Three apprentice tailors (X, Y, and Z) are assigned the task of measuring the seam of a pair of trousers. Each one makes three m

easurements. The results in inches are X (26.5, 26.6, 26.4); Y (27.8, 27.3, 27.7); Z (26.9, 27.2, 27.1). The true length is 27.0 in. Comment on the precision and the accuracy of each tailor's measurements.

Answer:

Explanation:

<u>Precision generally refers to the repeatability of measurements. That is, the closeness of repeated meaurements in values. Accuracy, on the other hand, refers to the closeness of a measured value to the true value.</u>

For apprentice X, the three measurements taken (26.5, 26.6, 26.4) were close in values with an average of 26.5 and a mean deviation of 0.07. Hence, the apprentice is said to be precise in measurement. However, the average of the measurement is quite far from the true length of meaurement. Hence, the apprentice is inaccurate.

Apprentice Y had a mean measurement value of 27.6 and a mean deviation of 0.2. The measurements are far from each other and the apprentice is therefore said to be far from being precise. The mean measurement value is also far from true value. Hence the apprentice is also inaccurate in his/her measurement.

Apprentice Z has a mean measurement of 27.07 and a mean deviation of 0.11.  The repeated measurements were close enough to be precise while the average is also close to the true length, and hence, the measurement is said to be accurate.

A flask with a volume of 125.0mL contains air with a density of 1.269 g/L. What is the mass of the air contained in the flask?
Aliun [14]
<span>In order to solve this problem you must first make sure all your numbers are in like terms. From the density value you can see that it is grams per liter. The first conversion you must do in convert the 125.0 mL value to Liters which you would do by dividing by 1000 because 1 liter is equal to 1000 mL. 125.0 divided by 1000 is 0.125 Liter. Now you will use the density equation to solve. The density equation is density is equal to mass divided by volume. Plug in your known numbers for density and volume. Then solve for mass. So Density (1.269 g/l is equal to mass divided by volume (.125 Liter) You must rearrange the equation to multiple density by volume which is 1.269 times 0.125 which will give you 0.1586. Because the Liters cancel each other out, the answer's unit will be grams. Your final answer is 0.1586 grams.</span>

Find the ph of a buffer that consists of 0.18 m ch3nh2 and 0.73 m ch3nh3cl (pkb of ch3nh2 = 3.35)?
ozzi
Hello!

First, we need to determine the pKa of the base. It can be found applying the following equation:

pKa=14-pKb=14-3,35=10,65

Now, we can apply the Henderson-Hasselbach's equation in the following way:

pH=pKa+log( \frac{[CH_3NH_2]}{[CH_3NH_3Cl]} )=10,65+log( \frac{0,18M}{0,73M} )=10,04

So, the pH of this buffer solution is 10,04
