Accuracy
Closeness of the agreement between a measurement and the true value of the quantity being measured
Precision
Comparison of how close a series of measurements are to one another
Hwo are esters formed
Esters are formed by a condensation reaction between an acid and an alcohol
Primary alcahol to carboxylic acid
An ociding agent needs to be used. The reaction mixture needs to be a acidified and heated. In this process, the alcohol is first converted into an aldehyde and then into a carboxylic acid
Secondary alcahol are oxidized to ?
Secondary alcohols are oxidised to ketones - and that’s it.
N
Nuclear fusion
Is the joining together of nuclei
nuclear fusion - impact on mass
During nuclear fusion total mass of the particles decreases
