Organic Chemistry
Chemistry in Daily LifeConsider the reaction 2N₂O(g) + 30₂(g) = 4NO₂(g) Exactly 0.0566 mol of O₂ and 0.014 mol of N₂0 were placed into a 500 ml. flask. The equilibrium concentration of NO₂ was 0.026 M. What is the value of K for this reaction?

Organic Chemistry
Chemistry in Daily LifeMany times errors are expressed in terms of percentage. The percent error is the absolute value of the difference of the true value and the experimental
value, divided by the true value, and multiplied by 100.
Percent error=|true value-experimental value |/true value x 100
Calculate the percent error for the following measurements.
a. The density of an aluminum block determined in an experiment was 2.68
g/cm³. (True value is 2.70 g/cm³.)
b. The experimental determination of iron in iron ore was 16.64%. (True value is 16.15%.)
Percent error=
c. A balance measured the mass of a 1.000-g standard as 0.9945-g.
Percent error=
