Answer

The four steps of the scientific method are:

1) Observation and description of a natural phenomenon of group of phenomena;

2) Formulation of a hypothesis to explain the phenomena;

3) Use of the hypothesis to predict the existence of other phenomena or to predict quantitatively the results of new observations, i.e to test the hypothesis if the hypothesis is true, find more evidence or find counter-evidence, if the hypothesis is false, create a new hypothesis or try again; and

4) Draw conclusions and repeat –the scientific method is never-ending, and no result is ever considered perfect.

If there was a chemical spill into the waterways near Dayton, would the communities along the Mill Creek need to worry? Explain.

Alona [7]

Yes they will need to worry cause the chemicals could spread in the water making it explode and kill animals and it would be very bad

Consider the reaction of peroxydisulfate ion (S2O2−8) with iodide ion (I−) in aqueous solution: S2O2−8(aq)+3I−(aq)→2SO2−4(aq)+I−

Answer:

r = 3.61x $10^{-6}$ M/s

Explanation:

The rate of disappearance (r) is given by the multiplication of the concentrations of the reagents, each one raised of the coefficient of the reaction.

r = k. $[S2O2^{-8} ]^{x} x [I^{-} ]^{y}$

K is the constant of the reaction, and doesn't depends on the concentrations. First, let's find the coefficients x and y. Let's use the first and the second experiments, and lets divide 1º by 2º :

$\frac{r1}{r2} = \frac{0.018^{x} x0.036^{y} }{0.027^xx0.036^y}$

$\frac{2.6x10^{-6}}{3.9x10^{-6}} = (\frac{0.018}{0.027})^xx(\frac{0.036}{0.036})^y$

$0.67 = 0.67^x$

x = 1

Now, to find the coefficient y let's do the same for the experiments 1 and 3:

$\frac{r1}{r3} = \frac{0.018x0.036^y}{0.036x0.054^y}$

$\frac{2.6x10^{-6}}{7.8x10^{-6}} = (\frac{0.018}{0.036})x(\frac{0.036}{0.054})^y$

$0.33 = 0.5x 0.67^y$

$0.67 = 0.67^y$

y = 1

Now, we need to calculate the constant k in whatever experiment. Using the first :

$2.6x10^{-6} = kx0.018x0.036$ $kx6.48x10^{-4} = 2.6x10^{-6}$

k = 4.01x10^{-3} M^{-1}s^{-1}[/tex]

Using the data given,

r = $4.01x10^{-3}x1.8x10^{-2}x5.0x10^{-2}$

r = 3.61x $10^{-6}$ M/s
