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 %

What does the number next to ions signify?
dusya [7]
<span>The number next to the simbol of the element ions (as a superscript) means the number of charges of the ion. For example N (+),, where (+) is a superscript means that the charge of the ion is 1+. S(2-), where (2-) is a superscript, means that the charge of the ion is (2-). OH (-), where (-) is a superscript, means that the charge of OH ion is (1-) . </span>

Question 15 How many grams of NaCl are required to make 500.0 mL of a 1.500 M solution? 58.40 g 175.3 g 14.60 g 43.83 g
ExtremeBDS [4]
Hi!

To make 500 mL of a 1,500 M solution of NaCl you'll require 43,83 g

To calculate that, you will need to use a conversion factor to go from the volume of the 1,500 M solution to the required grams. For this conversion factor, you'll use the definition for Molar concentration (M=mol/L) and the molar mass of NaCl. The conversion factor is shown below:

gNaCl=500mLsol* \frac{1L}{1000 mL}* \frac{1,500 mol NaCl}{1Lsol}* \frac{58,4428 g NaCl}{1 mol NaCl} \\ =43,83gNaCl
