1. Three

Bess [88]

Answer:

Explination:

Given Data:

Trail 1 Trial 2 Trial 3

Student A 448.0 cm 485.6 cm 463.4 cm

Student B 450.5 cm 441.3 cm 446.8 cm

Student C 422.6 cm 445.2 cm 432.7 cm

Accepted Value = 435.0 cm

Required:

A: Accurate measurement =?

B: Reason for the answer =?

C: Precise measurement =?

D: Reason for the answer =?

Solution:

Student A:

Trail 1: 435.0 cm – 448.0 cm = (13.0 cm greater than accepted value)

Trail 2: 435.0 cm – 485.6 cm = (50.6 cm greater than accepted value)

Trial 3: 435.0 cm – 463.4 cm = (28.4 cm greater than accepted value)

Student B:

Trail 1: 435.0 cm – 450.5 cm = (14.5 cm greater than accepted value)

Trail 2: 435.0 cm – 441.3 cm = (6.3 cm greater than accepted value)

Trial 3: 435.0 cm – 446.8 cm = (11.8 cm greater than accepted value)

Student C:

Trial 1: 435.0 cm – 422.6 cm = (12.4 cm less than accepted value)

Trial 2: 435.0 cm – 445.2 cm = (10.2 cm greater than accepted value)

Trial 3: 435.0 cm – 432.7 cm = (1.3 cm less than accepted value)

A: The 3rd trial of the student C is accurate measurement = 432.7 cm.

B: The 3rd value of students’ C measurement is accurate because it is quite near to the accepted value, i.e. 435.0 cm.

As we know that Accuracy refers to the closeness of a measured value to a standard or known value.

This value has only the difference of 1.3 cm.

435.0 cm – 432.7 cm = (1.3 cm less than accepted value)

All the other have larger difference which is as above.

___________________

Student A:

1. 448.0 cm – 485.6 cm = (37.6 cm far)

2. 485.6 cm – 463.4cm = (22.2 cm far)

Student B:

1. 450.5 cm – 441.3 cm = (9.2 cm far)

2. 441.3 cm – 446.8 cm = (5.5 cm far)

Student C:

1. 422.6 cm – 445.2 cm = (22.6 cm far)

2. 445.2 cm – 432.7cm = (12.5 cm far)

So,

C: The values of Student B are more precise.

D: As we know that Precision refers to the closeness of two or more measurements to each other.

The measurements of student C are more close to each other. The values are only 9.2 cm and 5.5 cm far from each other.

A buffer is a solution that is a mixture of either a weak acid and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid. Whe

leva [86]

Answer:

a. The conjugate base of an acidic buffer will accept hydrogen protons when a strong acid is added to the solution.

b. An acidic buffer solution is a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base.

e. The weak acid of an acidic buffer will donate hydrogen protons when a strong base is added to the solution.

Explanation:

<em>Which of the statements correctly describe the properties of a buffer?</em>

a. The conjugate base of an acidic buffer will accept hydrogen protons when a strong acid is added to the solution. TRUE. The conjugate base neutralizes the excess of hydrogen protons.

b. An acidic buffer solution is a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base. TRUE.

c. An acidic buffer solution is a mixture of a weak base and its conjugate acid. FALSE. This is a basic buffer solution.

d. The weak acid of an acidic buffer will accept hydrogen protons when a strong base is added to the solution. FALSE. The weak acid will react with the hydroxyl ions from the added base.

e. The weak acid of an acidic buffer will donate hydrogen protons when a strong base is added to the solution. TRUE. These hydrogen protons will form water.

f. The conjugate base of an acidic buffer will donate hydrogen protons when a strong acid is added to the solution. FALSE. It will accept hydrogen protons.

PLEASE HELP!?!.!,! What are the products of the combustion of a hydrocarbon?

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

carbon dioxide and water

Explanation:

Example: Combustion of Methane (CH₄(g))

CH₄(g) + 2O₂(g) => CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(g)**

____________________

Note: The combustion of any hydrocarbon produces CO₂ & H₂O. That is,

Ethane (C₂H₆) + O₂ => CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

Propane (C₃H₈) + O₂ => CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

Butane (C₄H₁₀) + O₂ => CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

The issue remaining is to balance the reaction equation. For these type equation balance Carbon 1st, then Hydrogen and finish with Oxygen. Balancing in this order leaves Oxygen which can be balanced using fractions. If problem requires lowest whole number ratios of elements, simply multiply entire equation by 2 to get standard equation*

______________________

*Standard Equation is defined as the smallest whole number ratios of elements. The 'standard equation' is significant in that it is assumed to be at STP conditions; i.e., 0⁰C (=273K) & 1.0 Atmosphere pressure.

Ethane (C₂H₆) + 7/2O₂(g) => 2CO₂(g) + 3H₂O(g)

=> 2C₂H₆ + 7O₂(g) => 4CO₂(g) + 6H₂O(g) <= Standard Form of Rxn

Propane (C₃H₈) + 5O₂(g) => 3CO₂(g) + 4H₂O(g) <= Standard Form of Rxn (no need to balance with the '2' multiple)

Butane (C₄H₁₀) + 13/2O₂ => 4CO₂(g) + 5H₂O(g)

=> 2C₃H₈ + 13O₂(g) => 4CO₂(g) + 5H₂O(g) <= Standard Form of Rxn

______________________

**Also, note that water, H₂O(g), is listed as a gas. In some cases it will be listed as a liquid, H₂O(l).

In 1928, 47.5 g of a new element was isolated from 660 kg of the ore molybdenite. the percent by mass of this element in the ore

vitfil [10]

To take the percent by mass of this element, we use the formula:

% mass = (mass of element / mass of ore) * 100%

% mass = (47.5 g / (660 kg * 1000 g / kg)) * 100*
