Answer: 20%
Explanation:
Relative error = Absolute error/actual value
= 0.1/0.5
= 0.2
Hence,
Minimum % Relative error = 0.2 ×100%
= 20%
Answer:
A reaction in which the entropy of the system decreases can be spontaneous only if it is exothermic.
Explanation:
The spontaneity of a reaction depends on the Gibbs free energy(ΔG).
- If ΔG < 0, the reaction is spontaneous.
- If ΔG > 0, the reaction is nonspontaneous.
ΔG is related to the enthalpy (ΔH) and the entropy (ΔS) through the following expression:
ΔG = ΔH - T.ΔS
where,
T is the absolute temperature (always positive)
Regarding the exchange of heat:
- If ΔH < 0, the reaction is exothermic.
- If ΔH > 0, the reaction is endothermic.
<em>Which statement is true? </em>
<em>A reaction in which the entropy of the system decreases can be spontaneous only if it is exothermic. </em>TRUE. If ΔS < 0, the term -T.ΔS > 0. ΔG can be negative only if ΔH is negative.
<em>A reaction in which the entropy of the system increases can be spontaneous only if it is endothermic.</em> FALSE. If ΔS > 0, the term -T.ΔS < 0. ΔG can be negative if ΔH is negative.
<em>A reaction in which the entropy of the system decreases can be spontaneous only if it is endothermic.</em> FALSE. If ΔS < 0, the term -T.ΔS > 0. ΔG cannot be negative if ΔH is positive.
<em>A reaction in which the entropy of the system increases can be spontaneous only if it is exothermic.</em> FALSE. If ΔS > 0, the term -T.ΔS < 0. ΔG can be negative even if ΔH is positive, as long as |T.ΔS| > |ΔH|.
If you are looking for what could contradict the scientific theory, the answer would be, "new experiments that contradict the theory". If a new experiment were to be proving something inccorect or somewhat false in a theory, than what would be the greatest challenge to it would be to test it.
I hope this answer helped you!
Answer: Explanation:
Conductivity of an electrolyte solution is a measure of its ability to conduct electricity. The SI unit of conductivity is Siemens per meter.
