A standard 10.00 g mass is weighed on an analytical balance 100 times. The average and standard deviation obtained gives 10.12 ±

0.03 g. A calibration service is called. After the balance is recalibrated, the new measurements show 10.00 ± 0.03 g. Did the recalibration result in improved accuracy or precision?

5 0

Answer:

There was an improvement in accuracy. There was no change in precision.

Explanation:

<em>The average mass after recalibration is closer to the mass of the standard, </em>so the recalibration improved the accuracy<em> </em>(the measurement is closer to an accepted 'true' value).

The standard deviation did not change, so the precision (or how disperse the measurements are) was not affected.

Deffense [45]
A mixture can be separated.  Everything in a mixture keeps it's own properties and are not chemically joined together.  I am not completely sure about the compound.  Although with the cake example, the ingredients have been mixed and kind of "fused" together upon baking. Hope this helps a little. (P.S. trail mix is a good example of a mixture.)

In the Minnesota Department of Health set a health risk limit for acetone in groundwater of 60.0 μg/L . Suppose an analytical ch
siniylev [52]

Answer:

m = 4.7 μg

Explanation:

Given data:

density of acetone = 60.0  μg/L

Volume = 79.0 mL

Mass = ?

Solution:

Formula:

d = m/v

v = 79.0 mL × 1L /1000 mL

v = 0.079 L

Now we will put the values on formula:

d = m/v

60.0  μg/L = m/0.079 L

m = 60.0 μg/L × 0.079 L

m = 4.7 μg

So health risk limit for acetone = 4.7  μg
