A student completed the experiment but found that the total amount of material recovered weighed more than the original sample.

What is the most likely source of error and how may it be corrected?

Answer:

This is due to the water moisture present in the recovered sample.

Explanation:

The total amount of material recovered isn’t meant to weigh more than the original sample. However when this happens then it means there is the presence of water moisture in the recovered sample.

The recovered samples however needs to be heated to make it dry and eliminate the water moisture through evaporation.

A student builds a model of a race car. The scale is 1:15. In the scale model, the car is 8 cm tall.How tall is the actual car?
Xelga [282]

let the actual height of car be x

now, according to question,

  • \dfrac{1}{15}  =  \dfrac{8}{x}

  • x = 15 \times 8

  • x = 120 \:  \: cm

andre [41]

Answer:

Energy transfers from the metal to the water and calorimeter until they are all at room temperature.

Explanation:

CHECK THE COMPLETE QUESTION BELOW;

A metal sample is heated and placed into the water in a calorimeter at room temperature. Which statement best describes how the calorimeter can be used to determine the specific heat capacity of the metal sample?

Energy transfers to the metal from the water and calorimeter until they are all at room temperature

. Energy transfers from the metal to the water and calorimeter until they are all at room temperature.

Energy transfers to the metal from the water and calorimeter until they all reach a single temperature.

Energy transfers from the metal to the water and calorimeter until they all reach a single temperature.

EXPLANATION;

Using calorimeter to determine the specific heat capacity of the metal sample can be associated to the theory of conservation of energy because heat which is a form of energy is been transfer of heat between the metal to the water and the calorimeter, this process will proceed till single temperature is attained.

The change in the amount of temperature of the water in the calorimeter is measured in order to get the difference in heat change of the calorimeter water.

CHANGE IN HEAT CAN BE CALCULATED USING THE FORMULA.

Q = cmΔT where Q is the change in heat , c is the specific heat capacity and ΔT is the change in temperature

Morant Bay is 33 km south of Port Antonio a pigeon can fly at a speed of 1.2 m s what is the displacement of morant bay from Por
valkas [14]

Answer:

33km due south

Explanation:

Morant Bay is 33km south of Port Antonio;

  Problem: displacement of Morant bay from Port Antonio;

Displacement is a vector quantity. It is the length of path between two position and the direction inclusive.

So, it has magnitude and must be specified with a direction.

  • Therefore, the displacement of Morant Bay from Port Antonio is 33km due south.

What is the total number of sp2-hybridized carbon atoms present in the fluorophore used in the experiments
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

9

Explanation:

The structure of fluorophore used in the experiments has been drawn in the attachment. And from the drawing counting we can say that there are 9 sp2-hybridized carbon atoms present. Fiuorophores are a fluorescent chemical compound that can re-emit light upon light excitation. Normally used to produce absorbance and emission spectra.

vovangra [49]
This question is incomplete. Luckily, I found the same problem which is shown in the attached picture. To answer the question, we must know how the size and charge affect the lattice energy. The answer is: lattice energy increases with the increasing charge of the ions, and decreasing radius of the atoms. <em>Therefore, the ranking would be: A < B < C</em>.
