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

Chemistry

marusya05 [52]3 years ago

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.

Answer:

Gaseous nitrogen (78% in air) is fixed (by nitrogen fixing bacteria, and during lightning), then absorbed and assimilated by plants in the form of proteins, as well as nucleic acids. ... Nitrogen is returned to soil with excretory materials of animals and dead organisms.

Explanation:

Nitrates (or nitrites) are natural chemicals that are found in the soil, air and water. Nitrates are also used as a food additive to stop the growth of bacteria and to enhance the flavor and color of foodsAmmonium is also a general name for positively charged or protonated substituted amines and quaternary ammonium cations (NR + 4. ), where one or more hydrogen atoms are replaced by organic groups (indicated by R).an obsessive interest in or feeling about someone or something.

"our fixation with diet and fitness"

Denitrification: the loss or removal of nitrogen or nitrogen compounds specifically : reduction of nitrates or nitrites commonly by bacteria (as in soil) that usually results in the escape of nitrogen into the air

Based on the representation, which of the following statements about the element is true ?
Greeley [361]

We generally represent an element by its symbol. provided with the atomic number and mass number or atomic mass

Atomic number is the number of protons present in an element. It is constant for an element.

The mass number of element is the sum of number of protons and number of neutrons

The atomic mass is the total mass of all the protons and neutrons present in the element (in its nucleus).

the number of electrons is equal to number of protons in a neutral atom of element.

The mass of electrons is not included in the total atomic mass of element as it is very low.

So here

12 = it is the number of protons = atomic number of element.

The true statements are

The combined mass of protons and neutrons is 24.305

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

There are two possible answers to the question

I) decreasing the pressure of the system

II) decreasing the temperature of the system

Explanation:

Looking at the equation of the reaction, it can be seen that the reaction is endothermic. This implies that decreasing the temperature favours the reverse reaction and more NO2 is produced.

Secondly, decreasing the pressure drives the equilibrium position towards the side having the higher total volume hence decreasing the pressure favours the reverse reaction and more NO2 is produced.

Evaluate the exponential expression (−2)6.
Olegator [25]

A general exponential expression is something like:

A^n

This means that we need to multiply the number A by itself n times.

Using that we will get (-2)^6 = 64

With that definition, we can rewrite:

(-2)^6 = (-2)*(-2)*(-2)*(-2)*(-2)*(-2)

So we just need to solve the above expression.

Also, remember the rule of signs:

(-)*(-) = (+)

We will get:

(-2)*(-2)*(-2)*(-2)*(-2)*(-2) =  [(-2)*(-2)]*[(-2)*(-2)]*[(-2)*(-2)]

                                        =  4*4*4 = 16*4 = 64

Then we got:

(-2)^6 = 64
