<span>1 trial : you have nothing to compare the result with - you don't know if it's a mistake.
2 trials : you can compare results - if very different, one may have gone wrong, but which one?
3 trials : if 2 results are close and 3rd far away, 3rd probably unreliable and can be rejected.

******************************

First calculate the enthalpy of fusion. M, C and m,c = mass and specific heat of calorimeter and water; n, L = mass and heat of fusion of ice; T = temperature fall.

L = (mc+MC)T/n.

c=4.18 J/gK. I assume calorimeter was copper, so C=0.385 J/gK.

1. M = 409g, m = 45g. T = 22c, n = 14g
L = (45*4.18+409*0.385)*22/14 = 543.0 J/g.

2. M = 409g, m = 49g, T = 20c, n = 13g
L = (49*4.18+409*0.385)*20/13 = 557.4 J/g.

3. M = 409g, m = 54g, T = 20c, n = 14g
L = (54*4.18+409*0.385)*20/14 = 547.4 J/g.

(i) Estimate error in L from spread of 3 results.
Average L = 549.3 J/g.
average of squared differences (variance) = (6.236^2+8.095^2+1.859^2)/3 = 35.96
standard deviation = 5.9964
standard error = SD/(N-1) = 5.9964/2 = 3 J/g approx.

% error = 3/547 x 100% = 0.5%.

(ii) Estimate error in L from accuracy of measurements:
error in masses = +/-0.5g
error in T = +/-0.5c

For Trial 3
M = 409g, error = 0.5g
m = 463-409, error = sqrt(0.5^2+0.5^2) = 0.5*sqrt(2)
n =(516-463)-(448-409)=14, error = 0.5*sqrt(4) = 1.0g
K = (mc+MC)=383, error = sqrt[2*(0.5*4.18)^2+(0.5*0.385)^2] = 2.962

L = K*T/n
% errors are
K: 3/383 x 100% = 0.77
T: 0.5/20 x 100% = 2.5
n: 1.0/14 x 100% = 7.14

% errors in K and T are << error in n, so we can ignore them.
% error in L = same as in n = 7% x 547.4 = 40 (always round final error to 1 sig fig).

*************************************

The result is (i) L= 549 +/- 3 J/g or (ii) L = 550 +/- 40 J/g.
Both are very far above accepted figure of 334 J/g, so there is at least one systematic error in the experiment or the calculations.
eg calorimeter may not be copper, so C is not 0.385 J/gK. (If it was polystyrene, which absorbs/ transmits little heat, the effective value of C would be very low, reducing L.)
Using +/- 40 is probably best (more cautious).
However, the spread in the actual results is much smaller; try to explain this discrepancy - eg
* measurements were "fiddled" to get better results; other Trials were made but only best 3 were chosen.
* measurements were more accurate than I assumed (eg masses to nearest 0.1g but rounded to 1g when written down).

Other sources of error:
L=(mc+MC)T/n is too high, so n (ice melted) may be too small, or T (temp fall) too high - why?
* it is suspicious that all final temperatures were 0c - was this actually measured or just guessed? a higher final temp would reduce L.
* we have assumed initial and final temperature of ice was 0c, it may actually have been colder, so less ice would melt - this could explain small values of n
* some water might have been left in container when unmelted ice was weighed (eg clinging to ice) - again this could explain small n;
* poor insulation - heat gained from surroundings, melting more ice, increasing n - but this would reduce measured L below 334 J/g not increase it.
* calorimeter still cold from last trial when next one started, not given time to reach same temperature as water - this would reduce n.
Hope This Helps :)

According to equation,

So,
                    17.4 g of Na will produce  =  X g of Na₂O

Solving for X,
                                   X  =  (17.4 g × 123.92 g) ÷ 91.92 g

                                   X  =  23.45 g of Na₂O

What is the empirical formula for a compound that is 29.44\% calcium, 23.55% sulfur, and 47.01% oxygen? This compound is a commo
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Empirical formula is CaSO₄.

Explanation:

Given data:

Percentage of calcium =29.44%

Percentage of sulfur = 23.55%

Percentage of oxygen = 47.01%

Empirical formula = ?

Solution:

Number of gram atoms of Ca = 29.44 / 40 = 0.74

Number of gram atoms of S = 23.55 / 32 = 0.74

Number of gram atoms of O = 47.01 / 16 = 3

Atomic ratio:

            Ca                      :        S                :         O

           0.74/0.74           :     0.74/0.74      :       3/0.74

               1                     :          1              :          4

Ca : S : O = 1 : 1 : 4

Empirical formula is CaSO₄.

Stoichiometry time! Remember to look at the equation for your molar ratios in other problems.

31.75 g Cu | 1 mol Cu | 2 mol Ag | 107.9 g Ag         6851.65
⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻   →   ⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻  = 107.9 g Ag
       ∅        | 63.5 g Cu | 1 mol Cu | 1 mol Ag              63.5


There's also a shorter way to do this: Notice the molar ratio from Cu to Ag, which is 1:2. When you plug in 31.75 into your molar mass for Cu, it equals 1/2 mol. That also means that you have 1 mol Ag because of the ratio, qhich you can then plug into your molar mass, getting 107.9 as well.
