Distinguish between the terms accuracy and precision. In general, explain why a precise measurement does not always guarantee an

accurate result.

Answer:

Accuracy is a term which describes how close to the real measurement our measurement is; while precision is a term that describes how close are a group of measurements one from another, or how close one from another are the measurements that an equipment does.

A precise measurement means that the equipment or measurement method gives always values so close to the previous value (similar values across the time), which means that for a specific measurement, the measurement results will be always so close between them; but of course, it does not guarantee that the results will be close to the real value in fact (The results can be precisive, be so close between them, but have every one an important error).

What size volumetric flask would you use to create a 0.50 M<br> solution using 10.00 g of CaBr2
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

First convert the grams of Calcium Bromide to moles by using the atomic weight. Then use the formula for molarity, which is moles per liter.

CaBr2 = 199.9 g/mol

10/199.9 = 0.05 moles of CaBr2

0.5M=\frac{0.05mol}{x}

x = 0.1L or 100mL

Can someone please help me im stuck​

Answer:

The answers to your questions are given below.

Explanation:

1. __H₂ + __O₂ —> __H₂O

The above equation can be balance as follow:

H₂ + O₂ —> H₂O

There are 2 atoms of O on the left side and 1 atom on the right side. It can be balance by writing 2 before H₂O as shown below:

H₂ + O₂ —> 2H₂O

There are 2 atoms of H on the left side and a total of 4 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by writing 2 before H₂ as shown below:

2H₂ + O₂ —> 2H₂O

Now the equation is balanced.

Elements >>> Reactants >>> Products

H >>>>>>>>> 4 >>>>>>>>>>> 4

O >>>>>>>>> 2 >>>>>>>>>>> 2

2. __ P₄ + __O₂ —> __P₂O₃

The above equation can be balance as follow:

P₄ + O₂ —> P₂O₃

There are 4 atoms of P on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by writing 2 before P₂O₃ as shown below:

P₄ + O₂ —> 2P₂O₃

There are 2 atoms of O on the left side and a total of 6 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by writing 3 before O₂ as shown below:

P₄ + 3O₂ —> 2P₂O₃

Now, the equation is balanced

Elements >>> Reactants >>> Products

P >>>>>>>>> 4 >>>>>>>>>>> 4

O >>>>>>>>> 6 >>>>>>>>>>> 6

The doctor ordered 750ml of a 15 percent solution. the stock solution is 50 percent. how much stock solution and diluent are nee
garik1379 [7]
The doctor required a 15% 750mL solution. To lower the concentration of the solution, you have to add more diluting liquid. 

750mL * 0.15 = 112.5mL. This 112.5mL signifies the pure chemical or compound in the solution. This 112.5mL can be taken from the stock solution.

112.5 * 2 = 250mL of stock solution would be needed and 500 mL of the diluting agent should be added. Adding the two together would result to a 750mL solution of 15% concentration.

What is the charge on an atom after it loses an electron during the formation of a bond?
Sphinxa [80]

I believe the charge is positive as losing an electron suggests that the atom lost a negative charge, leaving it with more positive than negative.

I haven't taken this in a few years very sorry if i'm wrong tho.

Nitrogen gas is stored at 200 kPa and 100 K in a rigid tank with a volume of 0.5 m3. If the temperature of the gas is increased
olasank [31]

Answer:

The final temperature is 800KPa

Explanation:

The following were obtained from the question:

P1 = 200 kPa

T1 = 100 K

T2 = 400 K

P2 =?

Since the tank is rigid, the volume of the tank is constant.

Using P1/T1 = P2/T2, we can obtain the new pressure as illustrated below:

200/100 = P2 /400

Cross multiply to express in linear form:

100 x P2 = 200 x 400

Divide both side by 100

P2 = (200 x 400) /100

P2 = 800KPa

The final temperature is 800KPa
