This problem is requiring the balanced chemical equation that takes place when copper hydroxide and potassium sulfate are produced when reacting potassium hydroxide with copper sulfate.

<h3>Balancing chemical equations:</h3>

In chemistry, balancing chemical equations is based on the law of conservation of mass, which demands us to have equal number of atoms on both sides of the chemical equation. This can be accomplished by inserting coefficients in front of the chemical species.

For this particular case, we have potassium hydroxide with copper sulfate on the reactants side, however, copper can be copper (I) or copper (II) as it has 1+ and 2+ as its possible oxidation numbers. In addition, copper hydroxide and potassium sulfate as the products. Hence, we can assume this is all about copper (II) so we can write:

KOH+CuSO_4\rightarrow K_2SO_4+Cu(OH)_2

As we can see, potassium, hydrogen and oxygen have two atoms each on the products side, but just one on the reactants side; drawback we can overcome by putting a 2 in front of KOH so as to balance it:

2KOH+CuSO_4\rightarrow K_2SO_4+Cu(OH)_2

Answer:

Jeweler B = more accurate

Jeweler A = more precise

Error:

0.008, 0

% error :

0.934% ; 0

Explanation:

Given that:

True mass of nugget = 0.856

Jeweler A: 0.863 g, 0.869 g, 0.859 g

Jeweler B: 0.875 g, 0.834 g, 0.858 g

Official measurement (A) = 0.863 + 0.869 + 0.859 = 2.591 / 3 = 0.864

Official measurement (B) = 0.875 + 0.834 + 0.858 = 2.567 / 3 = 0.8556

Accuracy = closeness of a measurement to the true value

Accuracy = true value - official measurement

Jeweler A's accuracy :

0.856 - 0.864 = - 0.008

Jeweler B's accuracy :

0.856 - 0.856 = 0.00

Therefore, Jeweler B's official measurement is more accurate as it is more close to the true value of the gold nugget.

However, Jeweler A's official measurement is more precise as each Jeweler A's measurement are closer to one another than Jeweler B's measurement which are more spread out.

Error:

Jeweler A's error :

0.864 - 0.856 = 0.008

% error =( error / true value) × 100

% error = (0.008/0.856) × 100% = 0.934%

Jeweler B's error :

0.856 - 0.856 = 0 ( since the official measurement as been rounded to match the decimal representation of the true value)

% error = 0%
