The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

An atom of lead has a radius of 154 pm and the average orbitalspeed of the electron in it is about 1.8x10^{8} m/s. Calculate the least possible uncertainty in a measurement of the speed of an electron in an atom of lead. Write your answer as a percentage of the average speed, and round it to significant 2 digits.

Answer: v% = 0.21 m/s

Explanation: To calculate the uncertainty, use <u>Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle</u>, which states that:  ΔpΔx≥\frac{h}{4\pi }

where h is <u>Planck's constant</u> and it is equal to 6.626.10^{-34}m²kg/s.

Since p (momentum) is p = m.v:

mΔv.Δx ≥ \frac{h}{4\pi }

Δv = \frac{h}{4\pi.x.m }

Given that: r = x = 1.54.10^{-10}m and mass of an electron is m=9.1.10^{-31}kg

Δv = \frac{6.626.10^{-34} }{4.3.14.1.54.10^{-10}.9.1.10^{-31}}

Δv = 0.0376.10^{7}

As percentage of average speed:

Δv.\frac{1}{v}.100% = \frac{0.0376.10^{7} }{1.8.10^{8} }.10² = 0.021.10 = 0.21%

The least possible uncertainty in a speed of an electron is 0.21%.

Review the list of common titration errors. Determine whether each error would cause the calculation for moles of analyte to be
kakasveta [241]

Answer and Explanation:

<em>A funnel is in the top of the buret and a beaker is positioned underneath the buret:</em> This is correct and is necessary to fill the buret, but the funnel and the beaker has to be removed before the titration starts. The calculation for moles of analyte does not affect.

<em>A solution is being poured from a bottle into the buret via the funnel:</em> Using a funnel helps to fill the burette but it must be removed to filling the buret at 0.0 mL. In this case, the calculation for moles of analyte do not affect.

<em>Adding titrant past the color change of the analyte solution</em>: In this case, an excess of titrant is added, thus the calculation for moles of anality will be higher than it should be.

<em>Recording the molarity of titrant as 0.1 M rather than its actual value of 0.01 M</em>: In this case, the titrant is considered more concentrated than it is hence, the calculation for moles of anality will be higher than it should be.

<em>Spilling some analyte out of the flask during the titration</em>: The excess of titrant spilled out of the flask higher up the volume of titrant measured. Therefore, the calculation for moles of anality will be higher than it should be.

<em>Starting the titration with air bubbles in the buret</em>: The air inside the burette occupies measured volume, thus the volume of titrant measured will be higher than the real volume spilled in the flask. Hence the calculation for moles of anality will be higher than it should be.

<em>Filling the buret above the 0.0 mL volume mark</em>: Some volume of titrant will be spilled inside the flask but will no be measured since the buret measures the titrant below the 0.0mL mark, thus the calculation for moles of anality will be lower than it should be.

Kaylis [27]

Physical changes occur when the properties of a substance are retained and/or the materials can be recovered after the change. Chemical changes involve the formation of a new substance. Formation of a gas, solid, light, or heat are possible evidence of chemical change.

The incomplete table below shows selected characteristics of gas laws.
Elenna [48]

Explanation :

In the given case different law related to gas is given. The attached figure shows the required solution.

Boyle's law states that the pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas i.e.

P\propto \dfrac{1}{V}

PV=k

k is a constant.

Charle's law states that the volume of directly proportional to the temperature of the gas.

V\propto T

V=kT

Combined gas law is the combination of the pressure, volume and the temperature of the gas i.e.

\dfrac{PV}{T}=k

Hence, this is the required solution.
