Answer:

It is both accurate and precise.

Explanation:

Precision and accuracy are two different terms used to describe data or measurements. Accuracy refers to how close a set of measurements/experimental values is to an accepted or correct value while Precision refers to how close a series of experimental values are to one another.

In the given set of data in the question below, the Correct Value is 59.2 while the experimental values are as follows;

Trial 1: 58.7

Trial 2: 59.3

Trial 3: 60.0

Trial 4: 58.9

Trial 5: 59.2

Based on comparison, it can be observed that these experimental values are close to the correct value (59.2). Hence, they are said to be ACCURATE. Also, the experimental values are close to one another, hence, they are said to be PRECISE.

Therefore, the data set is both accurate and precise.

In the flame test, barium ions produce a green flame whereas calcium ions produce a red flame. In your own words, explain these

deff fn [24]

Answer:

The Barium flame is green because it is a difficult flame to excite, therefore for it to trigger a flame it is necessary that it be too excited for it to occur.

The reddish color of calcium is due to its high volatility and it is sometimes very difficult to differentiate it from strontium.the compression of these elements is due to being able to make them work during combustion

Explanation:

The flame test is a widely used qualitative analysis method to identify the presence of a certain chemical element in a sample. To carry it out you must have a gas burner. Usually a Bunsen burner, since the temperature of the flame is high enough to carry out the experience (a wick burner with an alcohol tank is not useful). The flame temperature of the Bunsen burner must first be adjusted until it is no longer yellowish and has a bluish hue to the body of the flame and a colorless envelope. Then the tip of a clean platinum or nichrome rod (an alloy of nickel and chromium), or failing that of glass, is impregnated with a small amount of the substance to be analyzed and, subsequently, the rod is introduced into the flame, trying to locate the tip in the least colored part of the flame.

The electrons in these will jump to higher levels from the lower levels and immediately (the time that an electron can be in higher levels is of the order of nanoseconds), they will emit energy in all directions in the form of electromagnetic radiation (light) of frequencies characteristics. This is what is called an atomic emission spectrum.

At a macroscopic level, it is observed that the sample, when heated in the flame, will provide a characteristic color to it. For example, if the tip of a rod is impregnated with a drop of Ca2 + solution (the previous notation indicates that it is the calcium ion, that is, the calcium atom that has lost two electrons), the color observed is brick red .
