Answer:

Accuracy of a measured value refers to how close a measurement is to the correct value. The uncertainty in a measurement is an estimate of the amount by which the measurement result may differ from this value. Precision of measured values refers to how close the agreement is between repeated measurements.

The tabulated data were collected for this reaction:

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

ai) Rate law, $Rate = k [CH_3 Cl] [Cl_2]^{0.5}$

aii) Rate constant, k = 1.25

b) Overall order of reaction = 1.5

Explanation:

Equation of Reaction:

$CH_{3} Cl (g) + 3 Cl_2 (g) \rightarrow CCl_4 (g) + 3 HCl (g)$

If $A + B \rightarrow C + D$ , the rate of backward reaction is given by:

$Rate = k [A]^{a} [B]^{b}\\k = \frac{Rate}{ [A]^{a} [B]^{b}}\\k = \frac{Rate}{ [CH_3 Cl]^{a} [Cl_2]^{b}}$

k is constant for all the stages

Using the information provided in lines 1 and 2 of the table:

$0.014 / [0.05]^a [0.05]^b = 00.029/ [0.100]^a [0.05]^b\\0.014 / [0.05]^a [0.05]^b = 00.029/ [2*0.05]^a [0.05]^b\\0.014 / = 0.029/ 2^a\\2^a = 2.07\\a = 1$

Using the information provided in lines 3 and 4 of the table and insering the value of a:

$0.041 / [0.100]^a [0.100]^b = 0.115 / [0.200]^a [0.200]^b\\0.041 / [0.100]^a [0.100]^b = 0.115 / [2 * 0.100]^a [2 * 0.100]^b\\$

$0.041 = 0.115 / [2 ]^a [2]^b\\ \[[2 ]^a [2]^b = 0.115/0.041\\ \[[2 ]^a [2]^b = 2.80\\\[[2 ]^1 [2]^b = 2.80\\\[[2]^b = 1.40\\b = \frac{ln 1.4}{ln 2} \\b = 0.5$

The rate law is: $Rate = k [CH_3 Cl] [Cl_2]^{0.5}$

The rate constant $k = \frac{Rate}{ [CH_3 Cl]^{a} [Cl_2]^{b}}$ then becomes:

$k = 0.014 / ( [0.050] [0.050]^(0.5) )\\k = 1.25$

b) Overall order of reaction = a + b

Overall order of reaction = 1 + 0.5

Overall order of reaction = 1.5

1. Why do scientists use a standard measurement system?

Margaret [11]

Answer:

Explanation:

1.Scientists use a shared system for reporting measurements called the International System of Units (SI). We use common measurement systems because science involves a lot of replication to confirm results. The most common system used in science is the metric system.

2.m, kg, m^3
