Why are both accuracy and precision important in making a measurement

Chemistry
1 answer:
Mnenie [13.5K]3 years ago
4 0
It is because precise amount measured is required for the reaction to take place chemically, and an accurate conclusion will prevent any dangerous and misleading conclusions made due to inaccurate data.

For example, in physics, every measurement we state the instrument uncertainty after the measurement, stating that it is not a definite certain measurement, but the smaller the value for the uncertainty, the more precise that instrument's data is.

Precise is important in terms of knowing how many moles or grams of reactant is required for this reaction to complete without any shortage or excess chemically. Accuracy is based on the conclusions we make in regards to the data and observations we make experimentally.

Explain the energetic benefits of making the enzyme active site complementary to the transition state rather than to the substra
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

Explanation:

If the enzyme active site is complementary to the substrate conformation rather than to the transition state, it is unlikely that the reaction will proceed and release a product, because the enzyme-substrate complex will be tightly bound (ΔG will raise).

On the other hand, when the enzyme active site is complementary to the transition state, the substrate will not be tightly bound and will be more prone to be transformed into the product (<u>ΔG will be lowered</u>) and afterward, be released.

The weak interactions (non-covalent bonds) will stabilize the energy of the transition state and reduce its energy, thus lowering the activation energy). If the transition state is stable, it will form more easily and<u> the reaction will be more likely to proceed.</u>

Explain how the equation for GPE = force x distance.
Mkey [24]
GPE is the gravitational Potential Energy which is given by mgh.

mg is the gravitational force(a force) and h is the height of the object(or distance of the object from earth's surface)

SO GPE = mg (force) x h (distance)

How much energy is required to change the temperature of 35.0 g of Lead
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

Q = 270 Joules (2 sig. figs. as based on temperature change.)

Explanation:

Heat Transfer Equation of pure condensed phase substance => Q = mcΔT

Mixed phase (s ⇄ l melting/freezing, or l ⇄ g boiling/condensation) heat transfer equation => Q = m∙ΔHₓ; ΔHₓ = phase transition constant

Since this is a pure condensed phase (or, single phase) form of lead (Pb°(s)) and not melting/freezing or boiling/condensation, one should use

Q = m·c·ΔT

m = mass of lead = 35.0g

c = specific heat of lead = 0.16J/g°C

ΔT = Temp change = 74°C - 25°C = 49°C

Q = (35.0g)(0.16J/g·°C )(49°C) = 274.4 Joules ≅ 270 Joules (2 sig. figs. as based on temperature change.)

What does the nucleus of the cell control?
dusya [7]

Answer:

Image result for What does the nucleus of the cell control?

The nucleus controls and regulates the activities of the cell (e.g., growth and metabolism) and carries the genes, structures that contain the hereditary information. Nucleoli are small bodies often seen within the nucleus.

4. DBearded waste of Co-60 must be stored until it is no longer radioactive. Cobalt-60
Bingel [31]

464 g radioisotope was present when the sample was put in storage

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Sample waste of Co-60 = 14.5 g

26.5 years in storage

Required

Initial sample

Solution

General formulas used in decay:  

\large{\boxed{\bold{N_t=N_0(\dfrac{1}{2})^{t/t\frac{1}{2} }}}

t = duration of decay  

t 1/2 = half-life  

N₀ = the number of initial radioactive atoms  

Nt = the number of radioactive atoms left after decaying during T time  

Half-life of Co-60 = 5.3 years

Input the value :

\tt 14.5=No.\dfrac{1}{2}^{26.5/5.3}\\\\14.5=No.\dfrac{1}{2}^5\\\\No=\boxed{\bold{464~g}}
