The control group defined as a group that does not include any change to the inconstant being tested. Why is a control crucial in an experiment? The control group is crucial because it acts as a benchmark to variatethe results of the experiment to. The experimental group is the group that the scientist is examing . The experimental group receives a change to a variable, or the conditions allowed to change in the experiment.

There are two types of control group : Positive control groups and Negative control groups

The positive control group is a group that is contrive to produce the effect you are looking for in the experimental group. The positive control group shows the scientists that the craved results are achievable . This helps stop false negative outcome in the experimental group, where a negative result is receive but is due to a failure in the experiment instead than a truly negative result based on the experimental conditions.

A negative control group is a group that is not exposed to the different scientist is testing, called the independent variable. A negative control group function as a benchmark to secure that the results that are got are actually due to the independent variable and not anything else

If a substance has a half life of 58 years and starts with 500 g radioactive, how much remains radioactive after 30 years?

Vilka [71]

Answer:

A = 349 g.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since the radioactive decay kinetic model is based on the first-order kinetics whose integrated rate law is:

$A=Ao*exp(-kt)$

We can firstly calculate the rate constant given the half-life as shown below:

$k=\frac{ln(2)}{t_{1/2}} =\frac{ln(2)}{58year}=0.012year^{-1}$

Therefore, we can next plug in the rate constant, elapsed time and initial mass of the radioactive to obtain:

$A=500g*exp(-0.012year^{-1} *30year)\\\\A=349g$

Regards!

How do you know flammability is a chemical property?

Reika [66]

Because flammable objects have certain substances, you know that it is a chemical property. For example, cloth is flammable and has a certain substance that MAKES it flammable. This results in a chemical property.

What mass of HCL, in grams, is required to react with 0.610 g of al(oh)3 ?

kompoz [17]

Answer: 0.8541 grams of HCl will be required.

Explanation: Moles can be calculated by using the formula:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Given mass of $Al(OH)_3$ = 0.610 g

Molar mass of $Al(OH)_3$ = 78 g/mol

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{0.610g}{78g/mol}$

Number of moles of $Al(OH)_3$ = 0.0078 moles

The reaction between $Al(OH)_3$ and HCl is a type of neutralization reaction because here acid and base are reacting to form an salt and also releases water.

Chemical equation for the above reaction follows:

$Al(OH)_3+3HCl\rightarrow AlCl_3+3H_2O$
