    For each of the following errors, tell whether your calculated molecular weight would be too high, too low, or unaffected. a) unawares, you inadvertently spilled some solute(so it didn't make it into the test tube) after it was weighed out. b) your thermometer is poorly calibrated and reads 0.3C lower than the actual temperature. c) while mixing the solution you spilled some over the sides of the test tube. Assume the solution was well mixed before the spill occurred.

A student masses an empty flask, aluminum foil (witha small pinhole), and copper wire and finds the mass to be 54.8680 g. She then adds about 5.0 mL of an unknown liquid and heats the flask in a hot waterbath to 95.0 °C. After all the liquid is vaporized, she removes the flask from the bath and masses it after it has cooled. The mass...

    DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. If the liquid did not completely vaporize in the experiment, would the ap- parent molecular weight be larger, smaller, or unchanged compared to that determined if the experiment had been properly performed? Would the error in part (1) have a larger, smaller, or the same effect as the errors that might be made in measuring the temperature of the water in the flask, the barometric pressure, or the volume of the flask? Explain your answer. 2. What...

    Detail and calculate (explain and show calculations or values used) how you would determine the amount of energy it would take to heat 100 lbm, of water at 40F to 230F. Assume that atmospheric pressure is held at 14.696 psi during the entire heating process. Specific heat of liquid water can be assumed to equal 1.0 Btu/(lbm F) while for steam 0.45 Btu/(lbm-F).
