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.

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

Calcule la molaridad de una solución acuosa de ácido sulfúrico (H₂SO₄) que se preparó al mezclar, en un recipiente aforado, 4 mo
oee [108]

Considerando la definición de molaridad, la molaridad de una solución acuosa de ácido sulfúrico (H₂SO₄) es 0.5 \frac{moles}{litro}.

La molaridad es una medida de la concentración de un soluto en una disolución que se define como el número de moles de soluto que están disueltos en un determinado volumen.

La molaridad de una solución se calcula dividiendo los moles del soluto por el volumen de la solución:

Molaridad=\frac{numero de moles de soluto}{volumen}

La Molaridad se expresa en las unidades \frac{moles}{litro}.

En este caso, sabes que una solución acuosa se preparó al mezclar 4 moles del ácido con suficiente agua hasta completar 8 litros de solución. Entonces, sabes que:

  • número de moles de soluto= 4 moles
  • volumen= 8 litros

Reemplazando en la definición de molaridad:

Molaridad=\frac{4 moles}{8 litros}

Resolviendo:

Molaridad= 0.5 \frac{moles}{litro}

Finalmente, la molaridad de una solución acuosa de ácido sulfúrico (H₂SO₄) es 0.5 \frac{moles}{litro}.

You weigh out 0.1183 g of a complex salt to analyze for the percentage of cyanide ion in your complex salt. After dissolving the
Stels [109]

Answer:

25.35%

Explanation:

Again let me restate the the equation of the reaction;

H2O (ℓ) + 2 MnO4 - (aq) + 3 CN- (aq) → 2 MnO2 (s) + 3 CNO- (aq) + 2 OH- (aq)

Amount of potassium permanganate  reacted = 10.2/1000 * 0.08035 = 8.1957 * 10^-4 moles

If 2 moles of MnO4 - reacts with 3 moles of CN-

8.1957 * 10^-4 moles of MnO4 - reacts with 8.1957 * 10^-4 * 3/2

= 1.229 * 10^-3 moles of CN-

Mass of CN- reacted = 1.229 * 10^-3 moles of CN- * 26.02 g/mol

= 0.03 g

Hence, percentage of the cyanide = 0.03 g/0.1183 g * 100

= 25.35%

Consider the addition of an electron to the following atoms from the fourth period. Rank the atoms in order from the most negati
lesya [120]

Answer:

Ge: [Ar] 3d10 4s2 4p2 => 6 electrons in the outer shell

Br: [Ar] 3d10 4s2 4p5 => 7 electrons in the outer shell

Kr: [Ar] 3d10 4s2 4p6 => 8 electrons in the outer shell

Explanation:

The electron affinity or propension to attract electrons is given by the electronic configuration. Remember that the most stable configuration is that were the last shell is full, i.e. it has 8 electrons.

The closer an atom is to reach the 8 electrons in the outer shell the bigger the electron affinity.

Of the three elements, Br needs only 1 electron to have 8 electrons in the outer shell, so it has the biggest electron affinity (the least negative).

Ge: needs 2 electrons to have 8 electrons in the outer shell, so it has a smaller (more negative) electron affinity than Br.

Kr, which is a noble gas, has 8 electrons and is not willing to attract more electrons at all, the it has the lowest (more negative) electron affinity of all three to the extension that really the ion is so unstable that it does not make sense to talk about a number for the electron affinity of this atom.

What happens in the redox reaction below? Select all that apply.
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

B- Sodium loses an electron.

D- Fluorine gains an electron.

Sodium is oxidized.

Explanation:

The reaction equation is given as:

        Na  + F →  NaF

In this reaction, Na is the reducing agent. It loses an electron and then becomes oxidized. By so doing, Na becomes isoelectronic with Neon.

Fluorine gains the electron and then becomes reduced. This makes fluorine also isoelectronic with Neon.

This separation of charges on the two species leads to an electrostatic attraction which forms the ionic bonds.

A student designs an experiment to see the effects exposing a block of ice to sunlight over time. The students makes a hypothesi
jeka94

In this experiment, the experimental group is ice, the independent variable is sunlight while on the other hand, the dependent variable is block of ice.

<h3>What are dependent and independent variables?</h3>

Dependent variable is a type of variable in which a variable whose value depends on another variable while on the other hand, independent variable is a type of variable in which a variable whose value does not depends on another variable. Dependent variable is denoted by X whereas the independent variable is denoted by Y.

So we can conclude that In this experiment, the experimental group is ice, the independent variable is sunlight while on the other hand, the dependent variable is block of ice.
