A lab group was measuring the mass of an object. They recorded the following masses for the same object: 12.13 g, 12.12 g, 12.13

g, and 12.11 g. The actual mass of the object was 17.13 g. Which of the following best describes the lab groups results? The results were both accurate and precise. The results were accurate but not precise. The results were precise but not accurate. The results lacked both precision and accuracy.

Answer:

Precise, but not accurate

Explanation:

First, let’s define accuracy and precision.

⇒Accuracy: how close you are to the actual value

⇒Precision: how close the measurements are to each other.

Let’s examine the data given:  

12.13 g, 12.12 g, 12.13 g, and 12.11 g

Each number is or is very close to 12.12 (within 0.1)

The actual mass of the object is 17.13 grams. Each measurement is about 5 grams away from the actual mass.

Since the measurements are very close to each other, but quite far from the true value, we can say the results are precise, but not accurate.

Where did Rutherford believe the protons were found?
Anika [276]
The only explanation, Rutherford suggested in 1911, was that the alpha particles were being scattered by a large amount of positive charge concentrated in a very small space at the center of the gold atom.

Oxygen gas is compressed in a piston–cylinder device from an initial state of 0.8 m3 /kg and 25°C to a final state of 0.1 m3 /kg
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

ΔS = -0.1076 kJ /kg*K

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Initial state = 0.8 m³/kg and 25 °C = 298.15 K

Final state = 0. 3³/kg and 287 °C = 560.15 K

Cv = 0.686 kJ/kg*K

Step 2: Calculate the average temperature

The average temperature = (25°C + 287 °C)/2  =156 °C ( = 429 K)

Step 3: Calculate the ΔS

ΔS =(Cv, average) * ln(T2/T1) + R*ln(V2/V1)

ΔS = 0.686 * ln(560.15/298.15) + 0.2598*ln( 0.1/0.8)

ΔS = -0.1076 kJ /kg*K

Which process is an example of a chemical change? drying clothes in the dryer heating a cup of tea chopping a tree activating a
coldgirl [10]
Answer:

Activating a glow stick is the example of a chemical change, as snapping one will cause a chemical reaction, causing the glow. All of the other options are physical changes because nothing new is formed. Hope this helps!
