**Title: Analyzing Measurement Accuracy and Precision for Alloy Density**Four research teams measured the density of a new alloy, and their recorded observations are presented in the table below.**Objective:** Determine which of the earlier measurements by the teams was the most accurate and which was the most precise, given a later and more reliable density measurement of 7.70 g/cm³.**Table: Team Measurements of Alloy Density**| Team | What Was Written in the Notebook | Most Accurate Measurement | Most Precise Measurement ||------|----------------------------------|---------------------------|--------------------------|| A | “between 7.75 g/cm³ and 7.85 g/cm³” | | || B | “7.72 g/cm³ ± 0.02 g/cm³” | | || C | “7.6 g/cm³” | | || D | “7.50 g/cm³ ± 0.10%” | | |**Instructions:**- Select the most accurate measurement by comparing how close each team's data is to the reliable measurement of 7.70 g/cm³.- Determine the most precise measurement by assessing the spread or variation in the recorded data by each team.**Considerations:**- Accuracy refers to how close a measurement is to the true or accepted value.- Precision reflects how reproducible the measurement is, regardless of its closeness to the true value.

In this question, we are provided with experiment results by to research teams for the measurements…

Four research teams measured the density of a new alloy, and what each team wrote in its team notebook is shown in the table below. Suppose a later and more reliable measurement gives 7.70 g/cm° for the density of the same alloy. Decide which of the earlier measurements was the most accurate, and which was the most precise.

The noble gas argon was discovered by Sir Walter Ramsay and John William Strutt in England in 1895. Through this discovery, they made highly accurate measurements of gas densities. Their experimentally determined densities are: Oxygen 1.42952 g/L Nitrogen 1.25718 g/L Air 1.29327 g/L 1) To determine the density of atmospheric nitrogen, Strutt removed the oxygen, water, carbon dioxide, and argon from air and then filled an evacuated glass tube with the remaining gas. He determined that a mass of 0.20389 g of nitrogen has a density of 1.25718 g/L under standard conditions of temperature and pressure. What is the volume of the glass tube in cm3?

In the opening scene of the movie Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones tries to remove a gold idol from a booby-trapped pedestal. He replaces a gold (D = 19.32 g/cm²³) idol of dimensions 5.0 inches by 5.0 inches by 5.0 inches with a bag of sand of approximately double the volume with sand (D = 3.65 g/cm³).

Dennis obtained a clean, dry stoppered flask. He determined the mass of the flask and stopper to be 32.634 g. He then filled the flask with water and determined the mass of the full stoppered flask to be 59.479 g. Based on the temperature of the water, Dennis found the density of water in the Handbook of Chemistry and Physics to be 0.998730 g/cm3. Calculate the volume of the flask.
