If the uncertainty of a certain measurement instrument is not given, then it is assumed to be equal to half of the least count of that instrument. In this case, the least count is 10 ml, so half of this is 5 ml. Therefore, the graduated cylinder has an uncertainty of +/- 5 ml

Answer:

A. Second

Explanation:

The S.I unit of time is in Seconds.

The S. I unit is known as the metric system is the most commonly used system of reporting scientific measurements in the world today. Other units are the imperial units.

It is the international system of unit used in almost all countries. The seven basic SI units are:

        Quantities                                    Units

  • Length                                         meters(m)    
  • Time                                            seconds(s)
  • Amount of substance                 moles(mol)
  • Mass                                            kilograms(kg)
  • Luminous intensity                     candela(cd)
  • Temperature                               kelvin(K)
  • Electric current                            ampere(A)

The SI unit of time which measures the duration of an activity or event is therefore given as seconds(s)

A sample obtained from the national bureau of standards had a calibrated weight of 20.000. When it was used tocalibrate a studen
melisa1 [442]

Answer : The measurements are both precise and accurate.

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.

Level of precision is determined by the maximum number of decimal places.

When the level of precision is very very less, the measurement can be considered as most precise and most accurate.

As we are given the standard value of the sample is 20.000 and the values measured by the balance are, 19.995, 20.005, 20.001.

Since these three values are in the range of +/- 0.005 from one another. So, we can say that the measurements are both precise and accurate.

Hence, the measurements are both precise and accurate.

How many kilojoules are needed to raise the temperature of 234 g of water from 19.8 C to 33.1 C?
xenn [34]

Answer:

13 kJ

Explanation:

Use the following formula where Q is the Joules needed, m is the mass of the substance, c is the heat capacity, and ΔT is the change in temperature.

Q = mcΔT

The heat capacity of water is 4.186 J/g°C.  The mass of water is 234 g.  The change in temperature is 13.3°C.

Q = mcΔT

Q = (234 g)(4.186 J/g°C)(13.3°C)

Q = 13,027 J

Since the answer is in Joules, convert to kiloJoules.

13,027 J  =  13.027 kJ  ≈  13 kJ
