The accepted value of the melting point of aspirin is 135°C. Trying to verify that value, you obtain 134°C, 136°C, 133°C, and 138°C in four separate trials. Your partner finds 138°C, 137°C, 138°C, and 138°C. A) Calculate the average value for you and your partner. B) Calculate the error for each value for you and your partner. C) Calculate the percent error for each value for you and your partner.

Thank you I got the correct answer however I am unable to get the same answer on my calculator. I keep getting 3.1645425X10^-54. I don't know what I am plugging in incorrectly. This is what I plug in (6.626X10^-34)/(1.67X10^-27)(9.11X10^6)
part 1 Which of the following is a best practice in weighing solid samples? Use weighing paper, a watch glass, a beaker, or some other container to measure mass of your solid samples. Do not return the mass settings to zero mark; let the next user tare it for you. Place chemicals directly on the balance pan. For different trials of an experiment, use multiple balances for your measurements

Advertised mass of Fe2+ per tablet is 18mg Trail 1 = 0.0200 g and Trail 2 = 0.00794 g Calculate the percent error from the advertised value for both trial 1 and trail 2. Provide one source of error (not human error) to account for your percent error, and explain how this source of error led to a higher or lower value (depending on your results) for the mass of iron in the vitamin tablet.
1. A farmer needs to administer a dose of albendazole dewormer to a cow that weighs 992 lbs. The dosage recommended by his veterinarian is 10 mg per kg of body weight. How many mg of albendazole should the farmer administer? [1 kg = 2.205 lbs] Calculate the weight of this cow in kg. Round to 4 decimal places. Then, using the exact weight in kg (not your rounded weight) and the medical conversion, determine the dose that the cow should get in mg. Round to two decimal places.Using your answer from the previous slide, if albendazole is only available as a liquid, and each milliliter of the liquid contains 125 mg of albendazole, how many mL of the liquid should the farmer administer? Round to two decimal places. 2.The doctor orders a single dose of 20 mg/kg for every does dose of amoxicillin oral suspension for a toddler who weighs 25 lbs.

1. A student weighs an empty special round bottom flask and stopper. He finds the mass to be 56.972 g. He then adds about 5 mL of an unknown liquid and heats the flask in a boiling water bath at 100°C. He allows all the liquid to vaporized and then removes the flask from the bath, stoppers it, and lets it cool. Upon cooling, he briefly removes the stopper, then replaces it and weighs the flask and condensed vapor, obtaining a mass of 57.917 g. The volume of the flask is known to be 240.2 mL. The barometric pressure in the laboratory that day is 743 mm Hg. What was the pressure of the vapor in the flask in atm? O 0.9776 atm 0.98 atm 0.978 atm 0.977 atm
