The melting point of Paradichlorobenzene is 53.0C .In a laboratory activity two students try to verify this value .The first student records 51.5C,53.5C ,55.0C,52.3C and 54.2C.The second student records 52.3C,53.2C,54.0C AND 53.5C. A. Calculate the average value for the two students. B. Calculate the Percent error for each student. C. Which student is most precise ?Most accurate? Explain.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a. 53.3°C.

b.  Percent error for both students is 53.3°C

c. Both students are equal in accuracy.

2nd student is most precise

Explanation:

The percent error is defined as:

|M - T| / T * 100

Where M is measurement,

and T is theoretical value

a. To obtain the average of both measurements we need to sum the measurements and divide these in the number of measurements:

51.5°C+53.5°C+55.0°C+52.3°C+54.2°C+52.3°C+53.2°C+54.0°C+53.5°C / 9

= 53.3°C

b. Percent error for 1st student:

51.5°C+53.5°C+55.0°C+52.3°C+54.2°C / 5 = 53.3°C

|53.3°C - 53.0°C| / 53°C * 100

0.57%

Percent error for 2nd student:

52.3°C+53.2°C+54.0°C+53.5°C / 4 = 53.3°C

|53.3°C - 53.0°C| / 53°C * 100

0.57%

c. Now, precision is how close are the measurements to each other and the accuracy how close are the measurements to the theoretical value:

The accuracy is obtained with percent error, the lower percent error the most accurate measurement. That means:

both students are equal in accuracy.

And precision is obtained with relative standard desviation.

Desviation standard / Average * 100

(We can solve the standard desviation in a scientific calculator):

1st student:

2.65%

2nd student:

1.34%

The lower RSD the most precise measurements.

2nd student is most precise

The Synthesis Reaction of aluminum (Al) and iodine (I) forms a new, more complex
product. What is the product?

Answers

Answer:

Aluminum iodide (AlI₃)

Explanation:

The synthesis reaction of aluminum (Al) and iodine (I) can be illustrated as shown below:

Aluminium exhibit trivalent positive ion (Al³⁺)

Iodine exhibit univalent negative ion (I¯)

During reaction, there will be an exchange of ion as shown below:

Al³⁺ + I¯ —> AlI₃

Thus, we can write the balanced equation for the reaction as follow:

Al + I₂ —› AlI₃

There are 2 atoms of I on the left side and 3 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of AlI₃ and 3 in front of I₂ as shown below:

Al + 3I₂ —› 2AlI₃

There are 2 atoms of Al on the right side and 1 atom on the left side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of Al as shown below:

2Al + 3I₂ —› 2AlI₃

Thus the equation is balanced.

The product on the reaction is aluminum iodide (AlI₃)

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells have a cell membrane, which defines the limit between the environment surrounding the cell and the cell itself.

Eukaryotic cells can be either animal cells or plant cells. Plant cells, apart from the membrane, are surrounded by a cell wall that is thick and conformed by carbohydrates and peptides. This cell wall makes the cell resistant and gives it its shape. Animal cells, on the other hand, do not have cell walls, they only have the cell membrane, that regulates the entrance of nutrients and the exit of metabolic products.

1. What is the difference between a chemical and physical change?

2. What is the difference between a property and change?

Answers

Physical change changes it’s physical look but doesn’t change what it is or it’s composition. Chemical change changes the composition.

Physical properties are those that can be observed without changing the identity of the substance. Chemical properties are those that can be observed only when a substance is changed into a new substance. ... Chemical changes are changes that occur when one substance is turned into another substance.

Answer:

1. What is the difference between a chemical and physical change?

physical change :-

no substance is formedproperties of components before and after are the samereversibleexample:- solubility, melting, condensation and boiling

chemical change :-

new substance is formedproperties of components before and after are differentirreversible example:- burning, rusting, oxidation and neutralisation

2. What is the difference between a property and change

change:-

A physical change in a substance doesn't actually change what the substance is. It remains the same. In a chemical change where there is a chemical reaction, a new substance is formed and energy is either given off or absorbed.

property:-

A physical property is an aspect that can be observed or measured without being changed. A chemical property may only be observed by changing the chemical identity or substance.

As the marble rolls down the ramp, it gathers speed because it starts out slow and as it gets closer to the ground/table it gets faster because of the revolutions per second that the marble takes while going down.
