Answer:

Quick you said:

-Purpose/Question

Ask a question.

-Research

Conduct background research. Write down your sources so you can cite your references. In the modern era, a lot of your research may be conducted online. Scroll to the bottom of articles to check the references. Even if you can't access the full text of a published article, you can usually view the abstract to see the summary of other experiments. Interview experts on a topic. The more you know about a subject, the easier it will be to conduct your investigation.

-Hypothesis

Propose a hypothesis. This is a sort of educated guess about what you expect. It is a statement used to predict the outcome of an experiment. Usually, a hypothesis is written in terms of cause and effect. Alternatively, it may describe the relationship between two phenomena. One type of hypothesis is the null hypothesis or the no-difference hypothesis. This is an easy type of hypothesis to test because it assumes changing a variable will have no effect on the outcome. In reality, you probably expect a change but rejecting a hypothesis may be more useful than accepting one.

-Experiment

Design and perform an experiment to test your hypothesis. An experiment has an independent and dependent variable. You change or control the independent variable and record the effect it has on the dependent variable. It's important to change only one variable for an experiment rather than try to combine the effects of variables in an experiment. For example, if you want to test the effects of light intensity and fertilizer concentration on the growth rate of a plant, you're really looking at two separate experiments.

-Data/Analysis

Record observations and analyze the meaning of the data. Often, you'll prepare a table or graph of the data. Don't throw out data points you think are bad or that don't support your predictions. Some of the most incredible discoveries in science were made because the data looked wrong! Once you have the data, you may need to perform a mathematical analysis to support or refute your hypothesis.

-Conclusion

Conclude whether to accept or reject your hypothesis. There is no right or wrong outcome to an experiment, so either result is fine. Accepting a hypothesis does not necessarily mean it's correct! Sometimes repeating an experiment may give a different result. In other cases, a hypothesis may predict an outcome, yet you might draw an incorrect conclusion. Communicate your results. The results may be compiled into a lab report or formally submitted as a paper. Whether you accept or reject the hypothesis, you likely learned something about the subject and may wish to revise the original hypothesis or form a new one for a future experiment.

A 1.0 mole sample of fluorine gas at 25 °C has an average molecular velocity of 415 m/s. What is the total KE of the gas sample?
Mariana [72]

The total kinetic energy of the gas sample is 3.3 KJ

<h3>What is kinetic energy? </h3>

This is the energy possessed by an object in motion. Mathematically, it can be expressed as:

KE = ½mv²

Where

  • KE is the kinetic energy
  • m is the mass
  • v is the velocity

<h3>How to determine the mass of the fluorine gas</h3>
  • Molar mass of fluorine gas = 38 g/mol
  • Mole of fluorine gas = 1 mole
  • Mass of fluorine gas = ?

Mass = mole × molar mass

Mass of fluorine gas = 1 × 38

Mass of fluorine gas = 38 g

<h3>How to determine the KE of the gas sample</h3>
  • Mass (m) = 38 g = 38 / 1000 = 0.038 Kg
  • Velocity (v) = 415 m/s
  • Kinetic energy (KE) =?

KE = ½mv²

KE = ½ × 0.038 × 415²

KE = 3272.275 J

Divide by 1000 to express in kilojoule

KE = 3272.275 / 1000

KE = 3.3 KJ

PLEASE HELP WHAT IS THE CORRECT ANSWER (if possible let me know why)
ANTONII [103]

Answer:I’m not 100% sure but I think it’s the first answer.

Explanation:

The pressure would increase as the molecules are pushing out word more and more, leading to more space being taken and more pressure. But then again, I’m not sure. I’m just a freshman with below average grades.
