How does the precision of a calculated answer compare to the precision of the measurements used to obtain it?

Chemistry

This question refers to significant figures. The reason we follow significant figure rules when performing calculations in science is that a calculated answer (which is an extrapolation of a manipulation of measurements) can only be as precise as the least precise measurement recorded. This means if you record measurements to a certain precision, the calculated answer at the most can only match the recorded level of precision as to balance the level of confidence in accuracy before and after calculations.

How much heat will be given off when 1500 g of water cools down by 20 C? please help and explain:)))
docker41 [41]

Answer:

126000J

Explanation:

From the question given, we obtained the following information:

M = 1500g

C = 4.2J/g°C

ΔT = 20°C

Q =?

Q= MCΔT

Q = 1500 x 4.2 x 20 =

Q = 126000J

What mass, in grams, of sodium sulfate is needed to make 230.5 g of a 3.5 % (m/m) aqueous solution of sodium sulfate?
andreev551 [17]

The percent concentration of a solution can be calculated from; mass of solute /mass of solution * 100. The mass of the solute here is 8.1 g.

<h3>What is concentration?</h3>

The term concentration refers to the amount of solute presnt in a solution. There are many ways of expressing concentration such as molarity, molality and percentage.

Here;

mass of solution = 230.5 g

Percent of solute =  3.5 %

3.5 = x/ 230.5 * 100

3.5 = 100x/230.5

230.5(3.5) = 100x

x = 230.5(3.5) /100

x = 8.1 g
