Answer:

Accuracy of values

Explanation:

They're correct due to margin error of ±0.5 during an experiment.

1 min 15 seconds is equivalent to 75 seconds.

However the other one was 75.5 seconds.

Using the margin error of ±0.5 during recording, they're both correct.

Note : Accuracy is the closeness of agreement between a measured value and a true or accepted value. Measurement error is the amount of inaccuracy.

Precision is a measure of how well a result can be determined (without reference to a theoretical or true value). It is the degree of consistency and agreement among independent measurements of the same quantity; also the reliability or reproducibility of the result.

The uncertainty estimate associated with a measurement should account for both the accuracy and precision of the measurement.

In this case, this is an argument of who was more accurate and judging by this standard, they're both accurate but not necessarily precise since their values are not exact with each other.

Se sabe que 10 g de calcio reaccionan con 4 g de oxígeno para obtener 14 g de óxido de calcio. Indica la cantidad de óxido de ca
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

Si se usan 50 gramos de calcio y óxigeno, se obtienen 70 gramos de óxido de calcio.

Explanation:

Hola,

En este caso, la reacción llevada a cabo es:

2Ca+O_2\rightarrow 2CaO

De este modo si asumimos el ejemplo dado, 50 gramos de calcio, cuya masa atómica es 40 g/mol y 50 g de oxígeno, cuya masa atómica como gas diatómico es 32 g/mol, antes de calcular los gramos de óxido de calcio producidos, debemos identificar el reactivo límite. Así, calculamos las moles de calcio disponibles en 50 g:

mol_{Ca}^{disponible}=50gCa*\frac{1molCa}{40gCa} =1.25molCa

Y también las moles de calcio consumidas por los 50 g de oxígeno, utilizando su relación molar 2:1:

mol_{Ca}^{consumidas\ por\ O_2}=50gO_2*\frac{1molO_2}{32gO_2} *\frac{2molCa}{1molO_2} =3.125molCa

Por lo tanto, hay menos calcio disponible que el que consume el oxígeno, por lo que el calcio esel reactivo límite. Ahora, con este, calculamos los gramos de óxido de calcio, cuya masa molar es 56 g/mol, que se producen:

m_{CaO}=1.25molCa*\frac{2molCaO}{2molCa}* \frac{56gCaO}{1molCaO}\\ \\m_{CaO}=70gCaO

Esto quiere decir que de 50 gramos de oxígeno, solo 20 gramos reaccionan para formar 70 gramos de óxido de calcio.

Saludos!

During action potential, positively charged ________ ions move inside the cell.
Tems11 [23]

During action potential, positively charged  sodium ions move inside the cell.

So option D is correct one.

The sodium ion moves inside the cell during a action potential. The stage of action potential is called depolarization . This open voltage gated sodium channel.

Action potentials ( those electrical impulse that send signals around body )  is nothing but more than temporary shift ( from negative to positive ) in the neuron's membrane potential caused by ions suddenly flowing in and out of the neuron.

It consists of phases:

  • Depolarization
  • overshoot
  • repolarization

An active potential propagates along the cell membrane of an axon until  it reaches the terminal button.

Given the balanced equation representing a reaction occurring in an electrolytic cell:
Vikki [24]
The answer is (4) at the cathode, where reduction occurs. The Na+ gains one electron and become Na(l). So the reaction occurs at cathode and is reduction reaction.

Which of the following atoms will not react with water​
Sati [7]

Answer:

Among Na ,K , Pb , Li , The atom which does not react with water is :

<u>Pb</u>

Explanation:

Li  : Reacts slowly with water

Na ,K  : Reacts vigorously with water

Pb : It does not reacts with water because :- Pb oxidize in presence of  atmospheric oxygen to form lead oxide (PbO) . this PbO form a layer over the surface of Pb and make it inert to water.
