Suppose a student repeats a measurement two times and then calculates the standard deviation. Because the standard deviation is

small, the student reports that their experiment was extremely precise. Is the student's conclusion appropriate?
A) No, because there were not enough measurements to use standard deviation.
B) Yes, because a small standard deviation indicates greater precision
C) Yes, because a small data set always has excellent precision
D) No, because a large standard deviation indicates greater precision

Answer:

The correct answer is option B, that is, a small standard deviation suggests greater precision.

Explanation:

A determination of precision is a standard deviation, it is more reliable in comparison to mean deviation. The square root of the total of the squares of the deviations divided by the degree of freedom for the array of measurements is known as standard deviation.  

The precision of low standard deviation value is more as the results or observations demonstrated by the low standard deviation are more close to average.

What is the difference between Hydrolysis and Hydration?​
Grace [21]
Hydrolysis involves the reaction of water with another compound.Hydrolysis is the process in which the bond breaks due to addition of water whereas in hydration there is just addition of water, the molecule doesn’t break down.

7. Diethyl ether burns in air according to the following equation. C4H10O(l) + 6O2 (g) → 4CO2 (g) + 5H2O(l) If 7.15 L of CO2 is
iren [92.7K]

From the stoichiometry of the combustion reaction, we can see that 7.4 L of oxygen is consumed.

<h3>What is combustion?</h3>

Combustion is a reaction in which a substance is burnt in oxygen. The equation of the reaction is; C4H10O(l) + 6O2 (g) → 4CO2 (g) + 5H2O(l)

We can obtain the number of moles of CO2 from;

PV = nRT

n = 1.02 atm * 7.15 L/0.082 atm LK-1mol-1 * (125 + 273) K

n = 7.29 /32.6

n = 0.22 moles

If 6 moles of oxygen produces 4 moles of CO2

x moles of oxygen produces 0.22 moles of CO2

x = 0.33  moles

1 mole of oxygen occupies 22.4 L

0.33 moles of oxygen occupies 0.33 moles *  22.4 L/ 1 mole

= 7.4 L of oxygen

Rank these compounds by their expected boiling point? CH4 CH3Cl CH3OH? Lowest to highest; 10+ for the best explanation. Thank yo
docker41 [41]
Methane, CH4, would have the lowest boiling point among the three since it has the lowest number of carbon and has no functional groups. Methanol would have the highest boiling point since it has a functional group which contains hydrogen bonding which much stronger than the one in CH3Cl. Hope this helps.<span />

In the Bohr model, ____ electrons fill the first energy level, ____ electrons fill the second energy level, and ___ electrons fi
Setler [38]
The answer is d Thus, the first energy level holds 2 * 1^2 = 2 electrons, while the second holds 2 * 2^2 = 8 electrons. Each orbital. The third energy level can hold up to 18 electrons, meaning that it is not full when it has only electrons.
