no problem the x2 is because the error could have either resulted in the value moving above or below the figure we were given so we have to take that into account and the .5 is because it is always the way we determine if we round a number or not. but the x2 and the .5 is used in all of the % error questions its just the number of dp's (ie 0.005 or 0.5) that changes...
idk if im explaining tht well its quite hard to explain but yah.. :)

hey

i'll help a bit

in all the percentage error questions u use the 0.05 ( it could be 0.005 it depends on the question but the june 09 question said to 2 dp so take 0.05)

0.05*2 u should always multiply by 2 just like what the previous fellow said and then u divide by orginal * 100 to get percentage

sometimes in the question itself they give u the percentage error so no need to use the 0.***5 cz as u should know specific/different apparatus have different accuracy

subsitution

well as i could think of

tertiary reacts by SN1 involves 2 steps
Secondary could go both
Primary reacts by SN2 invloves 1 step

as u know SN1 is faster so tertiary is faster if i found more convincing explanation i'll tell u as soon as possible
