Answer:

I believe it is accuracy

Explanation:

When preforming experiments accuracy and precision refer to two separate things. Accuracy is how close to the actual value you are while precision is how grouped your values are. The goal is to have both high accuracy and high precision. Standard Deviation is a measurement used for precision while Percent Error is a measurement used for accuracy.

if i add 25 ml of water to 135 ml of a 0.25 M NaOH solution what will the molarity of the diluted solution be

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

0.21 M. (2 sig. fig.)

Explanation:

The molarity of a solution is the number of moles of the solute in each liter of the solution. The unit for molarity is M. One M equals to one mole per liter.

How many moles of NaOH in the original solution?

$n = c \cdot V$ ,

where

$n$ is the number of moles of the solute in the solution.
$c$ is the concentration of the solution. $c = 0.25 \;\text{M} = 0.25\;\text{mol}\cdot\textbf{L}^{-1}$ for the initial solution.
$V$ is the volume of the solution. For the initial solution, $V = 135\;\textbf{mL} = 0.135\;\textbf{L}$ for the initial solution.

$n = c\cdot V = 0.25\;\text{mol}\cdot\textbf{L}^{-1} \times 0.135\;\textbf{L} = 0.03375\;\text{mol}$ .

What's the concentration of the diluted solution?

$\displaystyle c = \frac{n}{V}$ .

$n$ is the number of solute in the solution. Diluting the solution does not influence the value of $n$ . $n = 0.03375\;\text{mol}$ for the diluted solution.
Volume of the diluted solution: $25\;\text{mL} + 135\;\text{mL} = 160\;\textbf{mL} = 0.160\;\textbf{L}$ .

Concentration of the diluted solution:

$\displaystyle c = \frac{n}{V} = \frac{0.03375\;\text{mol}}{0.160\;\textbf{L}} = 0.021\;\text{mol}\cdot\textbf{L}^{-1} = 0.021\;\text{M}$ .

The least significant number in the question comes with 2 sig. fig. Keep more sig. fig. than that in calculations but round the final result to 2 sig. fig. Hence the result: 0.021 M.

What is Polar and Non-polar Covalent bond ?

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

nonpolar covalent bond: A covalent bond in which the bonding electrons are shared equally between the two atoms. polar covalent bond: A covalent bond in which the atoms have an unequal attraction for electrons and so the sharing is unequal.

Which parts of atoms can interact (react) to form chemical bonds?

EastWind [94]

The valence electrons are the parts of an atom that make interactions and make chemical bonds.
Every atom is made of three different components, a positively charged proton, neutrally charged neutron and negatively charged electron. The protons and the neutrons make up the atom's core and the electrons orbit around that core.
The electrons that orbit around the atom's core in its outer-most orbit (the one that is the furthest from the atom's core) can interact with electrons of other atoms, forming different kinds of chemical bonds.
If there is an exchange of the electrons (one atom donates its electrons to another atom), that results in forming of ions, then those two atoms can be linked in an ionic bond.
If an electron is shared between two atoms, then that bond is called a covalent bond.
