Answer:

35.578g or 36g if you round

Explanation:

Q=mc ∆∅ where ∅ is temperature difference

1160= m x 1.716 x (42-23)

m = 1160/ 1.716 x19

m=35.578g

m = 36g to nearest whole number

What is the percentage error of length measurement of 0.229cm if the correct value is 0.225cm
Mars2501 [29]

Percent error is the difference between the measured and known value, divided by the known value, multiplied by 100%.

So first, we take our measured value, .299 cm, minus our known value, .225 cm.

.299 cm - .225 cm=.004 cm

Next, we divide that by our known value

\frac{.004}{.225}=.0177777778

Finally, multiply your answer by 100

.0177777778 x 100= 1.77777778 %

Round to three significant figures, and you're done.

=1.78 % error

8. What is the heat of reaction when hydrogen and oxygen combine to form water?
valina [46]

Answer:

The heat of reaction when hydrogen and oxygen combine to form water is :

<u>C. 571.6 kJ</u>

Explanation:

Enthalpy Change = The enthalpy change for the formation of 1 mole of the substance from their standard state is called the enthalpy of formation.

This is intensive quantity as it is fixed for 1 mole .

Intensive properties = Those properties which are independent on the amount of the substance are intensive properties.

The value of these quantities does not get halve if you divide the substance into two equal parts. example , density, refractive index.

However , the enthalpy of reaction is extensive. Because on increasing the amount the value of the enthalpy also get doubles

Hence for this reaction :

2H_{2}(g)+O_{2}\rightarrow 2H_{2}(l)

Its value is -285.8 kJ for 1 mole

And here two moles are present . so the value of molar enthalpy is:

-285.8 x 2 = -571.6 kJ
