Answer: Measurement B

Explanation:

Precision refers to the closeness of two or more measurements to each other.

For Example: If we measure a length three times and we get 3.5 m each time. Then the measurement is very precise.

Accuracy refers to the closeness of a measured value to a standard or known value.

For Example: If the length of the substance is 4 m and one person measures 3.9 m and another person measures 3.8 m. Then, the length measured by first person is more accurate.

Thus measurement B represents both accuracy as well as precision as the darts are close and pointed at the center.

Accuracy is when you hit as close as to the target as you can and precision is when you are on point

What ion is at a higher concentration in the extracellular fluid than in the intracellular fluid?

Phoenix [80]

There are two types of fluid in the body extracellular fluid and intracellular fluid (ECF and ICF), together they are account for total body water.
The Sodium (Na+) ion is at higher concentration in the extracellular fluid than in the intracellular fluid. The function of extracellular fluid is that it provide cells to watery environment so that they can easily live and perform their function.

Calculate the cell potential at 25oC under the following nonstandard conditions: 2MnO4-(aq) + 3Cu(s) + 8H+(aq) ⟶ 2MnO2(s) + 3Cu2

baherus [9]

Answer:

1.346 v

Explanation:

1) Fist of all we need to calculate the standard cell potential, one should look up the reduction potentials for the species envolved:

(oxidation) $Cu_{(s)}$ → $Cu^{2+}_{(aq)} +2e$ E°=0.337 v

(reduction) $MnO_{4 (aq)} + 3e + 4H^{+}_{(aq)}$ → $MnO_{2 (aq)}+2H_{2}O$ E°=1.679 v

(overall) $2MnO_{4 (aq)}+3Cu_{(s)}$ +8H^{+}_{(aq)}→ $3Cu^{2+}_{(aq)}+2MnO_{2 (aq)}+4H_{2}O$ E°=1.342 v

2) Nernst Equation

Knowing the standard potential, one calculates the nonstandard potential using the Nernst Equation:

$E=E^{0} -\frac{RT}{nF}Ln\frac{[red]}{[ox]}$

Where 'R' is the molar gas constant, 'T' is the kelvin temperature, 'n' is the number of electrons involved in the reaction and 'F' is the faraday constant.

The problem gives the [red]=0.66M and [ox]=1.69M, just apply to the Nernst Equation to give

$E=1.342 -\frac{298.15*8.314}{6*96500}Ln\frac{[.66]}{[1.69]}=1.346$

E=1.346

Which of the following statements is TRUE? Which of the following statements is TRUE? Two electrons in the same orbital can have

Monica [59]

An orbital that penetrates into the region occupied by core electrons is less shielded from nuclear charge than an orbital that does not penetrate and therefore has a lower energy.

Explanation:

The only true statement from the given options is that "an orbital that penetrates into the region occupied by core electrons is less shielded from nuclear charge than an orbital that does not penetrate and therefore has a lower energy." Inner orbitals which are also known to contain core electrons feels the bulk of the nuclear pull on them compared to the outermost orbitals containing the valence electrons.

The nuclear pull is the effect of the nucleus pulling and attracting the electrons in orbitals.
This pull is stronger for inner orbitals and weak on the outer ones.
The outer orbitals are said to be well shielded from the pull of the nuclear charge.
Also, based on the quantum theory, electrons in the outer orbitals have higher energies because they occupy orbitals at having higher energy value.
