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.

nordsb [41]

Answer:

The answer to your question is  molality = 0.61

Explanation:

Freezing point is the temperature at which a liquid turns into a solid if a solute is added to a solution, the freezing point changes.

Data

Kf = 1.86 °C/m

molality = ?

ΔTc = 1.13°C

Formula

ΔTc = kcm

Solve for m

m = ΔTc/kc

Substitution

m = 1.13 / 1.86

Simplification and result

m = 0.61

How did Bohr refine the model of the atom? How did Bohr refine the model of the atom? He developed electrochemistry. He discover
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

He developed the concept of concentric electron energy levels

Explanation:

Before Bohr's model, Rutherford's model was proposed. This model explains most of the properties of the atom but failed to explain the stability of the atom.

As per Rutherford's model, electrons revolve around the nucleus in the orbit.

But revolving electron in their orbit around nucleus would give up energy and so gradually move towards the nucleus and therefore, eventually collapse.

Bohr's proposed that the electrons around the nucleus move orbit of fixed energy called "stationary states". Electrons in these stationary states  do not radiate energy.

Therefore, proposal of concentric electron energy levels refine the atomic models.
