The best unit to measure the length of an object is meters.

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Length is defined as the distance covered by any object from one end to another end of the object. It can also be termed as single dimension of the object. It is a measuring variable and like all measuring variables, it also has SI unit. The SI unit to determine the length of any object is meter.

So among the given options, cubic meters can't be the correct unit for length because it has three dimensional variable while length is a single dimensional variable. Similarly, kilograms is the unit of weight or mass of any object and kilogram per cubic meter is for density of any object. Thus the best unit for measuring the object's length is meters.

Answer:

Answers are in the explanation

Explanation:

Precision and accuracy are both statistical concepts. Precision is about how close are the measured values to each other. Accuracy is closeness of the measured values to a specific value or reference value.

There are many ways to calculate precision and accuracy, one is stimating precision as Relative Uncertainty and accuracy as Relative Error.

Formulas are:

Relative Uncertainty: Standard desviation / Measured value.

Relative Error: Measured Value - Expected Value / Expected value

Measured value is the aveage of the values.

For student 1:

Mean = 25

Standard desviation = 1.5275

Relative Uncertainty: 1.5275 / 25

Relative Uncertainty: 0.061

Relative Error: 25 - 20 / 20

Relative Error: 0.25

For student 2:

Mean = 24.5

Standard desviation = 0.5477

Relative Uncertainty: 0.5477 / 24.5

Relative Uncertainty: 0.02

Relative Error: 24.5 - 20 / 20

Relative Error: 0.225

As the student 2 has a low Relative error and uncertainty, you can say student 2 is more accurate and precise

What is paper chromatography? Calculate the Rr value of a colored dye that traveled 52 mm on a chromatography strip while the so

Answer:

Paper chromatography is a basic technique of chromatography. It consist in the separation of the mixe components using a solvent.

Explanation:

Paper chromatography is a basic technique of chromatography. It consists in the separation of the mixed components using a solvent.

Paper chromatography consists of put some dot of the mix using a glass capillary into a specialized paper, generally made of cellulose, this is called a stationary phase.

Then you put this paper into a camera of glass named, chromatography camera, where previously contain a solvent. The solvent also know as a mobile phase, the type can be defined before the test and involves a study of the kind of the mix, and the compound you want to separate.

The chromatography camera has to be closed all the time during the test, and you can't move at all because the movement of the solvent can alternate the result.

Very often, the solution of the solvent is a mix of different liquid substances with different polarities.

When the stationary phase put into the camera, the solvent starts to move up over the paper, until the separation of the compounds is observable.

the Rf is a value who relates the move of the mobile phase with the move of the distance traveled by the substance tested.

To undersant the paper chromatography, you can watch the images attached.

The first is an image of the chromatography camera.

The second one is an image of a cellulose paper after the chromatography is done. You can watch the dots who indicates the traveling of the compound across the paper.

The third one can show you the evolutions of paper chromatography, from the beginning to the end.

To calculate the Rf value you have to use the equation:

Rf = distance traveled by the substance/distance traveled by the solvent/

Rf = 52mm/81mm =0.64
