The boiling of soy oil determined by a student in the laboratory turned out to be 319.5 oC. The accepted value of this melting point is 300 oC. What is the percent error in this reading?

Percent error = 6.5%

Explanation:

Given data:

Measured value = 319.5°C

Accepted value = 300°C

Percent error = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Percent error = measured value - actual value / actual value × 100

Now we will put the values in formula.

Percent error = 319.5°C - 300°C/300°C × 100

Percent error = 19.5 °C /300°C × 100

Percent error = 0.065× 100

Percent error = 6.5%

explanation:

metals have excess of electrons whereas non-metals have deficiency of electrons. thus, in order to gain stability metals easily donate their electrons to the non-metals.

for example, electronic configuration of sodium is and electronic configuration of phosphorous is .

when a phosphorous atom and sodium atom combine together then sodium will donate is extra one electron to the phosphorous atom. as a result there will be formation of ionic bond between sodium and phosphorous.

the reaction will be as follows.

there, are three sodium sodium atoms and each of them will donate its one extra electron to phosphorous atom. thus, the sub-shell of phosphorous gets completely filled.  

thus, we can conclude that electrons are transferred from atoms of sodium to atoms of phosphorous. this transfer makes the sodium atoms donate one electron and the phosphorous atoms to gain one electron. as a result, the sodium and phosphorus atoms strongly attract each other.

in cartography, a contour line (often just called a "contour") joins points of equal elevation (height) above a given level, such as mean sea level. a contour map is a map illustrated with contour lines, for example a topographic map, which thus shows valleys and hills, and the steepness or gentleness of slopes.
