4. If an experimental value for a given observation was 415 nm while the theoretical value

was 435.8 nm, what is the percent error of the observation?

% error of observation is 4.77%

Explanation:

Given:

Observation value = 415nm

theoretical value= 435.8nm

Percent error of observation = theoretical value- observation value/ theoretical value x 100 %

= 435.8-415/435.8= 0.04772 x 100 = 4.77%

therefore % error of observation is 4.77%

when the volume of gas is   changed from   717.73 ml   to 852 ml   the temperature will   change   from 315   c to 452   c

    calculation

this is calculated using the charles law formula

that is,   v1/t1 = v2/t2

          v1=?

        t1 = 315 c   into   kelvin = 315 +273 = 588 k

        v2 = 852   ml

        t2 = 425c + 273 =698 k

make v1   the subject of the formula ( by   multiplying both side by t1)

  v1=( v2 xt1) / t2

v1= (852 ml   x 588 k)/ 698 k= 717.73 ml
