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 %

Write a balanced half-reaction for the oxidation of aqueous hydrazine N2H4 to gaseous nitrogen N2 in basic aqueous solution
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

N2H2(aq) + 2OH^-(aq) ----------> N2(g) + 2H2O(l) + 2e

Explanation:

Hydrazine is mostly used in thermal engineering as an anticorrosive agent. Hydrazine can be oxidized in aqueous solution as shown in the equation above. Oxidation has to do with loss of electrons and increase in oxidation number.

The oxidation number of nitrogen in the equation increased from -1 in hydrazine on the lefthand side of the reaction equation to zero in nitrogen on the right hand side of the reaction equation. Two electrons were lost in the process as shown.

Assuming equal concentrations, arrange these solutions by pH.
LenKa [72]

Answer:

Highest pH(most basic)

Sr(OH)2(aq)

KOH (aq)  

NH3(aq)

HF (aq)  

HClO4(aq)

Lowest pH(most acidic)

Explanation:

The concentration of H+ ion will determine the pH of a solution. The pH actually reflects the ratio of H+ ion and OH- since both of them can combine into water. Solution with more H+ ion will have a lower pH and called acidic, while more OH- will have high pH and be called basic. Strong acid/base will be ionized more than weak acid/base.

Sr(OH)2(aq) = strong base, release 2 OH- ion per mole

KOH (aq) = Strong base, release 1 OH- per mole

NH3(aq) = weak base, release less than 1 OH- per mole

HF (aq) =strong acid, release 1 H+ per mole

HClO4(aq) = stronger acid, release 1 H+ per mole
