There are no numbers provided so I will try to explain the equation. If you want to find the percent error you would do theoretical (the number it’s supposed to be) minus experimental (the number you got in the experiment) over the theoretical value (same as the first one.) You must multiply this by 100 in order to show the actual percentage rather than very low decimals. You want the percent error to be as low as possible because the lower it is the less mistakes happened. Mistakes can include too much/less of solvent, solution, or the glassware wasn’t clean enough, and much much more.
I hope this helps!

Can’t tell ya bc you didn’t list the answers
Answer:
sodium ion has smaller radius than a atom.
Explanation:
When a neutrally charged atom loses an electron to another atom, the result is the creation of two ions (cation and anion).
2-Methyl-4-oxo-pentanoic acid is unlikely to produce 2-Methyl-3-butanone upon strong heating.
Upon heating, the β ketoacid becomes unstable and decarboxylates, leading to the formation of the methyl ketone.
A carboxylic acid is an organic acid that contains a carboxyl group (C(=O)OH) attached to an R-group. The general formula of a carboxylic acid is R−COOH or R−CO2H, with R referring to the alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, or other group.
Carboxylic acids occur widely. Important examples include the amino acids and fatty acids. Deprotonation of a carboxylic acid gives a carboxylate anion.

Q. Which reactant is unlikely to produce the indicated product upon strong heating?
- A) 2,2-Dimethylpropanedioic acid 2-methylpropanoic acid
- B) 2-Ethylpropanedioic acid Butanoic acid
- C) 2-Methyl-3-oxo-pentanoic acid 3-Pentanone
- D) 2-Methyl-4-oxo-pentanoic acid 2-Methyl-3-butanone
- E) 4-Methyl-3-oxo-heptanoic acid 3-Methyl-2-hexanone
Hence, option (D) is correct.
