Bud N. Chemist must determine the density of a mineral sample. His five trials yield densities of 5.15 g/cm3, 4.83 g/cm3, 5.08 g/cm3, 4.97 g/cm3, 5.12 g/cm3. Independent studies found the correct density to be 5.06 g/cm3. Which of the following is incorrect? a. The mean of his analysis is 5.03 g/cm3 indicating an error of 0.03 g/cm3 from the correct density B.His data has a standard deviation of 0.017 g/cm3 C.His data has a relative standard deviation of 2.60% D. He can report his analyzed density as 5.0±0.2 g/cm3 at a 95% confidence level E. The true value (population mean) is found within the confidence interval of Bud’s work
States of Matter
The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).
Chemical Reactions and Equations
When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.
