4.4ai. The price elasticity of demand is given to calculate the new price. The fruit stall has 100 peaches initially but 10 peaches are rotten. It means the number of remaining peaches is 90 units. Therefore‚ the question provides the factors such as initial quantity‚ new quantity‚ initial price which are 100‚ 90‚ 1 respectively. Let the new price be x. Therefore‚ we will choose $1.2 per unit as the new price to sell the remaining peaches. 4.4aii. Case 1: If I do not discover the

Lab experiment 12 Percent of water in a hydrate The goal of Experiment 12 was to learn how to calculate the percent of water (by mass) in barium chloride and an unknown hydrate salt‚ as well as properly calculating the water of crystallization for the unknown hydrate salt. A hydrate salt is composed of anions (-) and cations (+) surrounded by a fixed number of water molecules‚ called water of crystallization. The hydrate decomposes upon heating and

2013 Percent Yield of Calcium Carbonate Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is to examine the percent yield of a precipitate in a double displacement reaction. A solution of calcium citrate and sodium carbonate were mixed together‚ then the products were filtered out as so only the precipitate remained. The filtered paper was then dried and the mass of the precipitate in the experiment divided by the theoretical mass of the precipitate from the calculated gave the percent yield.
