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

Draw the product that valine forms when it reacts with excess CH3CH2OH and HCl followed by a wash with aqueous base.

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Product: ethyl L-valinate

Explanation:

If we want to understand what it is the molecule produced we have to analyze the reagents. We have valine an amino acid, in this kind of compounds we have an amine group ( $NH_2$ ) and a carboxylic acid group ( $COOH$ ). Additionally, we have an alcohol ( $CH_3CH_2OH$ ) in the presence of HCl (a strong acid) in the first step, and a base ( $OH^-$ ).

When we have an acid and an alcohol in a vessel we will have an esterification reaction. In other words, an ester is produced. As the first step, the oxygen in the C=O (in the carboxylic acid group) would be protonated. In the second step, the ethanol attacks the carbon in the C=O of the carboxylic acid group producing a new bond between the oxygen in the ethanol and the carbon in the carboxylic acid. In step 3, a proton is transferred to produce a better leaving group ( $H_2O$ ). In step 4, a water molecule leaves the main structure to produce again the double bond C=O. Finally, a base ( $OH^-$ ) removes the hydrogen from the C=O bond to produce ethyl L-valinate

See figure 1

I hope it helps!

Determine how much energy is needed to change 50 g of liquid water at 100°C to steam.

marin [14]

Answer:

$Q=113,000J$

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since the vaporization process is carried out in order to turn a liquid into a gas due to the addition of heat, we can use the following heat equation involving the heat of vaporization of water or any other substance:

$Q=m*\Delta _{vap}H$
