1 trial :  nothing is given for result comparision - so we have no idea if it's a mistake.

2nd trial : The results can be compared - if varies, one may go wrong, but which one?

3rd trial : If 3rd result is different from 1st and 2nd, it is unreliable.

calculating enthalpy of fusion. M, C and m,c = mass and specific heat of calorimeter and water, n, L = mass and heat of fusion of ice; T = temperature fall.

L = (mc+MC)T/n.

c=4.18 J/gK. assuming copper calorimeter , so C=0.385 J/gK.

1. M = 409g, m = 45g. T = 22c, n = 14g

L = (45*4.18+409*0.385)*22/14 = 543.0 J/g.

2. M = 409g, m = 49g, T = 20c, n = 13g

L = (49*4.18+409*0.385)*20/13 = 557.4 J/g.

3. M = 409g, m = 54g, T = 20c, n = 14g

L = (54*4.18+409*0.385)*20/14 = 547.4 J/g.

(i) Estimate error in L from spread of 3 results.

Average L = 549.3 J/g.

squared differences average (variance) = (6.236^2+8.095^2+1.859^2)/3 = 35.96

standard deviation = 5.9964

standard error = SD/(N-1) = 5.9964/2 = 3 J/g approx.

% error = 3/547 x 100% = 0.5%.

(ii) Estimate error in L from accuracy of measurements:

error in masses = +/-0.5g

error in T = +/-0.5c

For Trial 3

M = 409g, error = 0.5g

m = 463-409, error = sqrt(0.5^2+0.5^2) = 0.5*sqrt(2)

n =(516-463)-(448-409)=14, error = 0.5*sqrt(4) = 1.0g

K = (mc+MC)=383, error = sqrt[2*(0.5*4.18)^2+(0.5*0.385)^2] = 2.962

L = K*T/n

% errors are

K: 3/383 x 100% = 0.77

T: 0.5/20 x 100% = 2.5

n: 1.0/14 x 100% = 7.14

% errors in K and T are << error in n, so ignore them.

% error in L = same as in n = 7% x 547.4 = 40

The result is (i) L= 549 +/- 3 J/g or (ii) L = 550 +/- 40 J/g.

Both are very far above  334 J/g, so there is at least one systematic error  

e.g: calorimeter may not be copper, so C is not 0.385 J/gK. (If it was polystyrene, which absorbs/ transmits little heat, the effective value of C would be very low, reducing L.)

Using +/- 40 is best.

However, the spread in the actual results is much smaller

* measurements were "fiddled" to get better results; other Trials were made but only best 3 were chosen.

<h3>Other sources of error: </h3>

L=(mc+MC)T/n is too high, so n (ice melted) may be too small, or T (temp fall) too high - why?

* we have assumed initial and final temperature of ice was 0c, it may actually have been colder, so less ice would melt -which explain small values of n

* some water might have been left in container when unmelted ice was weighed (eg clinging to ice) - again this could explain small n;

* poor insulation - heat gained from surroundings, melting more ice, increasing n - but this would reduce measured L below 334 J/g not increase it.

* calorimeter still cold from last trial when next one started, not given time to reach same temperature as water - this would reduce n.

Cells not dissolve in blood but they form a because they do not settle out of the blood either
irinina [24]

Answer;

-Suspension

Cells not dissolve in blood but they form a suspension because they do not settle out of the blood either

Explanation;

-Blood is a solution of salts, glucose, urea and a few other small compounds. It's a colloid of plasma proteins, including albumin, transport proteins and antibodies. It's also a suspension of blood cells and platelets.

-Suspensions and colloids are two common types of mixtures whose properties are in many ways intermediate between those of true solutions and heterogeneous mixtures. A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture of particles with diameters of about 1 µm (1000 nm) that are distributed throughout a second phase.

-Common suspensions include paint, blood, and hot chocolate, which are solid particles in a liquid, and aerosol sprays, which are liquid particles in a gas.

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

D. 12cm

Explanation:

there are 8 A1, C1 and so on alleles there, this will be 8 cm and there are about 8 a2 and so on alleles,  this will be 4cm.

8 + 4 = 12cm

Kenny has a sore throat and visits the doctor. The nurse collects a throat swab, places the swab on a petri dish, and then place
Doss [256]
The answer is C: because growth at 37°C would be ideal for revealing bacteria that are human pathogens. 37°C is equivalent to 98.6°F, the normal body temperature for humans. If bacteria are reproducing at this temperature in a petri dish, they are also most likely reproducing in the body. 

Cultures are made so doctors can be sure a person is sick with a specific bacteria often in order to make sure they are taking the right medication to get better. Choice A doesn't make sense, because we wouldn't want to kill the bacteria we are trying to study. Bacteria that makes us sick is harmful bacteria and is what we are trying to isolate. Choice B doesn't make sense, because they are only being incubated at one temperature, not a range or variety. Choice D is harder to rule out, but again the doctor wants the bacteria to reproduce so they can be sure that's what is causing the infection, so it wouldn't make sense that we would put the bacteria in a temperature they would not reproduce.
