g. This means that even though the smallest division on the
front scale of the balance corresponds to 0.01 g, no estimating
is done between the divisions. This is the only exception you
will encounter in lab to the rules described in experiment 1
about using ruler-like scales. The result is that accurate
masses determined using a centigram balance will be recorded
only to the nearest 0.01 g

b. Remember that the number of coins contained in each group
recorded in Table 2.8 is an exact counting number that will not
influence the number of significant figures used in expressing
the calculated average coin masses recorded in Table 2.9.

Below, match the different types of errors with their corresponding definitions. Group of answer choices Errors that have an equal chance to be positive or negative. These errors will arise because it is impossible to make any measurement completely exact. Errors that will have a consistent directional bias every time the experiment is carried out. These errors tend to always be positive or negative, meaning over or underestimating, respectively, the true value of the measurement due to experimental limitations. An error that is within the direct control and/or caused by a mistake from the chemist. Options Random error Systematic error Human mistakearrow_forwardWhy should the selected rule(s) be followed? Weighing wet items will cause the displayed mass to be greater than the actual mass of the object. A residue left on the balance will contaminate the balance pan surface and anything that comes into contact with it afterwards. Objects at any temperature other than room temperature can create air currents which can affect the balance pan, causing the measured mass to be higher or lower than the true mass. There may be discrepancies in accuracy between individual balances.arrow_forward

You checked for outliers and found none. The standard deviation for the set came out to be (s = 5.757 bushels) and the average came out to 197.857 bushels. How many bushels of corn per acre of land did the Kickapoo area produce? Are these measurements accurate and precise? Explain.arrow_forwardAn aspirin tablet has a mass of 9820.0 mg.
