In an endothermic reaction, “delta H” is always positive, since the system is absorbing heat from its surroundings, not releasing into the surroundings like in an exothermic reaction where the delta H is always negative.
So our endothermic reactions would be the first (484kJ) and the last (92kJ).

Given
40 °C measurement
Required
The percent error
Solution
% Error : difference between the theoretical value and the actual value
or
% Error : Absolute Error / Accepted Value
Absolute Error = Measured Value - Accepted Value
% Error for Chemistry student :
1. Subtract the measurement value with the accepted value
= 40 °C - 43.2 °C
= -3.2 °C
2. Divide by the accepted value, and multiply by 100
= |-3.2/43.2| x 100%
= 7.4%
The question is incomplete, the complete question is;
In the Energy and Specific Heat lab, you measure the temperature change of water to study the specific heat of a metal. What statement explains the relationship between the water and the metal you are studying? Select one: O The heat lost by the metal plus the heat gained by the water equals 100. O The temperature change of the metal is equal to the temperature change of the water. O The heat lost by the metal is equal to the heat gained by the water. The initial temperature of the metal equals the initial temperature of the water
Answer:
The heat lost by the metal is equal to the heat gained by the water.
Explanation:
When the piece of metal is put into water, heat is lost by the metal and gained by the water.
Recall that energy is conserved hence heat lost by metal must be equal to heat gained by water.
Thus, the relationship between the metal under study and the water is that the metal looses heat to the water and heat lost by metal is equal to heat gained by water.
The prefix 'di' means two. Hence two atoms make up a diatomic molecule.
Hope this helps!
