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

Ahat [919]

Answer:

1) No

2) The solvent contaminated the analyte

3) The solvent should be evaporated properly before washing and drying the analyte

Explanation:

During separation of organic compounds, solvents are used. These solvents are able to contaminate the analyte and lead to a large difference in melting point of solids obtained.

However, the error can be minimized by evaporating the solvent before washing, drying and melting point determination of the solid.

marysya [2.9K]

The mass of the product is <em>98.78 g.</em>

The word equation is

aluminum + chlorine → product

20.00 g + 98.78 g → <em>x</em> g

If each reactant is completely consumed, the <em>Law of conservation of Mass </em>tells us the mass of the product must be 98.78 g.

Describe how you could use two LB/agar plates, some E. coli, and some ampicillin to determine how E. coli cells are affected by
KiRa [710]

Answer:

For this experiment we are going to take plate 1 as the control plate, so, in it there will be just E. coli in LB/agar; in plate 2, we are going to put E. coli in LB/agar and some ampicillin.  Then, we have to wait for the E. coli colonies to form. After a while, the E. coli growth can be compared on both plates and determine if ampicillin affects or not the E. coli colonies.

Explanation:

If the ampicillin affects negatively E. coli colonies, we are going to observe that in plate 1 (control plate) there are E. coli colonies growing, but in plate 2, there is no E. coli colonies or, at least, there is a fewer number of colonies on it. If ampicillin doesn't affect E.coli, plate 1 (control) and plate 2 (ampicillin experiment) are going to be similar in number of colonies.
