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 %

What is the reduction half equation of Fe(s)+ 2 HC2H3O2(aq) → Fe(C2H3O2)2(aq) + H2(g)
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

2 H⁺ + 2e = H₂    ( reduction )

Explanation:

Fe( s ) + 2 CH₃COOH = Fe ( OOCCH₃ ) ₂ + H₂

Fe( s ) = Fe⁺² + 2e     ( oxidation )

2 H⁺ + 2e = H₂    ( reduction )

The following thermochemical equation is for the reaction of sodium(s) with water(l) to form sodium hydroxide(aq) and hydrogen(g
ra1l [238]

Answer:

1) When 6.97 grams of sodium(s) react with excess water(l), 56.0 kJ of energy are evolved.

2) When 10.4 grams of carbon monoxide(g) react with excess water(l), 1.04 kJ of energy are absorbed.

Explanation:

1) The following thermochemical equation is for the reaction of sodium(s) with water(l) to form sodium hydroxide(aq) and hydrogen(g).

2 Na(s) + 2H₂O(l) ⇒ 2NaOH(aq) + H₂(g) ΔH = -369 kJ

The enthalpy of the reaction is negative, which means that 369 kJ of energy are evolved per 2 moles of sodium. The energy evolved for 6.97 g of Na (molar mass 22.98 g/mol) is:

6.97g.\frac{1mol}{22.98g} .\frac{-369kJ}{2mol} =-56.0kJ

2) The following thermochemical equation is for the reaction of carbon monoxide(g) with water(l) to form carbon dioxide(g) and hydrogen(g).

CO(g) + H₂O(l) ⇒ CO₂(g) + H₂(g)  ΔH = 2.80 kJ

The enthalpy of the reaction is positive, which means that 2.80 kJ of energy are absorbed per mole of carbon monoxide. The energy evolved for 10.4 g of CO (molar mass 28.01 g/mol) is:

10.4g.\frac{1mol}{28.01g} .\frac{2.80kJ}{mol} =1.04kJ
