Two groups were tasked to measure the mass of the metal objects given by their teacher. Rachel’s group has the following data fo

r 3 trials: 97 g, 98 g, and 99 g. Meanwhile, Ashley’s group has 99.5 g, 100.1 g, and 100.5 g. If the accepted value for the metal’s mass is 100 g, how will you describe the data of each group in terms of precision and accuracy?

The measurement of Rachel’s group is precise but not accurate while the measurement of Ashley’s group is accurate but not precise.

Precision has to do with how close together the values obtained from a scientific measurement is. If we take a look at the values obtained by  Rachel’s group, we will notice that the values are exactly 1.00 g apart. This means that the values are precise.

However, these values a far from the actual value which is 100.00 g therefore the measurement of Rachel’s group is precise but not accurate.

On the other hand, the values obtained by Ashley’s group are; 99.5 g, 100.1 g, and 100.5 g. These values are very close to the actual value which is 100.00 g  hence they are accurate.

The values obtained by Ashley’s group do not have consistent intervals therefore, they are not precise.

What happens when carbon dioxide is passed through lime water for a long time? write with equation​
Vlada [557]

Answer:

when CO2 gas is passed through lime water it turns milky due to the formation of calcium carbonate which formula is CaCO3.

Ca(OH)2+ CO2------ CaCO3

when excess of carbon dioxide is passed through calcium carbonate calcium hydrogen carbonate is formed and solution become colourless.

CaCO3+CO2------ Ca(HCO3)

Consider the reaction. 2 Pb ( s ) + O 2 ( g ) ⟶ 2 PbO ( s ) An excess of oxygen reacts with 451.4 g of lead, forming 367.5 g of
Art [367]

Answer : The percent yield of the reaction is, 75.6 %

Solution : Given,

Mass of Pb = 451.4 g

Molar mass of Pb = 207 g/mole

Molar mass of PbO = 223 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of Pb.

\text{ Moles of }Pb=\frac{\text{ Mass of }Pb}{\text{ Molar mass of }Pb}=\frac{451.4g}{207g/mole}=2.18moles

Now we have to calculate the moles of PbO

The balanced chemical reaction is,

2Pb(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2PbO(s)

From the reaction, we conclude that

As, 2 mole of Pb react to give 2 mole of PbO

So, 2.18 mole of Pb react to give 2.18 mole of PbO

Now we have to calculate the mass of PbO

\text{ Mass of }PbO=\text{ Moles of }PbO\times \text{ Molar mass of }PbO

\text{ Mass of }PbO=(2.18moles)\times (223g/mole)=486.1g

Theoretical yield of PbO = 486.1 g

Experimental yield of PbO = 367.5 g

Now we have to calculate the percent yield of the reaction.

\% \text{ yield of the reaction}=\frac{\text{ Experimental yield of }PbO}{\text{ Theoretical yield of }PbO}\times 100

\% \text{ yield of the reaction}=\frac{367.5g}{486.1g}\times 100=75.6\%

Therefore, the percent yield of the reaction is, 75.6 %
