Taking the average of more measurements decreases random error of measurement

Taking the average of many measurements is the most effective way to reduce random errors in a measurement. Because the certainty of the results grows as the number of data does, Less risk of random errors means that the value is more certain. Fewer measurements lead to less reliable data collection, which raises the likelihood of random errors.

The complete question is

Which procedure(s) decrease(s) the random error of a measurement: (1) taking the average of more measurements: (2) calibrating the instrument; (3) taking fewer measurements? Explain

mixer [17]

Answer:

6.66 s will it take for [AB] to reach 1/3 of its initial concentration 1.50 mol/L.

Explanation:

$Rate = k[AB]^2$

The order of the reaction is 2.

Integrated rate law for second order kinetic is:

$\frac{1}{[A_t]} = \frac{1}{[A]_0}+kt$

Where, $[A_0]$ is the initial concentration = 1.50 mol/L

$[A_t]$ is the final concentration = 1/3 of initial concentration = $\frac{1}{3}\times 1.50\ mol/L$ = 0.5 mol/L

Rate constant, k = 0.2 L/mol*s

Applying in the above equation as:-

$\frac{1}{0.5} = \frac{1}{1.50}+0.2t$

$\frac{1}{1.5}+0.2x=\frac{1}{0.5}$

$t = 6.66\ s$

<u>6.66 s will it take for [AB] to reach 1/3 of its initial concentration 1.50 mol/L.</u>
