Answer:

14.9075 g, 28.67%, 0.11%

Explanation:

The mean concentration of calcium = summation x / frequency

= ( 14.92 + 1491 + 14.88 + 14.92 ) /4 = 14.9075 g

Standard deviation = √(summation (x - μ)² /n) = √ ( ((14.92 - 14.9075)² +(14.91 - 14.9075)² + (14.88 - 14.9075)² + ( 14.92 - 14.9075)²) / 4) = 0.0164

b)  percent error = abs(14.9075 - 20.90) / 20.90 × 100 = 28.67%

c) relative standard deviation = standard deviation / mean × 100 = 0.0164 /  14.9075 × 100 = 0.11%

d) The accuracy of the measure is the measurement compared to the actual which according to the standard set by the instructor (5%error) is not very accurate because the percent error is high (28.67%) while the relative standard deviation is quite low ( 0.11%) which means the measurement precision is very high.

The student will have to redo the experiment because the experiment was not too accurate since the percent error is way higher than the set value (5%) although the precision was high.

Determine the missing species:
Galina-37 [17]

Answer: 4. ^{0}_{-1}\textrm{e} and ^{0}_{1}\textrm{e}

Explanation:

a) The given reaction is ^{41}_{20}\textrm{Ca}+^{x}_{y}\textrm{X}\rightarrow ^{41}_{19}\textrm {K}

As the mass on both reactant and product side must be equal:

41+x=41

x=0

As the atomic number on both reactant and product side must be equal:

20+y=19

y=-1

^{41}_{20}\textrm{Ca}+^{0}_{-1}\textrm{e}\rightarrow ^{41}_{19}\textrm {K}

b) ^{15}_{8}\textrm{O}\rightarrow ^{15}_{7}\textrm{N}+^{x}_{y}\textrm{X}

Total mass on reactant side = total mass on product side

15 =15 + x

x = 0

Total atomic number on reactant side = total atomic number on product side

8 = 7 + y

y = 1

^{15}_{8}\textrm{O}\rightarrow ^{15}_{7}\textrm{N}+^{0}_{1}\textrm{e}

What holds the two strands of a DNA molecule together?A. Ionic bonds between negatively and positively charged ionsB. Covalent b
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

D. Hydrogen bonds between complementary base pairs89

Explanation:

A DNA molecule is composed of two long polynucleotide chains made of four types of nucleotide subunits, two purines (adenine and guanine) and two pyrimidines (cytosine and thymine). These nucleotides are joined by covalent bonds forming a phosphate-sugar backbone. <em>These strands are held to one another with hydrogen bonds between the base portions of complementary nucleotides.</em>

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

If you want to find the force needed to pull a small car up a ramp, it would be best to use..
Katyanochek1 [597]

The answer is; A

By using a spring and determining the tension applied on the string by the car, it is possible to deduce the force. Determine the spring's initial tension as well as spring rate and working loads;

Rate = (Load – Initial Tension) ÷ Travel

k = (L – IT) ÷ T
