The medicinal thermometer commonly used in homes can be read to ±0.1°F, whereas those in the doctor's office may be accurate t

o ±0.1°C. Percent error is often expressed as the absolute value of the difference between the true value and the experimental value, divided by the true value: Percent Error= [|true value - Experimental value|/true value]x 100%. The vertical lines indicate absolute value. In degrees Celsius, express the percent error expected from each of these thermometers in measuring a person's body temperature of 38.9°C.

Answer:

the percent error expected from each of theses person's body:

in homes:

% E = 0.14267 %

in doctor's office:

% E = 0.257 %

Explanation:

  • ° C = ( ° F - 32 ) * (5/9)
  • % E = ( | true - exp | / true ) * 100
  • body temp = 38.9 ° C = 102.02 ° F

thermometer used in homes:

⇒ T = 102.02 ° F  +/- 0.1 ° F = 102.12 ° F ∧  101,92 ° F

⇒ T = 102.12 ° F  = 38.9555 ° C

⇒ % E = ( | 38.9 - 38.9555 | ) / 38.9 ) * 100 = 0.14267 %

in the doctor's oficce:

⇒ T = 38.9 ° C  +/- 0.1 ° C = 39 ° C ∧ 38.8 ° C

⇒ % E = (( | 39 - 38.9 | ) / 38.9 ) * 100 = 0.257 %

viktelen [127]

Answer: The solution is a SATURATED solution.

Explanation:

Although most substances are soluble in water, some are more soluble than others,that is , their solubilities differ. SOLUBILITY is a means of comparing the extent to which different solutes can dissolve in a particular solvent at a definite temperature.

From the question above, when water was added to the sodium acetate in the flask, SOME of the chemical dissolved into the water, meaning that some remained undissolved. This is because a given volume of water can only dissolve a certain amount of chemical in it at room temperature. If more chemical is added to such a solution, the chemical will remain undissolved. Such a chemical solution is said to be a SATURATED SOLUTION.

A saturated solution of a solute at a particular temperature is on which contains as much solute as it can dissolve at that temperature in the presence of undissolved solute particles.

Unsaturated solution is a type of solution that dissolves all its solutes with no presence of undissolved solute.

Supersaturated solution is one which contains more of the solute than it can normally hold at that temperature. It is an unstable solution which crystallizes out when disturbed.

If the order of a reaction with the regard to reagent A is 2, when the concentration of A doubles, the rate will
Anarel [89]

Answer:

Rate will double

Explanation:

Since the concentration of A is doubling the rate of reaction will also double, since in this scenario concentration is proportional to rate of reaction. So if the concentration of A were to triple the rate of reaction would also triple.
