16
Q

Precision

A

How close values are to each other. Any measurement will have uncertainty due to limitations within the sensitivity of the equipment. The uncertainty is half of the scale on the equipment.

17
Q

Accuracy

A

How close values are to the correct value.

18
Q

Atom economy

A

A measure of the proportion of reactant atoms that become part of the desired product in the balanced chemical equation.

19
Q

Percentage yield

A

The actual amount you collect written as a percentage of the theoretical yield.

20
Q

Theoretical yield

A

The mass of the product that should be made in a reaction if no chemicals are lost. The actual mass of the product is always less than the theoretical yield.

21
Q

Avogadros constant

A

The number of atoms of C12 in exactly 12 grams of C12
