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 are two things with the same volume but different masses?
Sati [7]

Answer:

an ice cube and paper cube with the same dimensions

Explanation:

an example is an ice cube and a cube with the same dimensions made of paper. these have the same volume, but different masses because the particles are packed differently and in different amounts.

The freezing point of benzene C6H6 is 5.50°C at 1 atmosphere. A nonvolatile, nonelectrolyte that dissolves in benzene is DDT . H
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer: 0.028 grams

Explanation:

Depression in freezing point :

Formula used for lowering in freezing point is,

\Delta T_f=k_f\times m

or,

\Delta T_f=k_f\times \frac{\text{ Mass of solute in g}\times 1000}{\text {Molar mass of solute}\times \text{ Mass of solvent in g}}

where,

\Delta T_f = change in freezing point

k_f = freezing point constant  (for benzene} =5.12^0Ckg/mol

m = molality

Putting in the values we get:

0.400^0C=5.12\times \frac{\text{ Mass of solute in g}\times 1000}{354.5\times 209.0}

{\text{ Mass of solute in g}}=0.028g

0.028 grams of DDT (solute) must be dissolved in 209.0 grams of benzene to reduce the freezing point by 0.400°C.

34. 3.15 mol of an unknown solid is placed into enough water to make 150.0 mL of solution. The solution's temperature increases
Digiron [165]

Answer:

ΔH = 2.68kJ/mol

Explanation:

The ΔH of dissolution of a reaction is defined as the heat produced per mole of reaction. We have 3.15 moles of the solid, to find the heat produced we need to use the equation:

q = m*S*ΔT

<em>Where q is heat of reaction in J,</em>

<em>m is the mass of the solution in g,</em>

<em>S is specific heat of the solution = 4.184J/g°C</em>

<em>ΔT is change in temperature = 11.21°C</em>

The mass of the solution is obtained from the volume and the density as follows:

150.0mL * (1.20g/mL) = 180.0g

Replacing:

q = 180.0g*4.184J/g°C*11.21°C

q = 8442J

q = 8.44kJ when 3.15 moles of the solid react.

The ΔH of the reaction is:

8.44kJ/3.15 mol

= 2.68kJ/mol
