Let us differentiate accuracy from precision. Accuracy is the nearness of the measured value to the true or exact value. On the other hand, precision is the nearness of the measured values between each other. So, for precision, select the student in which the measured values are very near to each other. That would be Student III. Now, for accuracy, let's find the average for each student.

Student I: (<span>8.72g+8.74g+8.70g)/3 = 8.72 g
Student II: (</span><span>8.56g+8.77g+8.83g)/3 = 8.72 g
Student III: (</span><span>8.50g+8.48g+8.51g)/3 = 8.50 g
Student IV: (</span><span>8.41g+8.72g+8.55g)/3 = 8.56 g

From the given results, the accurate one would be Students I and II. So, we make a compromise. Even though Student III is precise, it is not accurate. If you compare between Students I and II, the more precise data would be Student I. Therefore, the answer is Student I.</span>

lianna [129]

Answer:

saltation

Explanation:

  • Saltation is the transportation of particles by fluids such as by winds and water.  It takes place when loose matter is removed from the sea bed and gets carried by the fluid back to the surface.
  • Examples include pebbles, sand, and soil. Saltation layers can form during avalanches.

How many grams of calcium nitrate are needed to make 3.30 L of a 0.10 M solution?
ki77a [65]
54.15 g
First you start out with the equation n=cv (n= moles, c=molarity, v= volume)
You’re going to multiply 0.10M by 3.30L to get an answer of 0.33 moles of Ca(NO3)2
From there you’re gonna convert the moles to grams to get your answer, first you have to find the molar mass of Ca(NO3)2
This can be done by finding adding the molar mass of each individual substance
The answer you should get for the molar mass is 164.1 g
From there just multiply the number of moles you calculated (0.33 mol) by the molar mass (164.1 g) and your answer is going to be 54.15 g Ca(NO3)2
