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%

For the reaction2 C4H10 (g) + 13 O2 (g) → 8 CO2 (g) + 10 H2O (g)ΔH° is -125 kJ/mol and ΔS° is +253 J/K ∙ mol. This reaction is _
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

C. spontaneous at all temperatures

Explanation:

The spontaneity of  reaction is determined by the sign of the  gibbs free energy.

A negative sign denotes that the reaction is spontaneous, positive sign means the reaction is not spontaneous.

From the question;

ΔS° = +253 J/K

ΔH° = -125 kJ/mol

ΔG = ΔH°  - TΔS°

From the data given, the condition in which we can obtain a negative value of G, is at any value of T.

For any value of T, G would always be a negative value.

This means the correct option is option C.
