Why critical thinking and skepticism are important to scientific inquiry?

Chemistry

Critical thinking and skepticism are important to scientific inquiry because they help scientists to thoroughly examine all evidence before making their conclusions, this allows them to avoid errors. Critical thinking refers to the attitude of asking questions constantly, thoroughly examining information and evidence and making valid conclusions. While skepticism refers to an attitude of doubt. These attitudes are very important in scientific investigations; it helps scientists to be able to provide good evidence on which they base their conclusions.

Without critical thinking and skepticism, it is far too easy to jump to conclusions and not analyze data properly.

The pH of a 0.150 molar solution of a weak acid is 4.10. What is the pKa of the acid?
Kamila [148]
Answer: 4.21×10⁻⁸

Explanation:


1) Assume a general equation for the ionization of the weak acid:

Let HA be the weak acid, then the ionization equation is:

HA ⇄ H⁺ + A⁻

2) Then, the expression for the ionization constant is:

Ka = [H⁺][A⁻] / [HA]

There, [H⁺] = [A⁻], and [HA] = 0.150 M (data given)


3) So, you need to determine [H⁺] which you do from the pH.

By definition, pH = - log [H⁺]

And from the data given pH = 4.1


⇒ 4.10 = - log [H⁺] ⇒ [H⁺] = antilog (- 4.10) = 7.94×10⁻⁵

4) Now you have all the values to calculate the expression for Ka:

ka = 7.94×10⁻⁵ × 7.94×10⁻⁵ / 0.150 = 4.21×10⁻⁸

6.5 Moles of Al reacts with 7.2 Moles of H2O What is the limiting reactant and calculate the Theoretical Yield?
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

H₂O is the limiting reactant

Theoretical yield of 240 g Al₂O₃ and 14 g H₂

Explanation:

Find how many moles of one reactant is needed to completely react with the other.

6.5 mol Al × (3 mol H₂O / 2 mol Al) = 9.75 mol H₂O

We need 9.75 mol of H₂O to completely react with 6.5 mol of Al.  But we only have 7.2 mol of H₂O.  Therefore, H₂O is the limiting reactant.

Now find the theoretical yield:

7.2 mol H₂O × (1 mol Al₂O₃ / 3 mol H₂O) × (102 g Al₂O₃ / mol Al₂O₃) ≈ 240 g Al₂O₃

7.2 mol H₂O × (3 mol H₂ / 3 mol H₂O) × (2 g H₂ / mol H₂) ≈ 14 g H₂

Since the data was given to two significant figures, we must round our answer to two significant figures as well.

THE CONSTANT MOVING OF AND HELP THE TEMPERATURES AROUND THE EARTH REMAIN ABOUT THE SAME AVERAGE
nika2105 [10]

New analysis through 2014 shows that temperature is once again rising at about the same pace as it did over the second half of the 20 th century. PRESS RELEASE. Using the data that were available at the time (through 2012), the last climate report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change concluded that there had been no statistically significant increase in global surface temperature
