Sewage and industrial pollutants dumped into a body of water can reduce the dissolved oxygen concentration and adversely affect

aquatic species. In one study, weekly readings are taken from the same location in a river over a two-month period. The week 3 measurement in the data set is suspected of being an outlier.
True or False: According to the Q test, the value at week 3 can be rejected at the 95% confidence level.
Week Dissolved O2 (ppm)
1 4.9
2 5.1
3 5.6
4 4.3
5 4.7
6 4.9
7 4.5
8 5.1

Answer:

FALSE

Since 0.385 < 0.526, the value for week 3 is accepted.

Explanation:

Qexp = (|Xq - Xₙ₋₁|)/w

where Xq is the suspected outlier; Xₙ₋₁ is the next nearest data point; w is the range of data

First, the data are arranged in decreasing order, from highest to lowest:

3. 5.6

2. 5.1

8. 5.1

1. 4.9

6. 4.9

5. 4.7

7. 4.5

4. 4.3

Xq = 5.6; Xₙ₋₁ = 5.1; w = 5.6 - 4.3 = 1.3

Qexp = (|5.6 - 5.1|)/1.3 = 0.385

From tables, at 95% confidence level, for n = 8, Qcrit = 0.526

Since 0.385 < 0.526, the value for week 3 is accepted.

A student claims that if she wanted to make a solution quickly, she should use small pellets instead of powder along with heatin
vova2212 [387]

Answer: Yes we agree with the student's claim.

Explanation:

When the molecules are present in smaller size, more reactants can react as decreasing the size increases the surface area of the reactants which will enhance the contact of molecules.Hence, more products will form leading to increased rate of reaction.

On increasing the temperature will make more reactant molecules will have sufficient energies to cross the energy barrier and thus the number of effective collisions increases, thus leading to more products and increased rate of reaction.

When the solution is stirred , the molecule's kinetic energy and thus the rate of reaction increases.

Thus smaller size, stirring and increase of temperature will make the solution quickly.

Why is carbon dioxide used in fire extinguisher?
rjkz [21]
As Fire needs oxygen to burn, Carbon Dioxide Covers the fire like an blanket and cuts the contact of fire to the oxygen present in the air, So Fire stops burning.That is why Carbon Dioxide is Considere as the best Fire Extinguisher.
