Jamie is measuring the mass of one mole of carbon. She measures the mass 4 times, achieving the following measurements: 11.86 g,

11.87 g, 11.89 g, and 11.90 g. If the accepted value of one mole of carbon is 12.11 g, how can Jamie's measurements best be described

Distinguish between Accuracy and Precision Question Jamie is measuring the mass of one mole of carbon. She measures the mass 4 times, achieving the following measurements: 11.86 g, 11.87 g, 11.89 g, and 11.90 g. If the accepted value of one mole of carbon is 12.11 g, how can Jamie's measurements best be described?

Select the correct answer below:

Jamie's measurements are both precise and accurate,

Jamie's measurements are accurate but not precise.

Jamie's measurements are precise but not accurate,

Jamie's measurements are neither precise nor accurate,

Answer : The correct option is, Jamie's measurements are precise but not accurate.

Explanation :

Accuracy : It is defined as the closeness of a measured value to a standard or known value.

For Example: If the mass of a substance is 50 kg and one person weighed 48 kg and another person weighed 55 kg. Then, the weight measured by first person is more accurate.

Precision : It is defined as the closeness of two or more measurements to each other.

For Example: If you weigh a given substance five times and you get 1.8 kg each time. Then the measurement is said to be precise.

Level of precision is determined by the maximum number of decimal places.

As we are given that:

The measurements are, 11.86, 11.87, 11.89 and 11.90

The accepted value is, 12.11

The average of these values =  \frac{11.86+11.87+11.89+11.90}{4}=11.88

From this we conclude that, these measurements are close to each other that means they are precise. But the accepted value are not equal to average of four values that means they are not accurate.

Hence, the correct option is, Jamie's measurements are precise but not accurate.

Write the chemical equation for the dissolution reaction of solid iron(iii) hydroxide in water. include the phases of all specie
Allushta [10]
When solid <span>iron (iii) hydroxide is dissolved into water, it ionizes or it dissociates into ions. These ions are the iron (iii) ions and the hydroxide ions. Iron(III) oxide is classified as a base when in aqueous solution since it produces hydroxide ions. It is a weak base so it does not completely dissociate into the solution. The dissociation equation would be:

Fe(OH)3 <-----> Fe3+ + OH-

To write a complete reaction, the reaction should be balanced wherein the number of atoms of each element in the reactant side and the product side should be equal. Also, the phases of the substances should be written. We do as follows:

</span>
Fe(OH)3 (s)  <-----> Fe3+ (aq) + 3OH- (aq)

How many sigma bonds does NBr3 have?
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

It has 3 sigma bonds

Explanation:

A sigma bond is a covalent interaction between two atoms, these bonds are the strongest type of covalent bonds and they are formed by the overlap of atomic orbitals.

The nitrogen is bond to the bromine atoms through sigma bonds, which means that exist 3 sigma bonds in the molecule.

this molecule has a trigonal pyramid geometry due to the free pair of nitrogen electrons.
