Answer:

Explanation:

Accuracy is defined is as the ability to perfectly repeat results in an experiment. It is simply reproducing the same set of result with little to no altercation.

Precision is nearness of the result to the true value.

(a) Checking for consistency in the weight of chocolate chip cookies: 17.27 g, 13.05 g, 19.46 g, 16.92 g

The result above is neither accurate nor precise. We can see a lot of inconsistencies in the readings shown and no repeatability whatsoever.

(b) Testing the volume of a batch of 25- mL pipettes: 27.02mL, 26.99 mL, 26.97 mL, 27.01 mL

The results here are accurate but not precise. They are a little bit off the 25mL mark but the experiment was able to reproduce nearly the same result.

(c)Determining the purity of gold: 99.9999%, 99.9998%, 99.9999%

This result is both precise and accurate. Pure Gold should be 100% and our values are very close. The experiment also was able to generate very accurate results.

Hydrochloric acid (75.0 mL of 0.250 M) is added to 225.0 mL of 0.0550 M Ba(OH)2 solution. What is the concentration of the exces
Shalnov [3]

Answer:  The concentration of excess [OH^-] in solution is 0.017 M.

Explanation:

1. Molarity=\frac{moles}{\text {Volume in L}}

moles of HCl=Molarity\times {\text {Volume in L}}=0.250\times 0.075=0.019moles

1 mole of HCl give = 1 mole of H^+

Thus 0.019 moles of HCl give = 0.019 mole of H^+

2. moles of Ba(OH)_2=Molarity\times {\text {Volume in L}}=0.0550\times 0.225=0.012moles

According to stoichiometry:

1 mole of Ba(OH)_2 gives = 2 moles of OH^-

Thus 0.012 moles of Ba(OH)_2 give = 2 \times 0.012=0.024 moles of OH^-

H^++OH^-\rightarrow H_2O

As 1 mole of H^+ neutralize 1 mole of OH^-

0.019 mole of H^+ will neutralize 0.019 mole of OH^-

Thus (0.024-0.019)= 0.005 moles of OH^- will be left.

[OH^-]=\frac{\text {moles left}}{\text {Total volume in L}}=\frac{0.005}{0.3L}=0.017M

Thus molarity of [OH^-] in solution is 0.017 M.

If this decay has a half life of 2.60 years, what mass of 72.5 g of sodium 22 will remain after 15.6 years
Vlad1618 [11]

Sodium-22 remain : 1.13 g

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

The atomic nucleus can experience decay into 2 particles or more due to the instability of its atomic nucleus.  

Usually, radioactive elements have an unstable atomic nucleus.  

General formulas used in decay:  

\large{\boxed{\bold{N_t=N_0(\dfrac{1}{2})^{T/t\frac{1}{2} }}}

T = duration of decay  

t 1/2 = half-life  

N₀ = the number of initial radioactive atoms  

Nt = the number of radioactive atoms left after decaying during T time  

half-life = t 1/2=2.6 years

T=15.6 years

No=72.5 g

\tt Nt=72.5.\dfrac{1}{2}^{15.6/2.6}\\\\Nt=72.5.\dfrac{1}{2}^6\\\\Nt=1.13~g

A 0.200 M K 2SO 4 solution is produced by ________. dilution of 250.0 mL of 1.00 M K2SO4 to 1.00 L dissolving 43.6 g of K2SO4 in
Artist 52 [7]

A 0.200 M of K2SO4 solution is produced by diluting 20.0 mL of 5.00 M K2SO4 solution to 500.0 mL.  

<u>Explanation</u>:

  •  When dealing with dilution we will use the following equation:

                              M1 V1 = M2 V2

where,

                      M1 = initial concentration

                      V1 = initial volume

                      M2 = final concentration

                      V2 = final volume

  • By diluting 20.0 mL of 5.00 M K2SO4 solution to 500.0 mL, we get

                            M1 V1 = M2 V2

     20.0 mL \times    5.00 M = M2 \times 500.0 mL

                               M2 = (20.0 mL \times    5.00 M) / 500.0 mL

                              M2 =  0.200 M.

Hence A 0.200 M of K2SO4 solution is produced by diluting 20.0 mL of 5.00 M K2SO4 solution to 500.0 mL.

An unknown metal is dropped into 127 grams of water. The temperature of the water has been raised from 25OC to 28OC. Using the s
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

he amount of heat gained by the water is 1.59 kJ    

Explanation:

Relation between heat energy, specific heat and temperature change is as follows

Q = mCΔT

where,    Q or q = heat energy

             m = mass

             C = specific heat  =4.186J/g°C

ΔT = (28°C - 25°C) = 3°C

Now, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

Q = mCΔT

= 127 × 4.186 × 3

= 1594.86 J or 1.59 kJ    

Therefore, we can conclude that the amount of heat gained by the water is 1.59 kJ
