Let us differentiate accuracy from precision. Accuracy is the nearness of the measured value to the true or exact value. On the other hand, precision is the nearness of the measured values between each other. So, for precision, select the student in which the measured values are very near to each other. That would be Student III. Now, for accuracy, let's find the average for each student.
Student I: (<span>8.72g+8.74g+8.70g)/3 = 8.72 g
Student II: (</span><span>8.56g+8.77g+8.83g)/3 = 8.72 g
Student III: (</span><span>8.50g+8.48g+8.51g)/3 = 8.50 g
Student IV: (</span><span>8.41g+8.72g+8.55g)/3 = 8.56 g
From the given results, the accurate one would be Students I and II. So, we make a compromise. Even though Student III is precise, it is not accurate. If you compare between Students I and II, the more precise data would be Student I. Therefore, the answer is Student I.</span>
0.7 my teacher just gave me the answer i got too lazy to explain why
Since the number of moles of a substance is the mass divided by the molar mass of the substance, we can just simply multiply the molar mass of magnesium chloride by the number of moles, which is 4.40 in this case.
To find the molar mass, refer to the periodic table for the relative atomic mass of Mg and Cl and add them together. Since there’s 2 chloride ions in MgCl2, double the relative atomic mass of Cl when adding.
24.31 + 35.45x2
=95.21
Now just multiply 95.21 to 4.40mol, which you’ll get 418.9g (corrected to 3 significant figures)
