Answer : The correct option is, Thermometer A, because it measures accurately to the tenths digit.

Explanation :

Accuracy : It is defined as the closeness of a measured value to a standard or known value.

For Example : If the mass of a substance is 50 kg and one person weighed 48 kg and another person weighed 55 kg. Then, the weight measured by first person is more accurate.

Precision : It is defined as the closeness of two or more measurements to each other.

For Example : If you weigh a given substance five times and you get 1.8 kg each time. Then the measurement is said to be precise.

The level of precision is determined by the maximum number of decimal places.

As we are given that the measurement of the temperature of a liquid at $41.4^oC$ .

From the given thermometer we conclude that, the thermometer A is more appropriate than the thermometer B because in thermometer A there are 10 divisions between the two temperature and the smallest division is, 0.1.

So, the temperature of liquid will be, $41.0^oC+0.4=41.4^oC$

(a) Write the reaction for the overall oxidation of propane (C3H8) with oxygen to produce CO2 and water.

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Oxidation is the loss of electrons, that is, addition of electronegetive elements, example is addition of oxygen. Also, removal of electropositive elements, example is removal of hydrogen.

Explanation: a) In the presence of excess oxygen, propane burns in air, which gives the following chemical equation:

C3H8 + 5O2⇒ 3CO2 + 4H2O +Heat

b) When insufficient oxygen or too much oxygen is present for complete combustion, the following equation is given:

2C3H8 + 9O2 ⇒ 4CO2 + 2CO + 8H2O + Heat

c) At the anode( negative terminal): O∧2- ⇒ O + e

Oxygen accepts electron.

d) At cathode ( positive terminal): H∧+ + e∧- ⇒ H

Hydrogen donates electron

d) Nernst equation for reversal potential is given as follows:

E= RT/zF In{ion outside cell}/{ion inside cell}= 2.303 RT/zF In{ion outside cell}/{ion inside cell}

A scientist claimed that he radiocarbon dated a fossilized skull of a dinosaur and found it to be about 63 million years old. Do

Elodia [21]

Answer:Since dinosaurs are thought to be over 65 million years old, the news is stunning - and more than some could tolerate. After the AOGS-AGU conference in Singapore, the abstract was removed from the conference website by two chairmen because they could not accept the findings. Unwilling to challenge the data openly, they erased the report from public view without a word to the authors. When the authors inquired, they received this letter:

Beth’s hygrometer is reading a temperature of 30°C and a relative humidity of 65%. The humidity in the air is how many grams/cub

emmasim [6.3K]

This is asking for the absolute humidity. So if the relative humidity is 65 % and the air temperature is 30 then we need to have in mind the barometric pressure which will be 760. The humidity in the air will be 0.020 kg/m3. In order to know this we calculate it eith the mass of water vapour in a unit volume of air. This is a measure of the actual water vapour content of the air. the for mula would go like this: AH = Mv / V.
