Answer:

B). Precision.

Explanation:

During the course of measurements, two important factors are been seen to play key part which are accuracy and also precision. Precision here can reflect to the closeness of an answer towards the main value even though accuracy can show that too. Also it can show series of values been reproduced in the measurement flow; though in some cases can be a bit far from the actual value. Also its values are swen to be different because of repeatition and alsio in some cases, observational errors too.

A thermometer reads a pressure of 120 kPa at 0 ˚C. What is the temperature when the thermometer reads a pressure of 80 kPa? (Cel
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

T₂ = 182 K

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial pressure, P₁ = 120 kPa  

Initial temperature, T₁ = 0˚C = 273 K

We need to find the final temperature when the pressure is 80 kPa.

We know that, Gay Lussac's Formula is :

\dfrac{P_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{P_2}{T_2}\\\\T_2=\dfrac{P_2T_1}{P_1}\\\\T_2=\dfrac{80\ kPa\times 273}{120\ kPa}\\\\T_2=182\ K

So, the new temperature is equal to 182 K.

If an atom has the electron configuration 1s22s22p 1 , how many electrons must it gain to achieve an octet?
konstantin123 [22]
According  to  octet  rule  element  has  eight  electrons  in  its valence shell.This  give it  the  same  electronic  configuration  as  a  group  18  elements.Atom  with  electronic  configuration  1s2 2s2 2p1  require  five  electrons  to  achieve  octet. This  is  because the  valence  electrons  are  3 in 2s2  and 2p1  and  hence require  5  electrons  to  be  filled.

Which of the following molecules would be the best hydrogen bond donor?
leva [86]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When a hydrogen atom comes in contact with an electronegative atom then it results in the formation of a chemical bond.

More is the electronegativity of combining atom, more stronger will be the bond with hydrogen atom. As a result, the compound formed will not easily give up hydrogen atom upon dissociation.

Whereas less is the electronegativity of atom combining with hydrogen atom, easily it will donate the hydrogen atom upon dissociation.

Since, out of the given option sulfur (S) atom has low electronegativity as compared to oxygen and nitrogen atom.

Hence, CH_{3}SH will easily donate hydrogen atom.

Thus, we can conclude that CH_{3}SH molecule would be the best hydrogen bond donor.

Basile [38]

During the experiment, scientists noted that several of the reaction beakers became hot to the touch. All of the following reactions could cause this result except endothermic and positive ∆H experiments.

<u>Explanation:</u>

If the beakers are becoming hot during experimentation, then that means the energy is being released from the reactants during this experiment. As the energy is being released that enthalpy change will also be negative as the enthalpy change is calculated as the difference of enthalpy of reactants from products.

So in these cases, heat is released making the beakers hot. So for the exceptional case, the experiment should be endothermic in nature and positive enthalpy change should be there in the experiment. Such that the heat will not be released leading to no heating of beakers.
