After analyzing rock core samples in an area with frequent earthquakes, many geologists believe a severe earthquake will occur i

n the area in the next 50 to 80 years. Other geologists, however, believe that such a prediction cannot be determined from the data collected. If these two groups of scientists have access to the same data, how can they form such different hypotheses?
A. Geologists manipulate data to fit their hypotheses, which results in different conclusions.

B. Scientific predictions must list every possible outcome to make sure that they are never incorrect.

C. Geologists have different specialties that can cause them to interpret data differently.

D. Scientific hypotheses need to be proven many times, so predictions of earthquakes are probably incorrect.

Answer: C. Geologists have different specialties that can cause them to interpret data differently.

Explanation:

The data is the outcome of a research study that is obtain after the implementation of the experimental methodology or by direct observation. The interpretation of data can vary among the scientists as they may have different perspective, knowledge and experience.

Thus according to the given situation, on the examination of rock samples in an area which exhibit frequent earthquakes, one type of geologists believe that a severe earthquake will occur and others believe that the prediction cannot be known by the data. This is indicating towards the fact that geologists in the given study may have different expertise, knowledge and perception which make them to interpret the data differently.

For which of the following activities might you want to hire a chemist?
Basile [38]

Answer:

OPTION (A) : Testing a rock sample for gold content

Explanation:

For testing a rock sample of gold content you will need a Chemist. To test the material, the sample is rubbed on black stone which will leave a mark on the stone. This mark is tested by applying aqua fortis i.e nitric acid on the mark. If the mark gets dissolve then the material is not gold. If the mark sustain the it is further tested by applying aqua regia i.e nitric acid and hydrochloric acid which will prove the sample is of gold if it gets dissolve on using hydrochloric acid. The purity of the sample can be checked by differing the concentration of the aqua regia and comparing it with the gold material of the known purity.

A chemical reference book says that substance x is not soluble in water
oksano4ka [1.4K]
<span>The normal dividing line for soluble/not soluble is 0.1 M. 

If a substance, as a saturated solution at room temp and pressure, cannot form a solution concentration of 0.1 M, then it is considered insoluble. 

The 0.1 M figure was selected because _most_ substances are either well above that value or well below. Some substances (calcium hydroxide is one? not sure) come close to the 0.1 M dividing line but there are only a very few.</span><span>

A student burned 0.250 g of magnesium metal in an open crucible.Oxygen from the air combined with the metal forming magnesium ox
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

0.171 grams of oxygen combined with the metal.

Explanation:

2Mg+O_2\rightarrow 2MgO

Mass of magnesium oxide produced = 0.421 g

Mass of magnesium metal used = 0.250 g

Suppose reaction completely converts the magnesium into magnesium oxide.

Mass of oxygen combined with magnesium = m

0.421 g = 0.250 g + m

m =  0.421 g - 0.250 g = 0.171 g

0.171 grams of oxygen combined with the metal.
