The accepted value for the percent by mass of water in a hydrate is 36.0%. In a laboratory activity, a student determined the percent by mass of water in the hydrate to be 37.8%. What is the percent error for the student's measured value?(1) 5.0% (3) 1.8%

(2) 4.8% (4) 0.05%

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The original or accepted value for the percent by mass of water in a hydrate = 36%
Percen by mass of water in the hydrate determined by the student
in the laboratory = 37.8%
So the difference between the actual and the percent by mass in water determined by student = (37.8 - 36.0)%
             = 1.8%
So the percentage of error made by the student = (1.8/36) * 100 percent
                                                                             = (18/360) * 100 percent
                                                                             = ( 1/20) * 100 percent
                                                                              = 5 percent
So the student makes an error of 5%. Option "1" is the correct option.

Answers

Well, the nucleus is the center, the electrons are negative and arranged in layers, so atoms are not necessarily solid (you know, liquids, gases and plasma is made of atoms too -- plasma from ions, true)

Explain which atom L or M is more stable and why

Answers

An atom consists of a nucleus of protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons. Each of the elements in the periodic table is classified according to its atomic number, which is the number of protons in that element's nucleus. Protons have a charge of +1, electrons have a charge of -1, and neutrons have no charge. Neutral atoms have the same number of electrons and protons, but they can have a varying number of neutrons. Within a given element, atoms with different numbers of neutrons are isotopes of that element. Isotopes typically exhibit similar chemical behavior to each other.

PLEASE HELP!!!A vacuum flask keeps its contents warmer or cooler than the surrounding environment for a length of
time. It consists of two flasks, one inside the other, that connect at the neck. The space between the two
flasks is completely empty of air.

Q-Why does the design of the vacuum flask minimize heat transfer by conduction?

A)- One flask is smaller than the other flask.
B)- One flask is more reflective than the other flask.
C)- There is no air between the two flasks.
D)- The two flasks do not touch each other, except at the neck.

Answers

Answer is: C) There is no air between the two flasks.

Heat in this example can transfer throw thermal conduction.

Because there are no mo molecules to transfer heat, there is no conduction.

Thermal conduction is the transfer of heat through physical contact. Thermal conduction is the transfer of heat by microscopic collisions of particles. Heat spontaneously flows from a hotter to a colder body.

The process of heat conduction depends on four basic factors: the temperature gradient, the cross section of the materials involved, their path length and the properties of those materials.

Because there are no mo molecules to transfer heat, there is no conduction.
C. Heat could easily travel through the molecules in the air and escape/enter the flask. Removing the air slows down the heat transfer.
