Semenov [28]3 years ago

Answer:

The correct option is A: "He is trying to increase his accuracy but not his precision"

Explanation:

Accuracy of measurement is when the value of the measurement is close to the actual value of that measurement while precision is when the experiment is repeated using the same instrument but obtaining different values.

When Boyd changed the weighing balance in his experiment to a smaller one, the smaller weighing balance has better accuracy (smaller graduations) than the initially used one because the smaller weighing balance will provide a value close to the actual value of the mass of the product. If he had, however, repeated the experiment without changing the weighing balance, he would have sought to increase his precision.

From the description above, it can be said that Boyd was trying to increase his accuracy but not his precision

Balance the following equation:<br> MgO + HCl = MgCl2* + H2*O
kaheart [24]
<span>MgO + HCl = MgCl2* + H2*O

To balance an equation, you have to have both the reactants and products side equal. 

Mg = 1            Mg = 1
H = 1               H = 2
Cl = 1              Cl = 2

MgO + 2HCl = MgCl2 + H2*O

We added the coefficient 2, so they could balance. </span>

Dana is trying to determine if an unknown sample is a pure substance or not. The sample has a cloudy white color, and it seems e
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Dana filtered the sample and larger granules of the sample were left behind.

Explanation:

If a substance is pure, it will have a uniform composition throughout. It will not separate into particles of various sizes.

One of the characteristics of pure substances is that they are homogeneous. A mixture is definitely made up of particles of various sizes.

Since the particles was filtered and larger granules were left behind, the sample has been separated by a physical method (filtration). Only a mixture can be separated by physical methods. It is not a pure substance.

If the only chemical you can find is labeled with the wrong concentration:_______
Softa [21]

Answer:inform the lab instructor and get instructions

Explanation:

If you come across a chemical in the laboratory which has been wrongly labelled, do not be quick to dilute it or take any further action. The laboratory instructor who may have prepared the reagent himself or has better knowledge about the reagent should be contacted immediately so that he/she can give you instructions about what to do with the wrongly labelled reagent.
