A 1.000 mL sample of acetone, a common solvent sometimes used as a paint remover, was placed in a small bottle whose mass was kn

own to be 38.0015 g.
The following values were obtained when the acetone-filled bottle was weighed:
38.7798 g, 38.7795 g, and 38.7801 g.

How would you characterize the precision and accuracy of these measurements if the true mass of the acetone was 0.7791 g?

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Precision means the reputability of measurement and accuracy means how close a measurement is to the actual value. To get the measured mass of the acetone we need to substract the mass of the bottle from the measured mass of bottle and acetone.

The mass of the bottle is 38.0015g

⇒The mass of acetone in bottle 1= 0.7783g

⇒Mass of acetone in bottle 2= 0.7780g

⇒Mass of acetone in bottle3= 0.7786g

The measured value is near to each other. ⇒ the measurements are <u>precise</u>.

To check the <u>accuracy</u> we can compare the average value to the actual mass of the acetone.

Average of the acetone measurement is (0.7783+0.7780+0.7786)/3 = 0.7783g

The percentage of difference of the average measurement to the actual mass is = {(actual value-measured value)/actual value}x100%

={(0.7791-0.7783)/0.7791}x100%

=0.10%

So we can see the difference is very small ⇒ the measurement is accurate.

Which statement is true regarding methane and ammonia?
sukhopar [10]
The options for given question are as follow,

1) Methane molecules show hydrogen bonding. 
<span>2) Ammonia molecules show hydrogen bonding. </span>
<span>3) Methane has stronger hydrogen bonding than ammonia. </span>
<span>4) Both the compounds do not show hydrogen bonding. </span>
<span>5) Both the compounds have strong hydrogen bonding.
</span>
Answer:
            Correct answer is Option-2 (Ammonia molecules show hydrogen bonding).

Explanation:
                   Hydrogen bond interactions are formed when a partial positive hydrogen atom attached to most electronegative atom of one molecule interacts with the partial negative most electronegative element of another molecule. So, in Ammonia hydrogen gets partial positive charge as nitrogen is highly electronegative. While the C-H bond in Methane is non-polar and fails to form hydrogen bond interactions.

1. Fill in the blanks. Example: A nitrogen atom takes on a 3- charge when it forms an anion and becomes nitride. a. A magnesium
Tema [17]

Answer: a. +2, cation and magnesium ion .

b. -1,  anion, chloride

c. -2, anion, oxide

d. +1. cation , potassium ion

Explanation:

When an atom accepts an electron negative charge is created on atom and is called as anion.

When atom loses an electron positive charge is created on atom and is called as cation.

Magnesium (Mg) with atomic number of 12 has electronic configuration of 2,8,2 and thus it can lose 2 electrons to form Mg^{2+} cation and becomes magnesium ion.

Chlorine (Cl) with atomic number of 17 has electronic configuration of 2,8,7 and thus it can gain 1 electron to form Cl^{-} anion and becomes chloride.

Oxygen (O) with atomic number of 8 has electronic configuration of 2,6 and thus it can gain 2 electrons to form O^{2-} anion and becomes oxide.

Potassium (K) with atomic number of 19 has electronic configuration of 2,8,8,1 and thus it can lose 1 electron to form K^{+} cation and becomes potassium ion.

Why does increasing the temperature of a reaction cause the reaction rate to increase?
Tems11 [23]
The temperature of a reaction causes its rate of reaction to increase because the heat inputted into the solution excites the electrons that make up the solution, therefore making them move faster, colliding more often with other molecules of the solution. This increase in collision rates causes the rate of reaction to increase.
