Magnitude of $e/m$ for ${O^ - }$

  1. $10^{-12}$
  2. $10^{-20}$
  3. $10^{-22}$
  4. $10^{-18}$

B Correct answer
Explanation

Here: Mass of ${O^ - } = 16\,g/mol$ and

charge ${O^ - } = {\text{one unit}}$

$ = 1.6 \times {10^{ - 19}}C$

So,

$e/m = \dfrac{{{\text{Charge}}}}{{{\text{Mass}}\,{\text{ratio}}}}$

$ = \dfrac{{1.6 \times {{10}^{ -19}}C}}{{16\,g/mol}}$

$ = \dfrac{{1.6 \times {{10}^{ - 19}}\times C \times mol}}{{16\,g}}$

$ = \dfrac{{0.1 \times {{10}^{ - 19}}\times C \times NA}}{g}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\boxed{mol = NA}$

$e/m = {10^{ - 20}}\dfrac{C}{g}$

Two students are working on an AP Chemistry lab. Their assignment is to determine experimentally the density of a nonvolatile organic liquid, limestone. The accepted value for the density of limestone is $0.8422\ g/mL$. Each student conducts three separate density determinations, then calculates a mean (average) value for the density and the standard deviation for their three trials.

Student A Student B
Density #$1$ $0.8421 g/mL$ $0.8408 g/mL$
Density #$2$ $0.8514 g/mL$ $0.8502 g/mL$
Density #$3$ $0.8355 g/mL$ $0.8332 g/mL$
Mean Density $0.8430 g/mL$ $0.8414 g/mL$
Standard Deviation $0.0080$ $0.0085$

The results and calculations for each students are shown in the table below.
Of the four descriptions given below, which BEST interprets the accuracy and precision of Student A and Student B?

  1. Student A and Student B are equally precise, but Student B has more accurate results.

  2. Student A and Student B are equally accurate, but Student B has more precise results.

  3. Student A and Student B have equal accuracy and equal precision.

  4. Student A has more accurate and more precise results than Student B.
