What does it mean to say that the average daytime relative humidity of a particular city is 31 percent?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Irina-Kira [14]3 years ago
5 0
This means that the air in that city has less than a third of water vapor it could contain under the same circumstances. Relative humidity is the ratio of water vapor that the air contains to the maximum amount it could carry at the same temperature. When the humidity is high the water vapor in the air is a lot and vice versa.

A single penny has a mass of 2.5 g. Abbie and James each measure the mass of a penny multiple times. Which statement about these
const2013 [10]
The question is missing the data sets.

This is the complete question:

A single penny has a mass of 2.5 g. Abbie and James each measure the mass of a penny multiple times. Which statement about these data sets is true? 

O Abbie's measurements are both more accurate and more precise than James'.

O Abbie's measurements are more accurate, but less precise, than James'. 

O Abbie's measurements are more precise, but less accurate, than James'. 

O Abbie’s measurements are both less accurate and less precise than James'. 

Penny masses (g)

Abbie’s data                                        

2.5, 2.4, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.6 

James’ data


2.4, 3.0, 3.3, 2.2, 2.9, 3.8, 2.9

Answer: first option, Abbie's measurements are both more accurate and more precise than James'.

Explanation:


1) To answer this question, you first must understand the difference between precision and accuracy.

<span>Accuracy is how close the data are to the true or accepted value.
</span>

<span>Precision is how close are the data among them, this is the reproducibility of the values.</span>

Then, you can measure the accuracy by comparing the means (averages) with the actual mass of a penny 2.5 g.

And you measure the precision by comparing a measure of spread, as it can be the standard deviation.

2) These are the calculations:

Abbie’s data                      
                 
Average: ∑ of the values / number of values 

Average = [2.5 + 2.4 + 2.3 + 2.4 + 2.5 + 2.6 + 2.6 ] / 7 = 2.47 ≈ 2.5

Standard deviation: √  [ ∑ (x - mean)² / (n - 1) ] = 0.11


James’ data


Average = [2.4 + 3.0 + 3.3 + 2.2 + 2.9 + 3.8 + 2.9] / 7 = 2.56 ≈ 2.6


Standard deviation = 0.53

3) Conclusions:

1) The average of Abbie's data are closer to the accepted value 2.5g, so they are more accurate.

2) The standard deviation of Abbie's data is smaller than that of Jame's data, so the Abbie's data are more precise.

A similarity between the forces involved in both ionic and covalent bonding is that both A. involve the sharing of electrons. B.
NISA [10]

Answer:

C. involve the attraction of opposite charges

Explanation:

<em>Ionic bonding</em> involves the attraction between <em>oppositely charged ions</em>, as in Na⁺ Cl⁻.

<em>Covalent bonding</em> involves the attraction between <em>negatively charged electrons and positivey charged nuclei</em>, as in a C-H bond.

A is <em>wrong</em>. Ionic bonding involves the transfer of electrons.

B is <em>wrong</em>. Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons.

D is <em>wrong</em>. Ionic bonds are usually stronger than covalent bonds.

The literature value for the Ksp of Ca(OH)2 at 25 °C is 4.68E−6. Imagine you ran the experiment and got a calculated value for K
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

D. The Ca[OH]2 solution may have been unsaturated

Explanation:

The solubility product constant Ksp of any given chemical compound is a term used to describe the equilibrium between a solid and the ions it contains solution. The value of the Ksp indicates the extent to which any compound can dissociate into ions in water. A higher the Ksp, implies more greater solubility of the compound in water.

If the Ksp is more than the value in literature, this false value must have arisen from the fact that the solution was unsaturated hence it appears to be more soluble than it should normally be when saturated.
