Answer:

            No, in science their meanings are not the same as their everyday meanings.

Explanation:

                   In Science, Precision and Accuracy are defined as,

Accuracy:

               Accuracy is the value which is closest to the known or standard value.

Precision:

                While, Precision is the value of closeness of two measured values to each other.

Example:

             Let suppose in Chemistry Lab you weight an object as 50 g. While the actual weight of that object is 30 g. It means your reading is not accurate.

             On second measurement you find that the object weight is 31 g. This time your reading is not precise.

Calculate the number of grams of Mg needed for this reaction to release enough energy to increase the temperature of 78 mL of wa
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

We need 1.1 grams of Mg

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume of water = 78 mL

Initial temperature = 29 °C

Final temperature = 78 °C

The standard heats of formation

−285.8 kJ/mol H2O(l)

−924.54 kJ/mol Mg(OH)2(s)

Step 2: The equation

The heat is produced by the following reaction:

Mg(s)+2H2O(l)→Mg(OH)2(s)+H2(g)

Step 3: Calculate the mass of Mg needed

Using the standard heats of formation:

−285.8 kJ/mol H2O(l)

−924.54 kJ/mol Mg(OH)2(s)

Mg(s) + 2 H2O(l) → Mg(OH)2(s) + H2(g)

−924.54 kJ − (2 * −285.8 kJ) = −352.94 kJ/mol Mg

(4.184 J/g·°C) * (78 g) * (78 - 29)°C = 15991.248 J required

(15991.248 J) / (352940 J/mol Mg) * (24.3 g Mg/mol) = 1.1 g Mg

We need 1.1 grams of Mg
