Answer:

2.44 %

Explanation:

Given that,

The calculated value of specific heat of water to be 4.29 J/g°C

The actual value of the specific heat of water is 4.18J/g°C

We need to find the percentage error of the student

\text{Percentage error}=\dfrac{|\text{actual value-calculated value}|}{\text{actual value}}\times 100\\\\\%=\dfrac{4.18-4.29}{4.49}\times 100\\\\\%=2.44

Hence, the student's percent error is 2.44 %.

A gaseous system undergoes a change in temperature and volume. What is the entropy change for a particle in this system if the f
deff fn [24]

Explanation:

Entropy means the amount of randomness present within the molecules of the body of a substance.

Relation between entropy and microstate is as follows.

           S = K_{b} \times ln \Omega

where,      S = entropy

             K_{b} = Boltzmann constant

             \Omega = number of microstates

This equation only holds good when the system is neither losing or gaining energy. And, in the given situation we assume that the system is neither gaining or losing energy.

Also, let us assume that \Omega = 1, and \Omega' = 0.833

Therefore, change in entropy will be calculated as follows.

     \Delta S = K_{b} \times ln \Omega' - K_{b} \times ln \Omega

                 = 1.38 \times 10^{-23} \times ln(0.833) - 1.38 \times 10^{-23} \times \times ln(1)

                 = 1.38 \times 10^{-23} \times (-0.182)

                 = -0.251 \times 10^{-23}

or,             = -2.51 \times 10^{-24}

Thus, we can conclude that the entropy change for a particle in the given system is -2.51 \times 10^{-24} J/K particle.

Consider the following equilibrium between N2O4 and NO2.[Heat is added to a brown 2 NO2 gas to yield a colorless N2O4 gas]Which
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

a.Low temperature

Explanation

Equation of reaction:

2NO2 <==> N2O4(g) ∆H = +ve

To cause the reaction to become darker brown means to produce more of NO2 gas. That is backward reaction.

Since the reaction is endothermic, decrease in temperature will shift the equilibrium position to the left thereby favouring backward reaction. This is in line with Me Chatelier's principle.

High pressure will rather favour forward reaction (it is not the right option).

What is the percent by weight (w/w%) of sugar in soda? Assume the average mass of sugar in soda is 23.0 g and the total mass is
Nina [5.8K]

The percent by weight (w/w%) of sugar in soda : 6.216%

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

mass of sugar = 23 g

total mass = 370 g

Required

the percent weight

Solution

%weight = (mass of solute : mass of solution) x 100%

solute = sugar

solution = solvent + solute = water + sugar

percent weight of sugar in soda :

= (23 : 370) x 100%

= 6.216 %

How many molecules of H2 will react with one molecule of the following triglyceride? CH2-O-C-(CH)14CH CH O-C-(CH)CH CH (CH)-CH C
disa [49]

Answer:

1

Explanation:

The full question is shown in the image attached.

If we look at the structure closely, we will discover that there is only one C=C double bond in the molecule.

It is worthy of note that hydrogen (H2) only reduces the C=C double bond. it does not affect any other bond in the molecule.

Hence, only one molecule of H2 is required to reduce one C=C bond present.
