How can a measurment be both precise and accurate?

Chemistry

Accuracy refers to the closeness of a value to a known or standard value, while precision refers to the closeness of measurements (two or more) to each other. 

The best way to remember how to distinguish between the two definitions and apply them is to think of archery. The archer's goal is to be both accurate and precise. To do this, he/she must try and shoot each arrow as close to the middle and as close to each other as possible. If the archer's arrows landed all over the target, these shots would be neither accurate nor precise. If the arrows landed closely to each other, but far away from the middle, these shots would be considered precise, but not accurate. If the arrows all landed closely to each other AND in the middle, the shots would be BOTH accurate and precise.

So, if you consistently measured values that were close to each other, and were close to the accepted/known value, then your measurements would be both accurate and precise. 


I hope this helps you.

sergejj [24]

Answer:

A population or community research line can be carried out, wherever at a certain point in time, regardless of whether it is a cross-sectional study.

In addition, the people who would be the population to be studied or the object of study might or might not know the cause of the study (blind) while the researcher could be experimentally participatory.

Explanation:

They are prevalence studies, in which the presence of a health condition or state is determined in a well-defined population and in a determined time frame: one day, one week, a particular moment in life, even if it does not temporarily coincide in all the subjects (for example, the blood pressure figures at the time of entering the school or at the beginning of the holidays, the prevalence of diabetes in hospitalized patients on a given day, etc.).

They are like "photographs" of a state of affairs at a given moment. The simultaneous determination of what is understood by exposure and event does not allow defining causality.

giving the incomplete equation 2N2O5 (g) which set of products completes and balances the incomplete equarion
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

The complete question is as follows

Given the incomplete equation: 2 N2O5(g) ==>  Which set of products completes and balances the incomplete equation?

A)2 N2(g) + 3 H2(g)

B)2 N2(g) + 2 O2(g)

C)4 NO2(g) + O2(g)

D)4 NO(g) + SO2(g)

The correct option is C) 4NO2(g) + O2(g)

Explanation:

Note that the products should be NO2 and O2 since the reactant is entirely made up of N and O. option A is not correct as hydrogen cannot emerge as a product in this reaction. Matter can never be created or be destroyed bu can only change in a chemical reaction. Option D is not also correct for the same reason.

Option B is not correct since it did not balance the number of atoms of O and N in the reactant side of the equation.

The option C) 4NO2(g) + O2(g) is therefore the right option since it balances both the elements and the number of atoms of the elements present.

When ethyl acetoacetate (ch3coch2co2ch2ch3) is treated with one equivalent of ch3mgbr, a gas is evolved from the reaction mixtur
pashok25 [27]
The protons of methylene group between the two carbonyl groups in ethylacetoacetate are acidic in nature. When compounds containing such acidic protons are treated with bases the loose proton and form enolates.

In this particular example when ethylacetoacetate is reacted with methyl magnesium bromide, the methyl group abstracts the acidic proton and converts into methane gas. The enolate when hydrolyzed is again converted into ethylacetoacetate as shown below,
