What are the source of error in determination of boiling point and melting point

<span> purity of the substance is usually the main error (for example: water with impurities will have m.p. less than 273K or 0 degree celcius while it's b.p. will be greater than 373K or 100 degree celcius). </span>
<span>-> air/ room temperature (it takes longer to cook in mountains and shorter at beaches) </span>
<span>-> parallax error (error by determining the meniscus of the thermometer) </span>
<span>and many more..</span>

Chlorine reacts with sodium and with hydrogen.

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Sodium Chloride has Ionic bond while Hydrogen Chloride has covalent bond.

Explanation:

Na has 11 electrons (2, 8, 1) and need to give away 1 electron to be stable

Cl has 17 electrons ( 2, 8, 7) and needs 1 electron to be stable.

Na transfers 1 electron to CL to form Ionic bond.

While

Hydrogen has 1 electron and shares with Chlorine to be stable.

Covalent bond involves sharing.

The half-life of nitrogen-13 is 10.0 minutes. if you begin with 53.3 mg of this isotope, what mass remains after 25.9 minutes ha

zimovet [89]

Hello!

The half-life is the time of half-disintegration, it is the time in which half of the atoms of an isotope disintegrate.

We have the following data:

mo (initial mass) = 53.3 mg

m (final mass after time T) = ? (in mg)

x (number of periods elapsed) = ?

P (Half-life) = 10.0 minutes

T (Elapsed time for sample reduction) = 25.9 minutes

Let's find the number of periods elapsed (x), let us see:

$T = x*P$

$25.9 = x*10.0$

$25.9 = 10.0\:x$

$10.0\:x = 25.9$

$x = \dfrac{25.9}{10.0}$

$\boxed{x = 2.59}$

Now, let's find the final mass (m) of this isotope after the elapsed time, let's see:

$m = \dfrac{m_o}{2^x}$

$m = \dfrac{53.3}{2^{2.59}}$

$m \approx \dfrac{53.3}{6.021}$

$\boxed{\boxed{m \approx 8.85\:mg}}\end{array}}\qquad\checkmark$

I Hope this helps, greetings ... DexteR! =)
