- Who is taller, a man who is 1.62 in tall or a woman who is 5 ft 6 in. tall?arrow_forwardTwo students measured the freezing point of a sample of pure benzene. Student A used an ordinary laboratory thermometer calibrated in 0.1 ℃ units. Student B used a thermometer certified by NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) and calibrated in 0.01 °C units. Their results were as follows: Student A: 52 °C, 5.7 °C, 5.5 °C, 5.2 °C Student B: 5.48 °C, 5.52 °C, 5.50 °C, 5.54 °C Calculate the average value for A and B and, knowing the freezing point of benzene is 5.50 °C (and using kelvins for temperature), calculate the percent error for each student. Which student has the smaller error?arrow_forwardWhich would weigh more? 100 mL of water or 100 mL of cyclohexene?

- In lab, you determine that the mass of a Florence flask and a piece of aluminum foil weigh 39.964 g. After performing the experiment on an unknown, you find that the flask, foil, and condensed vapors weigh 40.312 g. The flask was removed at 91.7oC when all the liquid was vaporized. At the end of the experiment you place the Florence flask and foil on the balance, fill the flask with water at 20.2∘ C, and find a mass of 163.638 g. If the current barometric pressure is 758 torr, what is the molar mass of your unknown?arrow_forwardRecord answer with correct units and correct sig figs in box provided – use scientific notation if convenient. 6) In a triple-bypass surgery, a patient required 3.00 pints of whole blood.
