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.

43 milliliters of water weighs 43 g. what is the density of the water?

Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

$\rho =1g/mL$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the density is defined as the ratio between the mass and the volume as shown below:

$\rho =\frac{m}{V}$

We can compute the density of water for the given 43 g that occupy the volume of 43 mL:

$\rho =\frac{43g}{43mL}=1g/mL$

Regards.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

[RxN - Balanced] 2C + O₂ → 2CO₂

[Given] 0.25 moles O₂

[Solve] moles CO₂

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

[RxN] 1 mol O₂ → 2 mol CO₂

<u>Step 3: Stoichiometry</u>

[DA] Set up: $\displaystyle 0.25 \ moles \ O_2(\frac{2 \ mol \ CO_2}{1 \ mol \ O_2})$
[DA] Multiply/Divide [Cancel out units]: $\displaystyle 0.5 \ mol \ CO_2$
