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.

What is back titration?​

Answer:

Back titration is a titration done in reverse; instead of titrating the original sample, a known excess of standard reagent is added to the solution, and the excess is titrated.

2. Use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to estimate the pH of a buffer solution that is composed of 20 mL of 10 M sodium forma
Mkey [24]

Answer:

pH of buffer =4.75

Explanation:

The pH of buffer solution is calculated using Henderson Hassalbalch's equation:

pH=pKa+log[\frac{[salt]}{[acid]}

Given:

pKa = 3.75

concentration of acid = concentration of formic acid = 1 M

concentration of salt =  concentration of sodium formate = 10 M

pH=3.75+log[\frac{10}{1}]=3.75+1=4.75

pH of buffer =4.75

What was a major accomplishment of the Apollo mission
denpristay [2]
Hi there!

The <span>major accomplishment of the Apollo missions was to successfully land Americans on the Moon and to return them safely to Earth. One major reason for this was to establish a way for us to travel to other celestial bodies safely so we could research them and study how they work or to see if they are inhabitable.

What was Thompson’s model of the atom called
shtirl [24]

J. J. Thomson, who discovered the electron in 1897, proposed the plum pudding model of the atom in 1904 before the discovery of the atomic nucleus in order to include the electron in the atomic model. In Thomson's model, the atom is composed of electrons (which Thomson still called “corpuscles,” though G. J.
