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.

Write the advantages of modern periodic table write as more as you can and don't copy the same thing​
Tema [17]

Answer:

the advantages of modern periodic tables are given below and explained.

  1. position of hydrogen:since hydrogen has the least atomic number i.e 1 ,it is kept in group 1 of modern periodic table, but still controversial due to its. dual characteristics since it shows the characteristics of borh group 1 and group 17.
  2. position of isotopes :isotopes are element having the same atomic number but different atomic weight . Without any doubt all isotopes of one element and kept in one place.
  3. position of lanthanide and acnitinides: element of Lanthanides series and element of Actinides series are kept below the main block of the periodic table as they have different properties from other elements.
  4. correction of periodic law: some elements do not obey mendeleev periodic law , but when they are arranged according to atomic number they obey the modern periodic law.
  5. position of alkali metals and coinage metals : in modern periodic table , alkali metal are kept in group IA and coinage metals are in group.

hope this helped you☺️

any confusion then comment it and let me know.

actually as I say these points say that the modern periodic table is better than mendeleev periodic table so, don't get confused.

onsider the reversible dissolution of lead(II) chloride. P b C l 2 ( s ) − ⇀ ↽ − P b 2 + ( a q ) + 2 C l − ( a q ) PbClX2(s)↽−−⇀
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

9.34x10^-4

Explanation:

Step 1:

The balanced equation for the reaction.

PbCl2( s ) <=> Pb^2+(aq) + 2Cl^−(aq)

Step 2:

Data obtained from the question:

Mass of PbCl2 = 0.2393 g

Volume = 50mL

concentration of Pb^2+, [Pb^2+] = 0.0159 M

Concentration of Cl^-, [Cl^-] = 0.0318 M

Equilibrium constant, Kc =?

Step 3:

Determination of the number of mole PbCl2.

The number of mole of PbCl2 can be obtained as follow:

Molar Mass of PbCl2 = 207 + (35.5x2) = 278g/mol

Mass of PbCl2 = 0.2393 g

Number of mole =Mass /Molar Mass

Number of mole of PbCl2 = 0.2393/278 = 8.61x10^-4 mole

Step 4:

Determination of Molarity of PbCl2.

At this stage we shall obtain the molarity of PbCl2. This is shown below:

Mole of PbCl2 = 8.61x10^-4 mole

Volume = 50mL = 50/1000 = 0.05L

Molarity of PbCl2 =?

Molarity = mole /Volume

Molarity of PbCl2 = 8.61x10^-4/0.05

Molarity of PbCl2 = 0.01722 M

Step 5:

Determination of the equilibrium constant Kc.

PbCl2( s ) <=> Pb^2+(aq) + 2Cl^−(aq)

The equilibrium constant Kc for the equation above is given by:

Kc = [Pb^2+] [Cl^-]^2 / [PbCl2]

[Pb^2+] = 0.0159 M

[Cl^-] = 0.0318 M

[PbCl2] = 0.01722 M

Kc =?

Kc = [Pb^2+] [Cl^-]^2 / [PbCl2]

Kc = 0.0159 x (0.0318)^2/ 0.01722

Kc = 9.34x10^-4
