Why are both accuracy and precision important in making a measurement

Chemistry
1 answer:
Mnenie [13.5K]2 years ago

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.

The speed at which seismic waves travel depends on the properties of the material that they are passing through. For example, the denser a material is, the faster a seismic wave travels. P waves can travel through liquid and solids and gases, while S waves only travel through solids.

Nitrogen monoxide, NO, reacts with hydrogen, H₂, according to the following equation.
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer : The rate law for the overall reaction is, Rate=k[NO]^2[H_2]

Explanation :

Rate law : It is defined as the expression which expresses the rate of the reaction in terms of molar concentration of the reactants with each term raised to the power their stoichiometric coefficient of that reactant in the balanced chemical equation.

As we are given the mechanism for the reaction :

Step 1 : 2NO+H_2\rightarrow N_2+H_2O_2    (slow)

Step 2 : H_2O_2+H_2\rightarrow 2H_2O     (fast)

Overall reaction : 2NO+2H_2\rightarrow N_2+2H_2O

The rate law expression for overall reaction should be in terms of NO\text{ and }H_2.

As we know that the slow step is the rate determining step. So,

The slow step reaction is,

2NO+H_2\rightarrow N_2+H_2O_2

The expression of rate law for this reaction will be,

Rate=k[NO]^2[H_2]

Hence, the rate law for the overall reaction is, Rate=k[NO]^2[H_2]

Gastric juice is made up of substances secreted from parietal cells, chief cells, and mucous-secreting cells. The cells secrete
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

The amount of energy required to transport hydrogen ions from a cell into the stomach is 37.26KJ/mol.

Explanation:

The free change for the process can be written in terms of its equilibrium constant as:

ΔG° = -RTInK_(eq)

where:

R= universal gas constant

T= temperature

K_eq= equilibrum constant for the process

Similarly, free energy change and cell potentia; are related to each other as follows;

ΔG= -nFE°

from above;

F = faraday's constant

n = number of electrons exchanged in the process; and  

E = standard cell potential

∴ The amount of energy required for transport of hydrogen ions from a cell into stomach lumen can be calculated as:

ΔG° = -RTInK_(eq)

where;

[texK_eq[/tex]=\frac{[H^+]_(cell)}{[H^+(stomach lumen)]}

For transport of ions to an internal pH of 7.4, the transport taking place can be given as:

H^+_{inside} ⇒ H^+_{outside}

Equilibrum constant for the transport is given as:

K_{eq}=\frac{[H^+]_{outside}}{[H^+]_{inside}}

=\frac{[H^+]_{cell}}{[H^+]_{stomach lumen}}

[H^+]_{cell}= 10⁻⁷⁴

=3.98 * 10⁻⁸M

[H^+]_{stomach lumen} = 10⁻²¹

=7.94 * 10⁻³M

Hence;

K_{eq}=\frac{[H^+]_{cell}}{[H^+]_{stomachlumen}}

=\frac{3.98*10^{-8}}{7.94*10{-3}}

= 5.012 × 10⁻⁶

Furthermore, free energy change for this reaction is related to the equilibrium concentration given as:

ΔG° = -RTInK_(eq)

If temperature T= 37° C ; in kelvin

=37° C + 273.15K

=310.15K; and

R-= 8.314 j/mol/k

substituting the values into the equation we have;

ΔG₁ = -(8.314J/mol/K)(310.15)TIn(5.0126*10^{-6})

= 31467.93Jmol⁻¹

≅ 31.47KJmol⁻¹

If the potential difference across the cell membrane= 60.0mV.

Energy required to cross the cell membrane will be:

ΔG₂ = -nFE°_{membrane}

ΔG₂ = -(1 mol)(96.5KJ/mol/V)(60*10^{-3})

= 5.79KJ

Therefore, for one mole of electron transfer across the membrane; the energy required is 5.79KJmol⁻¹

Now, we  can calculate the total amount of energyy required to transport H⁺ ions across the membrane:

Δ G_{total} = G_{1}+G_{2}

= (31.47+5.79) KJmol⁻¹

= 37.26KJmol⁻¹

We can therefore conclude that;

   The amount of energy required to transport ions from cell to stomach lumen is 37.26KJmol⁻¹

Cis-trans isomers (geometric isomers) are molecules that _____. A) are isomers in which one of the molecules contains an amino g
Paul [167]

Answer:

C) differ in the arrangement of their atoms about a double bond

Explanation:

Cis-trans isomers -

Isomers are the molecules which have the same molecular formula but they differ in their arrangement of atoms.

The two isomers possible are the cis and the trans isomer .

1. Cis - isomer - The priority group or the similar group are at same side of the double bond .

2. trans - isomer -  The priority group or the similar group are at different side of the double bond . ( the group are diagonally present )

Hence , the option about cis - trans isomer is ( c ) .

At a certain temperature the vapor pressure of pure benzene is measured to be 322. torr . Suppose a solution is prepared by mixi
VikaD [51]
First, we convert the masses into fractions
<span>138 g of benzene =  1.77 moles benzene
91.2 g of heptane = 0.93 moles heptane

Next, calculate the mole fractions
x1 (benzene) = 1.77 / (1.77 + 0.93) = 0.66
x2 (heptane) = 1 - 0.66 = 0.34

</span>The vapor pressure of pure benzene is 322 torr at 40 C.
At the same temperature, the vapor pressure of heptane is 92 torr.
<span>
The partial pressure of benzene is
p1 = 0.66 (322) = 212.52 torr 
The partial pressure of heptane is
p2 = 0.34 (92) = 31.28 torr
