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.

Water is a good choice of solvent because it is benign, cheap and readily available. Identify two characteristics that make wate
Mila [183]

Answer:

Two characteristics that make water a good choice for the recrystallization solvent for benzoic acid are

  1. Low solubility for benzoic acid at room temperature
  2. Less expensive

Explanation:

Characteristics of a Good Recrystallization Solvent:

  1. Cheap.
  2. High volatility.
  3. No reaction with substrate to be made pure.
  4. Insoluble impurities should not be dissolced by the olvent at all temperatures.
  5. At room temperature the solvent should have high solubility for soluble impurities well
  6. At  room temperature the substance to be purified should be insoluble in the solvent.

As such water has both low solubility for benzoic acid at room temperature and water is cheap or readily available

Why it is impossible for an isolated atom to exist in the hybridized state?
kakasveta [241]

Hybridization refers to the mixing of atomic orbitals in an atom. The number of hybrid orbitals needs to be equal to the number of orbitals that have involved in prior to mixing.  

The isolated atoms cannot prevail in a hybridized state as the atom in an isolated state do not form any kind of bond with the other atom, due to which the atomic orbitals do not go through the process of hybridization.

Which atom in the ground state requires the least amount of energy to remove its valence electron?(1) lithium atom (2) potassium
Fudgin [204]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

                   Rubidium (Rb)

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

                           Ionization Energy is defined as, "the minimum energy required to knock out or remove the valence electron from valence shell of an atom".

<h3>Trends in Periodic table:</h3>

               Along Periods:

                                        Ionization Energy increases from left to right along the periods because moving from left to right in the same period the number of protons (atomic number) increases but the number of shells remain constant hence, resulting in strong nuclear interactions and electrons are more attracted to nucleus hence, requires more energy to knock them out.

              Along Groups:

                                        Ionization energy decreases from top to bottom along the groups because the number of shells increases and the distance between nucleus and valence electrons also increases along with increase in shielding effect provided by core electrons. Therefore, the valence electrons experience less nuclear attraction and are easily removed.

<h3>Conclusion:</h3>

                   Given elements belong to same group hence, Rubidium present at the bottom of remaining elements will have least ionization energy due to facts explained in trends of groups above.

PIT_PIT [208]

For the answer to the question above,
If you mean planet, that would be Mercury. There are other objects in our solar system that could fit the criteria. 
Our moon, Ganymede, and Callisto are about a quarter the size of Earth and have no atmosphere or moon.
