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.

gogolik [260]

Answer:

c. Cr

Explanation:

Cr^3+(aq) + CO_3^2-(aq) ------------> Cr_2CO_3(s)

The compound is containing CO_3^2- ion.

If acid reacts with it, CO_2 evolves.

H^+ + CO_3^2- ----------> H_2O + CO_2

therefore,  Cr would form a precipitate when added to an aqueous solution of this compound. Cr2CO3 is the precipitate.

Identify the intermediate leads to the major product for the reaction of 2-methyl-2-butene with hydrogen bromide in the presence
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

II

Explanation:

We must have a good idea of the fact that there are two mechanisms that come into play when we are discussing about the addition of hydrogen halides to alkenes. The first is the ionic mechanism and the second is the radical mechanism.

The ionic mechanism is accounted for by the Markovnikov rule while the radical mechanism occurs in the presence of peroxides and is generally referred to as anti Markovnikov  addition.

The intermediate in anti Markovnikov  addition involves the most stable radical, in this case, it is a tertiary radical as shown in the images attached. The most stable radical is II hence it leads to the major product shown in the other image.

Calculate the volume of a 0.200 M KCl solution containing 5.00 10-2 mol of solute. Enter your answer in the provided box. IL
Paul [167]

Answer:

The volume of a 0.200 M KCl solution containing 5.00 10-2 mol of solute is 0,25 L

Explanation:

Molarity (M) means: moles of solute which are contained in 1 L of solution.  

In this case we have 0,2 moles which are in 1 L, so, as we have 5x10*-2 moles we have to apply a rule of three to find out the volume.

0,2 moles ........... 1 L

5x10*-2 moles ........... x

x= (5x10*-2 moles . 1 L) / 0,2 moles = 0.25L

(we can also say 250 mL)
