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 %

The compound sodium carbonate is a strong electrolyte. Write the reaction when solid sodium carbonate is put into water:
Ludmilka [50]

The compound sodium carbonate is a strong electrolyte because it completely dissociates when placed in water into its component ions. The equation of the reaction can be expressed as:

Na_2CO_3_{(s)} ---> 2 Na^+_{(aq)} + CO_3^{(2+)}_{(aq)}

The dissociation leads to the formation of sodium and carbonate ions with the latter held together by its internal covalent bond.

This is unlike weak electrolytes that do not dissociate completely in water or aqueous solutions. Only a small fraction of the solute exists as ions in the solution.
