Calculate the density of the aluminum cylinder with a diameter 0f 1.3 cm weighing 18 grams. Height of the cylinder is 5.2 Cm. Find percent error (Actual density of Aluminum is 2.7 g/cm3). (Formula for volume of cylinder is πr2h)

Percent error = 3.7%

Explanation:

Given data:

Density of Al cylinder = ?

Weight of cylinder = 18 g

Diameter = 1.3 cm

Height = 5.2 cm

Actual density of Al = 2.7 g/cm³

Percent error = ?

Solution:

First of all we will calculate the volume of cylinder through given formula.

V = πr²h

r = diameter /2

V = 22/7 × (0.65 cm)²× 5.2 cm

V = 22/7 × 0.4225cm²× 5.2 cm

V = 6.89 cm³

Now we will calculate the density.

d = m/v

d = 18 g/ 6.89 cm³

d = 2.6 g/cm³

Percent error:

Percent error = measured value - actual value /actual value × 100

Percent error = 2.6g/cm³ - 2.7g/cm³ /2.7g/cm³  × 100

Percent error = 3.7%

Negative sign shows that measured or experimental value is less than actual value.

the enthalpy of formation of water is given as -285.8kj/mol, which states that the enthalpy of formation is negative.

negative enthalpy of formation indicates that the heat is released during the reaction process. the heat is released from reaction to the surroundings the enthalpy is expressed with a negative sign with the energy given out in the reaction process.

the formation of water takes place by giving out heat which is -285.8 kj/mol.
