Answer:
Explanation:
Chemistry is the study of matter and the changes that matter undergoes. Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space.
Ionic bonds are formed when a cation and an anion transfer electrons. The anion gains electrons from the cation to finish its shell, and is usually a nonmetal or a metalloid. A cation gives the anion its electrons to get rid of its partial shell. Cations are metals.
Answer:
- <em>The average mass of calcium in each sample is: </em><u>0.978 g</u>
<em />
- <em>The absolute uncertainty is: </em><u>0.008 g</u>
Explanation:
The <em>absolute uncertainty </em>of the total samples indicated in the statement is ± 0.1 g.
When you multiply or divide quantities with uncertainties, you calculate the final uncertanty by adding the <em>relative uncertainties</em> together.
The relative uncertainty is the absolute uncertainty divided by the quantity:
- Relative uncertainty = 0.1g / 12.2 g = 0.008
The average mass of calcium is calculated using proportions, along with the molar masses:
- Molar mass of calcium: 40.078 g/ mol (from a periodic table)
- Molar mass of calcite: 100.085 g/mol (given)
Proportion:
- 40.078 g of calcium / 100.085 g of calcite = x / 12.2 g of calcite
- x = 12.2 × 40.078 / 100.085 g = 4.89 g calcium
So the total mass of calcium in the five samples is 4.89 g, and the average mass in each sample is:
- Average mass = total mass of five samples / number of samples
- Average mass = 4.89 g / 5 = <u>0.978 g of calcium</u>
So, the first answer is that the average mass of calcium in each sample is 0.978 g ( keep 3 signficant figures, such as the quntitiy 12.2 shows, as you have only used multiplication and division).
The absolute uncertainty of each sample is the relative uncertainty multiplied by the average mass of calcium of the five samples, rounded to one decimal:
- Absolute uncertainty = 0.978 g × 0.008 ≈ 0.008 g
The answer to the secon question is that the absolute uncertaingy of calcium in each sample is 0.008 g.
