Do you get what you paid for?

Claim-

yes, you do get what you paid for you actually end up getting more than what you paid for.

Evidence-

Full-

  1. 30.40 grams                         
  2. 30.62 grams
  3. 30.50 grams
  4. 30.09 grams

Empty-

  1. 1.54 grams
  2. 1.52 grams
  3. 1.51 grams
  4. 1.53 grams

Difference-

  1. 28.86 grams
  2. 29.1 grams
  3. 28.99 grams
  4. 28.56 grams
Our precision was 0.54 which was more than .20

Reasoning-

Accuracy- related to the actual value of the object measured. Precision relates to how small a value can be distinguished by the instrument.

We were trying to see if you actually get what you pay for & see how precise and accurate advertising is.

first we weighed the bag of chips to see how accurate the weight on the bag was, then we weighed the same bags but empty, after that we calculated how precise the weight was to see if you really do get what you pay for.

3 question blog

1) Recently we have been diving more and more into the period table conducting labs on reactivity of elements. 2) recently I have learned how to label the periodic table, I have learned about alkali metals as well as alkali earth metals, as well as the development of the period table 3) I am planning to continue using flash cards and quizzing myself on material we’ve taken notes on to prepare myself for land and tests

exploring the chemist's Dozen, The Mole

1. GQ- Do average mass of different beans really equal a standard quantity? 2. During our investigation we gathered several different beans and we counted them out , weighed them, calculated the average mass, then we calculated the relative mass lastly. 3. in our investigation we decided our answer was yes because all the beans masses equaled a standard quantity because the count of beans were around the same number (20). To calculate relative mass you have to divide all the beans over the smallest beans  in this case it was all beans over lentils even lentils/ lentils This models the mole because although we had around the same count of beans in the end our masses were all different from each others. a mole is essentially different molar masses but containing the same number of particles in this case same amount of beans but different masses.
