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.

Describe the relationship between volume and temperature of an ideal gas
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

Explanation:

Here, we want to describe the relationship between the volume and temperature of an ideal gas

This relationship is defined by Charles' law

From this law, we know that the volume of a given mass of gas is directly proportional to its temperature at a fixed pressure

What this means is that as long as the pressure remains unchanged, when the volume increases, the temperature increases, and when the volume decreases, the temperature decreases

These can be represented by the mathematical formula below:

\frac{V_1}{T_1}\text{ = }\frac{V_2}{T_2}
