Questions 1. The true percentage concentration of lead at a farm site in Oyo State, as determined by
AAS, was 6.50. An environmental chemist determined the percentage concentration of lead
at the farm site and reported the following percentage values: 6.65, 6.08. 8.68, 6,50.6.52.
6.99, 6.57, 6.49, 6.62 and 6.54.
i. Should the suspected (questionable) value be rejected? (Q-critical for 10 determinations
is
0.41).
ii. Use the above data to determine the: (a) absolute error, (b) percentage relative error, (c)
standard deviation (error), (d)standard deviation of the mean, (e)coefficient of variation
(CV) and (c) variance.

most historians agree that gabriel mouton, the vicar of st. paul’s church in lyons, france, is the “founding father” of the metric system. he proposed a decimal system of measurement in 1670. mouton based it on the length of one minute of arc of a great circle of the earth (now called a nautical mile, 1852 meters). he also proposed the swing-length of a pendulum with a frequency of one beat per second as the unit of length (about 25 cm). a pendulum beating with this length would have been fairly easy to produce, thus facilitating the widespread distribution of uniform standards. over the years, his work was revised, improved, and extended by a number of french scientists.

the political sponsor of weights and measures reform in the french revolutionary national assembly was the bishop of autun, better known as talleyrand. under his auspices, the french academy appointed several committees to carry out the work of developing a usable system of weights and measures for france. one of the committees recommended a decimalized measurement system based upon a length equal to one ten-millionth of the length of a quadrant of the earth’s meridian (i.e., one ten-millionth of the distance between the equator and the north pole).

nacl or sodium chloride is an ionic compound. this is because an ionic compound pertains to a compound that consists of positively and negatively charged ions. in this case, na (sodium) has a tendency to lose one electron when it reacts with with other atoms, so the resulting sodium ion contains 11 protons and 10 electrons, thus making it positively charged (na+), when chlorine reacts, it usually gains one electron to form an ion called chloride, thus making it negatively charged ( since the ions are oppositely charged, they attract.
