Answer:

Accuracy and precision are alike only in the fact that they both refer to the quality of measurement, but they are very different indicators of measurement. Accuracy is the degree of closeness to true value. Precision is the degree to which an instrument or process will repeat the same value

A chemical reaction takes place inside a flask submerged in a water bath. The water bath contains 3.30kg of water at 23.8°C. Dur

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

$T_2= 31.9\°C$

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, it is possible to propose an energy balance in order to illustrate how the heat released by the reaction is absorbed by the water:

$-Q_{rxn}=Q_{water}$

Thus, since the heat released by the reaction is -112 kJ (-112000 J), it is possible to define the hear absorbed by the water in terms of mass, specific heat and temperature change:

$-(-112000J)=m_{water}C_{water}(T_2-T_1)$
