Distinguish between accuracy and precision in measurements

Chemistry
1 answer:
nignag [31]3 years ago
7 0

The accuracy is associated with magnitude of fractional error or relative error in that measurement

the precision of a measurement is associated with least count of the measuring instrument.

precision does not mean accuracy but both are highly demanded while making measurements in physics.

Why did Rutherford choose alpha particles in his experiment?
Georgia [21]
Rutherford used gold for his scattering experiment because gold is the most malleable metal and he wanted the thinnest layer as possible. The goldsheet used was around 1000 atoms thick. Therefore, Rutherford selected a Gold foil in his alpha scatttering experiment.

Octane has a density of 0.692 g/ml at 20∘c. how many grams of o2 are required to burn 17.0 gal of c8h18
german

156251.099 grams of O₂ are required to burn 17.0 gal of C₈H₁₈

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Density is a quantity derived from the mass and volume

Density is the ratio of mass per unit volume

With the same mass, the volume of objects that have a high density will be smaller than objects with a smaller type of mass

The unit of density can be expressed in g / cm³ or kg / m³

Density formula:

\large{\boxed{\bold{\rho~=~\frac{m}{V} }}}

ρ = density

m = mass

v = volume

1 gal equal to = 3785.41 ml

then 17.0 gal = 17 x 3785.41 = 64351.97 ml Octane

grams Octane = ρ x ml

grams Octane = 0.692 g.ml x 64351.97

grams Octane = 44531.563

molar mass Octane (C₈H₁₈) = 114

mole Octane = grams : molar mass

mole Octane = 44531.563  : 114

mole Octane = 390.627

From the reaction

C₈H₁₈ + 25/2 O₂ ⇒ 8 CO₂ + 9H₂O

mole C₈H₁₈ : mole O₂ = 1 : 25/2

mole\:O_2\:=\:\frac{25}{2} \times\:390.627

mole O₂ = 4882.846

grams O₂ = mole x molar mass

grams O₂ = 4882.846 x 32

grams O₂ = 156251.099

Why can't the reaction, ZnCl2 + H2 → Zn + 2HCI, occur naturally?
Llana [10]

Answer:

It is fairly obvious that zinc metal reacts with aqueous hydrochloric acid! The bubbles are hydrogen gas. ... In fact, electrons are being transferred from the zinc atoms to the hydrogen atoms (which ultimately make a molecule of diatomic hydrogen), changing the charges on both elements.
