Answer to Question #133608 in General Chemistry for Lei

Question

1.Suppose measurements were made for the unknown liquid, the value recorded for the empty container in which to record the mass of the liquid was 5.00 grams too low. All other measurements were correct. Answer each of the following in one complete sentence.
a.How would this error affect the mass of the unknown liquid?

Answer 1

According to Einstein's theory of relativity, the mass depends both on the applied kinetic energy when the body moves, and on the applied thermal energy when the body is at rest. Therefore, in this case, if the liquid was at a higher temperature, then the mass was greater. Similarly, the container according to this theory could also be with a higher temperature and mass, respectively (the liquid transferred some of its heat). Therefore, if the heat loss and concerned, and the liquid lost mass according to Einstein's theory. You also need to consider the impact of these losses in the future, are they significant or not?!
