The ph of a solution is measured eight times by one operator using the same instrument. she obtains the following data: 7.15, 7.20, 7.18, 7.19, 7.21, 7.20, 7.16, and 7.20. (a) calculate the sample mean. round your answer to 3 decimal places.

7.186

Explanation:

The mean is the average of some given data from a sample point.

To calculate the mean, we use the formula below:

             Mean = ∑fx/∑f

Where f = frequency

           x = sample data

From the given pH of the solutions, we can form a table:

      x                                     f                                          fx

    7.15                                  1                                         7.15

    7.16                                  1                                         7.16

    7.18                                  1                                         7.18

    7.19                                  1                                         7.19

    7.20                                 3                                        21.6

    7.21                                  1                                         7.21

Now ∑fx = 7.15 +7.16 +7.18 + 7.19 + 7.20 + 7.21 = 57.49

         ∑f = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 3 + 1 = 8

The mean = = 7.18625 = 7.186

consider the reaction below.

 no rx

at 500 k, the reaction is at equilibrium with the following concentrations.
