Answer:

ZnS  

Explanation:

1. Number of Zn atoms

4 internal atoms = 4 Zn atoms

2. Number of S atoms

8 corners × ⅛ S atom/corner + 6 faces × ½ S atom/face = 1 S atom + 3 S atoms = 4 S atoms

3. Empirical formula

The atomic ratio is

4Zn:4S = 1Zn:1S

The empirical formula is ZnS.

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

There was an improvement in accuracy. There was no change in precision.

Explanation:

<em>The average mass after recalibration is closer to the mass of the standard, </em>so the recalibration improved the accuracy<em> </em>(the measurement is closer to an accepted 'true' value).

The standard deviation did not change, so the precision (or how disperse the measurements are) was not affected.
