Given that the density of air is 14.4, then the vapour of sulphur IV oxide is A. 16 B. 32 C. 64 D. 128
Thank you.
Answer:
32
Explanation:
The vapour density of a gas is the number of times a given volume of gas or vapour is as heavy as the same volume of hydrogen at a particular temperature and pressure.
Vapour density = 2 × relative molecular mass of the gas or vapour
Relative molecular mass of SO2 = 32 + 2(16) = 64
Hence;
Vapour density of SO2 = 64/2
Vapour density of SO2 = 32
11. Samantha was asked to measure out 10 g of salt in a lab. She mistakenly measures out 15 g instead. Calculate
the percent error. Make sure your answer has the correct number of significant figures!
Answer:
50%
Explanation:
Expected measurement required = 10g
Actual measurement observed = 15g
The percentage error is given as proportion the difference between the actual and expected measurement or values and the expected value value expressed as a percentage.
[(Actual - Expected) / Expected] × 100%
[(15 - 10) / 10)] × 100%
(5 / 10) × 100%
0.5 × 100%
50%
Therefore, the percentage error in the measurement is 50%
