Answer:

Accuracy is the degree of closeness to true value.

Precision is the degree to which an instrument or process will repeat the same value.

Hope it helps....

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

An aqueous solution at 27°c contains 3.6 g of a protein in a 200 ml sample. the osmotic pressure is 0.0203 atm. what is the mola
umka21 [38]
In order to calculate the molar mass of the protein, we may manipulate the ideal gas equation:
PV = nRT, where n is the number of moles. We also know that:
n = m / Mr, where m is mass and Mr is molecular weight
Thus,
Mr = (mRT)/(PV)
Here, the mass is in grams, the temperature is in Kelvin, the pressure is in atm and the volume is in liters, so the molar gas constant is 0.082057.

Mr = (3.6 * 0.082057 * (27 + 273)) / (0.0203 * 0.2)
Mr = 21,828 g/mol
Thus, the Mr of the protein is 2.18 x 10⁴ g/mol

Select ALL correct answers. The contact force is caused by: A. Atoms randomly crashing into each other B. The charged particles
Inessa [10]

Answer:

A. Atoms randomly crashing into each other

E. The force of one object pushing against the force of another object.

Explanation:

Forces can be classified into two categories based upon the the mode of transfer or application:

1. Contact forces

2. Non-contact forces

Contact forces are the ones which require the physical contact of the matter to get transferred and tend to create the affect. Whereas non-contact forces have the field property which transfers the affect of force from one point to another without any physical contact of the matter or the medium.

  • Atoms crashing onto each other have some mass and velocity which upon collision impacts the other atoms exerts a contact force.
  • The interaction between the charged particles due to their charges is always due to the electric field be it electron or proton, be it within an atom or out of an atom.
  • The force between any two objects pushing or pulling each other is also possible only due to contact.

During a skin burn from an oven, approximate the skin and tissue layer to be infinitely thick compared to the damaged layer. The
Vlad [161]

Answer:

The depth of the damage is given as x   = 1.357*10^{-3}m

Explanation:

From Fick's second law

                 \frac{C_{x}-C_{0}}{C_{s}-C_{0}} = 1 -erf [\frac{x}{2\sqrt{Dt} } ] ...(1)

Where

 C_x is the temperature when the skin is damage

 C_0 is the initial temperature of the skin

  Cs is the temperature of the oven

 erf is a mathematical function known as error function

  D is the thermal diffusivity

 x is the depth of the damage

From the question we are given that

            C_x  = 62°C

           C_0   = 33°C

            D   =  2.5 * 10^{-7} m^2/s.

Substituting values into equation one

                    \frac{62-33}{200-33} = 1 -erf [\frac{x}{2\sqrt{2.5*10^{-7}} *2} ]

                  erf[\frac{x}{1.414*10^{-3}} ] = 0.826\\

       Let assume that  z =\frac{x}{1.414*10^{-3}} ...  (2)

Hence

           erf(z) = 0.826

Looking at the table of error function shown on the first uploaded image

 We can use interpolation to obtain the value of z in this manner

                  \frac{z-0.95}{0.8260-0.8209}  = 1        

                     z = 0.96

 Substituting the value of z into equation 2

           0.96 = \frac{x}{1.414*10^{-3}}

             x   = 1.357*10^{-3}m
