Answer:

17.04%

Explanation:

Actual Value = 173.1

Measured Value = 143.6

Percent error is obtained using the equation;

Percent error = (Measured - Actual) / Actual ]* 100

Percent error = [ (143.6 - 173.1) / 173.1 ] * 100

The absolute value of (Measured - Actual) is taken,

Percent Error = [29.5 / 173.1 ] * 100

Percent Error = 0.1704 * 100 = 17.04%

What would happen to the rate of a reaction with rate law rate = k [NO]^2[H2] if
Ede4ka [16]

The rate of a reaction would be one-fourth.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Rate law-r₁ = k [NO]²[H2]

Required

The rate of a reaction

Solution

The reaction rate (v) shows the change in the concentration of the substance (changes in addition to concentrations for reaction products or changes in concentration reduction for reactants) per unit time.  

Can be formulated:  

Reaction: aA ---> bB  

\large{\boxed{\boxed{\bold{v~=~-\frac{\Delta A}{\Delta t}}}}

or  

\large{\boxed{\boxed{\bold{v~=~+\frac{\Delta B}{\Delta t}}}}

The concentration of NO were halved, so the rate :

\tt r_2=k[\dfrac{1}{2}No]^2[H_2]\\\\r_2=\dfrac{1}{4}k.[No]^2[H_2]\\\\r_2=\dfrac{1}{4}r_1

How many moles of co2 must enter the calvin cycle for the synthesis of one mole of glucose?
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:3 moles

Explanation:

For every three molecules of CO2 that enters the Calvin cycle, one molecule of the three carbon glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P) is produced. Two molecules of G-3-P are required to produce one molecule of glucose. Therefore, the Calvin cycle needs to make a total of 6 turns to produce two molecules of G-3-P.
