Answer:
Scientists seek to eliminate all forms of bias from their research. However, all scientists also make assumptions of a non-empirical nature about topics such as causality, determinism and reductionism when conducting research. Here, we argue that since these 'philosophical biases' cannot be avoided, they need to be debated critically by scientists and philosophers of science.
Explanation:
Scientists are keen to avoid bias of any kind because they threaten scientific ideals such as objectivity, transparency and rationality. The scientific community has made substantial efforts to detect, explicate and critically examine different types of biases (Sackett, 1979; Ioannidis, 2005; Ioannidis, 2018; Macleod et al., 2015). One example of this is the catalogue of all the biases that affect medical evidence compiled by the Centre for Evidence Based Medicine at Oxford University (catalogueofbias.org). Such awareness is commonly seen as a crucial step towards making science objective, transparent and free from bias.
Absorbed photon energy
Ea = hc/λ.. (Planck's equation)
Ea = hc / 92.05^-9m
<span>Energy emitted
Ee = hc/ 1736^-9m </span>
Energy retained ..
∆E = Ea - Ee = hc(1/92.05<span>^-9 - 1/1736^-9) </span>
<span>∆E = (6.625^-34)(3.0^8) (1.028^7)
∆E = 2.04^-18 J </span>
<span>Converting J to eV (1.60^-19 J/eV)
∆E = 2.04^-18 / 1.60^-19
∆E = 12.70 eV </span>
<span>Ground state (n=1) energy for Hydrogen = - 13.60eV </span>
<span>New energy state = (-13.60 + 12.70)eV = -0.85 eV </span>
<span>Energy states for Hydrogen
En = - (13.60 / n²) </span>
n² = -13.60 / -0.85 = 16
n = 4
Answer : The Bronsted-Lowry theory was not against the Arrhenius theory, rather it was just a modification to the previous theory of acids and bases. Hydroxide ions are considered as bases because they have the tendency to accept hydrogen ions from acids and form water.
An acid was the one which produces hydrogen ions in solution because it reacts with the water molecules by giving a proton to them.
In a nutshell, he described bases as hydrogen acceptor and acids as hydrogen donors.
