Answer:
A. Strong initial heating caused some of the hydrate sample to spatter out of the crucible.
Explanation:
Hi
The percentage of water in the sample is lower than expected.
A. Strong initial heating caused some of the hydrate sample to spatter out of the crucible:
If part of the sample is splashed from the crucible the mass of water detected will be less.
B. The dehydrated sample absorbed moisture after heating:
If the sample absorbs water after heating the percentage of water would be higher than expected.
C. The amount of the hydrate sample used was too small:
Depending on the sample size, different procedures can be chosen for analysis.
D. The crucible was not heated to constant mass before use:
In many occasions the crucible is heated next to the sample and not in previous form.
E. Excess heating caused the dehydration sample to decompose:
If the sample decomposes during heating, the analysis should be discarded.

Liquid makes up most of the body
Answer:
The size of soil particles is important. The amount of open space between the particles influences how easily water moves through a soil and how much water the soil will hold. Too much clay, in proportion to silt and sand, causes a soil to take in water very slowly. Such a soil gives up its water to plants slowly.
Answer: The Diver's air tank is filled with oxygen gas.
The filling of air tank while keeping in water can be explained in reference to the Charles' Law.
Charles' Law: It states that the volume of the ideal gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature at constant pressure.
(at constant Pressure)
The Scuba tank contains cold water and is present at high pressure. The gas which is put in the tank will be compact and would not expand. As the temperature is low inside the tank, hence by using Charles' Law, the volume will also decrease inside the tank.
When the air tank is filled, it is always kept in a tub of water because the pressure is high and hence, more oxygen gas can be filled inside the air tank.
Hey there!
The answer is D, Salinity.
Salinity is the concentration of salt in water. Ocean water often has high salinity and this can contribute to things like upwelling and water density- but these all start from salinity.
Hope this helps!
