Why do scientists measure and record mass instead of weight

The mass of our body remains constant everywhere...let it be on moon, sun or jupiter whereas weight changes everytime the gravitational force of a place changes. For example: if we are on moon, our mass is the same as in earth but our weight is 1/6 of the one on earth. To find our weight, knowing our mass is essential. So, mass is easier to find than weight. We must know that mass and weight are complete different things.

Mass is easier to get than the weight. weight is something that can change on the spot.<span />

A certain liquid X has a normal boiling point of 118.4 °C and a boiling point elevation constant K=2.40 °С kg-mol-1. A solution
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

43.47 g

Explanation:

The <em>boiling point elevation</em> is described as:

  • ΔT = K * m

Where ΔT is the difference in boiling points: 120.6-118.4 = 2.2 °C

K is the boiling point elevation constant, K= 2.40 °C·kg·mol⁻¹

and m is the molality of the solution (molality = mol solute/kg solvent).

So first we <u>calculate the molality of the solution</u>:

  • ΔT = K * m
  • 2.2 °C = 2.40 °C·kg·mol⁻¹ * m
  • m=0.917 m

Now we calculate the moles of benzamide (C₇H₇NO, MW=315g/mol), using the given mass of the liquid X.

  • 150 g ⇒ 150/1000 = 0.150 kg
  • 0.917 m = molC₇H₇NO / 0.150kg
  • molC₇H₇NO = 0.138 mol

Finally we convert moles of C₇H₇NO into grams, using its molecular weight:

  • 0.138 molC₇H₇NO * 315g/mol = 43.47 g

List three halogens, and describe a property<br> that they all share
iragen [17]

Answer:

Three halogens:

Fluorine, chlorine, bromine.

Explanation:

Halogens are present in group seventeen of periodic table.

Their are five elements in this group fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, astatine.

Three halogens:

Fluorine, chlorine, bromine.

All these share common properties such as,

All of these have seven valance electrons.

When combine with hydrogen they form acids.

H₂ + Cl₂  → 2HCl

All of these are toxic in nature.

They are highly electronegative and most reactive elements.

When combine with metals they form salts such as sodium chloride, magnesium bromide.

2Na + Cl₂  →  2NaCl

2Na + Br₂ →  2NaBr

Mg + Br₂  → MgBr₂

Mg + Cl₂ → MgCl₂

A blank is scientific knowledge established through direct observation and remains constant. Scientific knowledge can change whe
KIM [24]

The words that complete the blanks are hypothesis and experimentation.

<h3>What is scientific knowledge?</h3>

The process by which scientists obtain information and establish knowledge is;

Observation ---> hypothesis ------> experiments ------> Theory -------> Law.

Thus after the process of observation what we have is merely a scientific hypothesis that needs to pass through the process of rigorous experimentation before it is proven to be true.

Thus the words that complete the blanks are hypothesis and experimentation.
