She wanted to find out if a fluorescent lightbulb generated less heat in a room than a standard lightbulb. She formed a hypothes

is and planned out an experiment. She selected one standard lightbulb and one fluorescent lightbulb, making sure that both bulbs gave the same amount of light. Next, she put each lightbulb in a cardboard box (used to represent a room), taped the boxes shut, and measured the temperature change in each box after 30 minutes. She also measured the temperature change with no lightbulb. She repeated each step again to make sure her findings were the same the second time and recorded her measurements in the table below. After looking at the results, she was amazed at what a huge difference there was between the types of bulbs.
which would be the control group? I know the box with the fluorescent light is the experimental group.

<span>The box with no lightbulb is the control group. The others are treatments. The purpose of a control group is used to increase the validity of the experiment by testing the independent variable to check that it does not influence the results. </span>

Urea is an organic compound widely used as a fertilizer. Its solubility in water allows it to be made into aqueous fertilizer so
skad [1K]

Answer:

3 hydrogen bonds.

Explanation:

This is because the urea molecule has an oxygen atom bound with double bonds to the central carbon atom, and this oxygen can form a hydrogen bond with water, as well as both terminal amine groups that can also form a hydrogen bond each because of the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen group.

How does a paper bag wrapped around a hot water bottle create convection?

How does a paper bag wrapped around a hot water bottle create convection?

Heat is a form of energy. You need energy to heat something up: for example, a cup of tea. To make your tea you probably use energy from electricity or gas. However, once your tea is hot, it won't stay hot forever. Just leave the cup of tea out on the table for a while, and you already know that it will become cooler the longer you wait. This is due to a phenomenon called heat transfer, which is the flow of energy in the form of heat. If two objects have different temperatures, heat automatically flows from one object to the other once they are in contact. The heat energy is transferred from the hotter to the colder object. In the case of the tea, the heat of the liquid is transferred to its surrounding air, which is usually colder than the tea. Once both objects reach the same temperature, the heat transfer will stop. Heat transfer via movement of fluids (liquids or gases) is called convection.

Introduction
What do you do when it gets very cold in winter? You probably turn your heater on, put on an extra layer of clothes or cuddle under a warm blanket. But have you ever thought about why a jacket helps you stay warm? Why are our clothes made from fabrics and not foils? Find out the answers in this activity; your results might even help you find the best way to stay warm in the cold!
Background
Heat is a form of energy. You need energy to heat something up: for example, a cup of tea. To make your tea you probably use energy from electricity or gas. However, once your tea is hot, it won't stay hot forever. Just leave the cup of tea out on the table for a while, and you already know that it will become cooler the longer you wait. This is due to a phenomenon called heat transfer, which is the flow of energy in the form of heat. If two objects have different temperatures, heat automatically flows from one object to the other once they are in contact. The heat energy is transferred from the hotter to the colder object. In the case of the tea, the heat of the liquid is transferred to its surrounding air, which is usually colder than the tea. Once both objects reach the same temperature, the heat transfer will stop. Heat transfer via movement of fluids (liquids or gases) is called convection.


Another type of heat transfer is conduction, in which energy moves through a substance (usually a solid) from one particle to another (unlike in convection where it’s the heated matter itself that moves). A pot handle getting hot would be an example of conduction.

Mercury (Hg) is present in trace amounts in coal, ranging from 50.0 to 200.0 ppb. A typical power plant burns 1.49 million tons
faust18 [17]

Answer and Explanation:

To calculate this, simply use an equality of proportions:

50 particles  :  1 billion particles = <em>x</em> tons  :  1.49 million tons

The value of <em>x</em> can be solved for by multiplying the ratio on the left by the value 1.49 million / 1 billion:

So, <em>x</em> = (50)(0.00149) tons = 0.0745 tons

Then, do the same thing for the larger concentration:

<em>x</em> = (200)(0.00149) tons = 0.298 tons

These four steps are important when setting a goal, but they are in the wrong order.what is the correct order of steps from star
ankoles [38]
The first step is to establish a goal and write it down. This adds commitment and you are declaring your intentions.
The second step is write down your daily plan of action. A plan without action is as useless if you had never written the goal at all. 
The third step is to share your goal with someone who will hold you accountable. They can share your victories , failures, and provide encouragement.
The final step is to act on that plan. You must take action now that you have all the tools.

What is the relative atomic mass of a hypothetical element that consists of the following isotopes in the indicated natural abun
Flauer [41]

Answer:

82.1

Explanation:

Isotopes of the same element are atoms of the same element (so, having same number of protons) having a different number of neutrons (and so, a different atomic mass).

In this problem, this element has 3 different isotopes, with atomic mass (in atomic mass units, a.m.u.) and relative abundance listed below:

1) 78.9 12.6%

2) 80.9 13.9%

3) 82.9 73.5%

In order to calculate the relative atomic mass unit of this element, we have to calculate the weighed average of the relative atomic mass of each isotope.

This means that we can calculate it as the sum of each atomic mass unit multiplied by the relative frequency:

\sum A_i f_i

where A_i is the atomic mass of each isotope and f_i the relative frequency. Therefore, we find:

A=(78.9)(\frac{12.6}{100})+(80.9)(\frac{13.9}{100})+(82.9)(\frac{73.5}{100})=82.1
