Answer:
It is both accurate and precise.
Explanation:
Precision and accuracy are two different terms used to describe data or measurements. Accuracy refers to how close a set of measurements/experimental values is to an accepted or correct value while Precision refers to how close a series of experimental values are to one another.
In the given set of data in the question below, the Correct Value is 59.2 while the experimental values are as follows;
Trial 1: 58.7
Trial 2: 59.3
Trial 3: 60.0
Trial 4: 58.9
Trial 5: 59.2
Based on comparison, it can be observed that these experimental values are close to the correct value (59.2). Hence, they are said to be ACCURATE. Also, the experimental values are close to one another, hence, they are said to be PRECISE.
Therefore, the data set is both accurate and precise.
Answer:
81°C.
Explanation:
To solve this problem, we can use the relation:
<em>Q = m.c.ΔT,</em>
where, Q is the amount of heat released from water (Q = - 1200 J).
m is the mass of the water (m = 20.0 g).
c is the specific heat capacity of water (c of water = 4.186 J/g.°C).
ΔT is the difference between the initial and final temperature (ΔT = final T - initial T = final T - 95.0°C).
∵ Q = m.c.ΔT
∴ (- 1200 J) = (20.0 g)(4.186 J/g.°C)(final T - 95.0°C ).
(- 1200 J) = 83.72 final T - 7953.
∴ final T = (- 1200 J + 7953)/83.72 = 80.67°C ≅ 81.0°C.
<em>So, the right choice is: 81°C.</em>
Answer:
Heat lost to the surroundings
Heat lost to the thermometer
Explanation:
All changes in heat, or energy, can be explained. Many of the reactions or changes we see in the world involve the conversion of energy. For example as we heat up a substance (eg. water), the amount of energy we put in should give us an exact temperature. However, this is a "perfect world" scenario, and does not occur in real life. Whenever heat is added to a substance like water, we always need to account for the energy that is going to be lost. For example, heat lost to evaporation or even the effect of measuring the temperature with a thermometer (the introduction of anything including a thermometer will affect the temperature).
