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.

Classify each of these reactions. A single reaction may fit more than one classification. Ba ( ClO 3 ) 2 ⟶ BaCl 2 + 3 O 2 Ba(ClO

Lena [83]

Answer: a) $Ba(ClO_3)_2\rightarrow BaCl_2+3O_2$ : Decomposition

b) $NaNO_2+HCl\rightarrow NaCl+HNO_2$ : double displacement

c) $CaO+CO_2\rightarrow CaCO_3$ : Synthesis (Combination)

d) $ZnSO_4+Mg\rightarrow MgSO_4+Zn$ : redox

Explanation:

Decomposition is a type of chemical reaction in which one reactant gives two or more than two products.

$Ba(ClO_3)_2\rightarrow BaCl_2+3O_2$

A double displacement reaction is one in which exchange of ions take place.

$NaNO_2+HCl\rightarrow NaCl+HNO_2$

Synthesis reaction is a chemical reaction in which two reactants are combining to form one product.

$CaO+CO_2\rightarrow CaCO_3$

Redox reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which oxidation and reduction takes place in one single reaction. The oxidation number of one element increases and the oxidation number of other element decreases.

$ZnSO_4+Mg\rightarrow MgSO_4+Zn$

What is physical property?

ExtremeBDS [4]

A physical property is any property that is measurable, whose value describes a state of a physical system. The changes in the physical properties of a system can be used to describe its changes between momentary states. Physical properties are often referred to as observables. They are not modal properties.

Calculate the entropy change for the reaction: Fe2O3(s) +3C(s) -> 2Fe(s) + 3CO(g)Entropy data:Fe2O3(s): 90 J/K molC(s): 5.7 J

Annette [7]

Explanation:

We are given: entropy of Fe2O3 = 90J/K.mol

: entropy of C = 5.7J/K.mol

: entropy of Fe = 27.2J/K.mol

: entropy of CO = 198J/K.mol

$\begin{gathered} \Delta S\text{ = S}_{products}-S_{reactants} \\ \\ \text{ = \lparen3}\times198+2\times27.2)-(3\times5.7+90) \\ \\ \text{ = 541.3J/K.mol} \end{gathered}$

Answer:

The correct answer is C.
