Answer:

9.6 %

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: How to define  percent error ? </u>

⇒ % error is the difference between a measured value and the known or accepted value

⇒Percent error is calculated using the following formula:

⇒%error  =  | Experimental value-theoretical value/theoretical value |  x100%

⇔ this can be written as well as : error = (| Experimental value/ theoretical value | - | Theoretical value / Theoretical value | ) x100%

<u>Step 2: Calculate % error</u>

In this case, this means :

%error = ( |(4.45 cm - 4.06cm ) / 4.06cm | ) x100%

%error = 0.096 x100%

%error =9.6 %

The reaction between carbon tetrachloride, CCl4, and water, H2O, to form carbon dioxide, CO2, and hydrogen chloride, HCl, has a
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

High activation energy is the reason behind unsuccessful reaction.

Explanation:

There are two types of reaction: (1) thermodynamically controlled reaction and (2) kinetically controlled reaction.

Thermodynamically controlled reaction are associated with change in enthalpy during reaction. More negative the enthalpy change, more favored will be the reaction.

Kinetically controlled reaction are associated with activation energy of a reaction. The lower the activation energy value, the more rapid will be the reaction.

Here, reaction between CCl_{4} and H_{2}O is thermodynamically favored due to negative enthalpy change but the high activation energy does not allow the reaction to take place by simple mixing.

Help please chemistry will give brainliest
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

The Ideal Gas Law states that PV=nRT.

Rearrange that into P/n=RT/V.

In this case, the cylinder is rigid so the volume, V, does not change.

Temperature does not change either.

Out of 450 grams of gas, 150 grams leak out. So only 450-150 = 300 grams is left.

n is number of moles which is dependent on mass:

n1/n2 = 450/300 = 3/2

P1/n1 = RT/V = P2/n2

P2 = P1/n1*n2

= 7.2/3*2

= 4.8 atmosphere

What is the land part of the earth called?
Molodets [167]

The Land Hemisphere is the part of the Earth that encompasses the largest portion of land on the planet. Despite being called the Land Hemisphere, the area of water in the hemisphere is greater than that of the area of land present here. The Land Hemisphere has its center at 47°13′N 1°32′W which is located near the French city of Nantes. The Land Hemisphere includes most of Asia and South America and the whole of Africa, Europe, and North America. Seven-eighths of the land area of the Earth is part of this hemisphere
