A sample of lake water was analyzed to determine the amount of metals found in the lake. The standard deviation of the sampling

method was found to be ±6.0%±6.0% . The standard deviation of the analytical method used to determine the amount of metals in the sample was determined to be ±2.4%±2.4% . What is the overall standard deviation?

Answer:

The overall standard deviation, s = 6.46 %

Given:

Sampling variance, s_{b} = \pm 6.0% = 0.06

Analytical variance, s_{a} = \pm 2.4% = 0.024

Solution:

Variance additive is given by:

s^{2} = s_{a}^{2} + s_{b}^{2}                        (1)

where

s = overall variance

Also, we know that:

Standard Deviation, \sigma = \sqrt{variance}

Therefore the standard deviation of the sampling, analytical and overall sampling is given by taking the square root of eqn (1) on both the sides:

s = \sqrt{s_{a}^{2} + s_{b}^{2}}

s = \sqrt{0.024^{2} + 0.06^{2}} = 0.0646

s = 6.46 %

Repulsion of electrons within two interacting molecules produces changes in electron distribution. This change in electron distr
ycow [4]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

This explains how two noble gases molecules can have an attractive force between them.

This force is called as van dar Waals forces.

It plays a fundamental role in fields in as diverse as supramolecular chemistry structural biology .

If no other forces are present, the point at which the force becomes repulsive rather than attractive as two atoms near one another is called the van der Waals contact distance. This results from the electron clouds of two atoms unfavorably coming into contact.[1] It can be shown that van der Waals forces are of the same origin as the Casimir effect, arising from quantum interactions with the zero-point field.[2] The resulting van der Waals forces can be attractive or repulsive.[3] It is also sometimes used loosely as a synonym for the totality of intermolecular forces.[4] The term includes the force between permanent dipoles (Keesom force), the force between a permanent dipole and a corresponding induced dipole (Debye force), and the force between instantaneously induced dipoles
