After creating her standard curve for absorption versus the concentration (M) of FD&C Red 40 and processing her data, Sally found that her drinking strength Kool-Aid sample had a concentration of 4.692 x 10–5 M. If 0.132 grams of Kool-Aid powder was used to prepare an 8-fl oz cup of her assigned flavor, what is the percent by mass of FD&C Red 40 in her Kool-aid powder? Report your answer as a percentage with two places after the decimal. Do not include the percentage sign in your answer. Pay attention to units. You are trying to find the mass percentage of red dye, so you need to know each variable in the equation in Appendix B. Note that the percent by mass equation should be multiplied by 100. There may be some useful conversion factors in the experimental procedure.
You must enter the answer with one number pass the decimal. ** You perform a distillation of a certain liquid at two different pressures The first distillation was done on a day when the pressure was 760 mmHg. The boiling point (the range where we saw drips come over) is 365. This is in Kelvin. (This is the normal boiling point of that liquid) Then you connected the adapter to a vacuum. The liquid now boils at 348 Kelvin. The enthalpy of vaporization in kJ/mol is 29.1 Hint: Clausius Clapeyron equation In(P2/P1) =DHvap/R* (T2-T1)/(T2T1) or In(P2/P1) =DHvap/R* (1/T1 - 1/T2) R = 8.3145 J/mol K
1. A student weighs an empty special round bottom flask and stopper. He finds the mass to be 56.972 g. He then adds about 5 mL of an unknown liquid and heats the flask in a boiling water bath at 100°C. He allows all the liquid to vaporized and then removes the flask from the bath, stoppers it, and lets it cool. Upon cooling, he briefly removes the stopper, then replaces it and weighs the flask and condensed vapor, obtaining a mass of 57.917 g. The volume of the flask is known to be 240.2 mL. The barometric pressure in the laboratory that day is 743 mm Hg. What was the pressure of the vapor in the flask in atm? O 0.9776 atm 0.98 atm 0.978 atm 0.977 atm
2.A student is trying to determine the volume of a flask and compare it to the known volume. After performing the measurements 10 times, the student calculates an RSD of 2 ppt, with a percent error of 24%. Which of the following statements about the results are correct? A. The line fits the points on the calibration curve well. B. The results are precise and accurate. C. The results are accurate, but not precise. D. The results are precise, but not accurate. E The results are neither accurate nor precise.
You try your best to put your samples in the middle of the balance pan when you try to weigh them every time. However, you know that it is impossible to place your samples in the same location each time. This discrepancy introduces error to your measurements. systematic random
