Bud N. Chemist must determine the density of a mineral sample. His four trials yield densities of 4.77 g/cm3 , 4.67 g/cm3 , 4.69

g/cm3 , and 4.81 g/cm3 . Independent studies found the correct density to be 4.75 g/cm3 . Which of the following statements represents the best analysis of the data? A) Bud's results have much greater accuracy than precison B) Bud's results have much greater precision than accuracy C) Bud's results have high accuracy and high precision D) Bud's results have low accuracy and low precision E) Bud's equipment is faulty

Answer:

A

Explanation:

PRECISION AND ACCURACY ARE TERMS THAT ARE USED TO INDICATE THE QUALITY OF A GIVEN SET OF STATISTICAL OBSERVATIONS.

WHILE PRECISION TALKS ABOUT THE LEVEL OF AGREEMENT AMONGST THE SAME SET OF DATA OBSERVATIONS, ACCURACY TALKS ABOUT HOW FAR OR HOW CLOSE THE TRUE VALUE IS TO THE CALCULATED VALUE. TAKING AN AVERAGE OF ALL THE VALUES, IT STANDS AT 4.735 WHICH IS QUITE CLOSE TO THE TRUE VALUE OF 4.75

NOW, LOOKING AT THE SPREAD OF THE VALUES IN THE OBSERVATION, WE CAN SEE THAT THESE VALUES ARE QUITE NOT CLOSE TO EACH OTHER. HENCE, WE CAN CONCLUDE THAT ALTHOUGH HIS OBSERVATIONS ARE QUITE QUITE ACCURATE BASED ON THE OVERALL AVERAGE, WE CAN CONFIDENTLY POSIT THAT HIS VALUES HAVE A LOW LEVEL OF PRECISION

A standard 1.00 kg mass is to be cut from a bar of steel having an equilateral triangular cross section with sides equal to 2.50
Elden [556K]

Answer:

The section of the bar is 2.92 inches.

Explanation:

Mass of the steel cut ,m = 1.00 kg = 1000 g

Volume of the steel bar = V = Area × height

Height of the of the  section of bar = h

Area of  Equilateral triangular = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}a^2

a = 2.50 inches

Cross sectional area of the steel mass = A

A=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}(2.50 inches)^2=2.71 inches^2

V = 2.71 inches^2\times h

Density of the steel = d =7.70 g/cm^3

1cm^3 = 0.0610237 inches^3

d=\frac{m}{v}

\frac{7.70 g}{0.0610237 inches^3}=\frac{ 1000 g}{2.71 inches^2\times h}

h=\frac{ 1000 g\times 0.0610237 inches^3}{2.71 inches^2\times 7.70 g}

h = 2.92 inches

The section of the bar is 2.92 inches.

How many particles are in 7.07x10^-6 moles of a substance?
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

4.25*10^18

Explanation:

1 mole =6.023*10^23 particles

so 7.07*10^-6 mole=6.023*10^23*7.07*10^-6 particles=4.25*10^18 particles

How many moles of hydrogen gas can be produced if 0.78 moles of hydrochloric acid reacts with excess solid zinc according to the
White raven [17]

Answer:

The answer to your question is It will be formed 0.39 moles of H₂

Explanation:

Data

moles of H₂ = ?

moles of HCl = 0.78

moles of Zinc = excess

Balanced chemical reaction

              2 HCl  +  Zn  ⇒  1 H₂  +  ZnCl₂

Process

1.- Use proportions to solve this problem. Consider the coefficients of the balanced reaction.

               2 moles of HCl ---------------------- 1 mol of H₂

               0.78 moles of HCl -----------------  x

               x = (0.78 x 1) / 2

- Simplification

              x = 0.78 / 2

- Result

              x = 0.39 moles of H₂
