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?

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.

One hundred million copper atoms are arranged in a line. Which is a reasonable estimate for the length of this line?
Anettt [7]
The size of an atom is roughly 10^-10 metres

10^-10 • 100,000,000 = 0.01 metres

Since 1 metre = 100 centimetre

0.01 x 100 = 1 centimetre

A field worker is exposed to a xylene for a duration of 8 weeks at 40 hrs/wk. The concentration of xylene in the workplace is 40
Andrej [43]

Answer:

The chronic daily intake during the period of exposure is most nearly 0.012 mg/kg day.

Explanation:

Number of hours worker exposed to xylene = 40 hr/week\times 8 week = 320 hours

The concentration of xylene in the workplace =40 \mu g/m^3

The worker is inhaling air at a rate of 0.9 m^3/hr.

Amount xylene inhaled by worker in an hour :

= 40\mu g/m^3\times 0.9 m^3/hr=36 \mu g/hr

Amount xylene inhaled by worker in 320 hours:

36 \mu g/hr\times 320 hr=11,520 \mu g=11,520\times 0.001 mg=11.520 mg

1 μg = 0.001 mg

Amount xylene inhaled by worker in 320 hours = 11.520 mg

1 day = 24 hours

Amount xylene inhaled by worker in 1 day:

\frac{24}{320}\times 11.520 mg=0.864 mg

Assuming 70 kg body mass, the chronic daily intake of xylene :

\frac{0.864 mg/day}{70 kg}=0.01234 mg/ kg day\approx 0.012 mg/ kg day

The chronic daily intake during the period of exposure is most nearly 0.012 mg/kg day.
