all the trajectories, and fire the pumpkin vertically again with an initial speed of 14 m/s. As you found earlier, the max

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

$\theta=39.49^{\circ}$

Explanation:

Maximum height of the pumpkin, $H_{max}=9.99\ m$

Initial speed, v = 22 m/s

We need to find the angle with which the pumpkin is fired. the maximum height of the projectile is given by :

$H_{max}=\dfrac{v^2\ sin^2\theta}{2g}$

On rearranging the above equation, to find the angle as :

$\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{\sqrt{2gH_{max}}}{v})$

$\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 9.99}}{22})$

$\theta=39.49^{\circ}$

So, the angle with which the pumpkin is fired is 39.49 degrees. Hence, this is the required solution.

If two normal distributions each have the same mean, but one has a standard deviation of 1 and the other has a standard deviatio

likoan [24]

In comparison to a distribution with a standard deviation of 5, one has a curve with a higher peak. The variability will be greater the larger the standard deviation. It denotes increased variability in a distribution with a standard deviation of 5.

<h3>What do you mean by the term standard deviation?</h3>

The term "standard deviation" (or "") refers to a measurement of the data's dispersion from the mean. A low standard deviation implies that the data are grouped around the mean, whereas a large standard deviation shows that the data are more dispersed. In contrast, a high or low standard deviation indicates that the data points are, respectively, above or below the mean. A standard deviation that is close to zero implies that the data points are close to the mean. the curve at the top is more dispersed and has a greater standard deviation than the curve at the bottom, which is more concentrated around the mean and has a lower standard deviation.
