Why is a quantitative observation more useful than a non- quantitative one? Which of the following are quantitative?

Chemistry

daser333 [38]3 years ago

A quantitative observation is not necessarily more useful than a non-quantitative one. However, quantitative observations do allow one to find trends.

(a), the sun rising is a non-quantitative observation.

(b), knowledge of the numerical relationship between the weight on the Moon and on Earth, is a quantitative observation.

(c), watching ice float on water does not involve a measurement; therefore, it must be a qualitative observation.

(d) the fact that we know that the water pump won’t work for depths more than 34 feet makes it quantitative. Again, seeing numbers is a giveaway that it’s a quantitative <span>observation. Quantitative is where you deal with numbers.</span>

HELP! <br><br>How many moles of a solute would 3 liters of a 2-molar solution contain? ​
katrin [286]

Answer: If it was 3 mol of solute in 2 L of solution it would be 1.5 mol/L.

However when the solute dissolves in the water creating the solution, the volume increases. So 3 mol of solute in 2 L of water creates more than 2 L of solution.

The correct method for making a 3 mol/L solution would be to place some water into a two liter volume container. Dissolve all 3 mol of the solute into the water. Then add water to the 2 L mark. Now there is 3 mol of solute and 2 L of solution.

Explanation: I hope this helps XDDDD

What is generally true about the compressibility of solids?
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Compressibility means the ability to reduce or compress in size.

In solids, molecules are held together by strong force of attraction. Therefore, it requires very high force or energy to break the bond between the molecules of a solid.

As a result, compressibility of solids is low.

Whereas a hot ionized gas which contains same number of both positive or negatively charged electrons is known as plasma. Being a gas, molecules of plasma are not held by strong force of attractions.

Hence, plasma is compressible as compared to solids.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, the statement compressibility of solids is lower than the compressibility of plasmas and gases is true.

A thermometer having first-order dynamics with a time constant of 1 min is placed in a temperature bath at 100oF. After the ther
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

(a) See below

(b) 103.935 °F; 102.235 °F

Explanation:

The equation relating the temperature to time is

T = T_{0} + \Delta T\left (1 - e^{-t/\tau} \right )

1. Calculate the thermometer readings after  0.5 min and 1 min

(a) After 0.5 min

\begin{array}{rcl}T & = & T_{0} + \Delta T\left (1 - e^{-t/\tau} \right )\\ & = & 100 + 10\left (1 - e^{-0.5/1} \right )\\ & = & 100 + 10\left (1 - e^{-0.5} \right )\\ & = & 100 + 10 (1 - 0.6065)\\ & = & 100 + 10(0.3935)\\ & = & 100 + 3.935\\ & = & 103.935\,^{\circ}F\\\end{array}

(b) After 1 min

\begin{array}{rcl}T & = & T_{0} + \Delta T\left (1 - e^{-t/\tau} \right )\\ & = & 100 + 10\left (1 - e^{-1/1} \right )\\ & = & 100 + 10\left (1 - e^{-1} \right )\\ & = & 100 + 10 (1 - 0.3679)\\ & = & 100 + 10(0.6321)\\ & = & 100 + 6.321\\ & = & 106.321\,^{\circ}F\\\end{array}

2. Calculate the thermometer reading after 2.0 min

T₀ =106.321 °F

ΔT = 100 - 106.321 °F = -6.321 °F

  t = t - 1, because the cooling starts 1 min late

\begin{array}{rcl}T & = & T_{0} + \Delta T\left (1 - e^{-(t - 1)/\tau} \right )\\ & = & 106.321 - 6.321\left (1 - e^{-(2 - 1)/1} \right )\\ & = & 106.321 - 6.321\left (1 - e^{-1} \right )\\ & = & 106.321 - 6.321 (1 - 0.3679)\\ & = & 106.321 - 6.321 (0.6321)\\ & = & 106.321 - 3.996\\ & = & 102.325\,^{\circ}F\\\end{array}

3. Plot the temperature readings as a function of time.

The graphs are shown below.

Which statement accurately describes the charge of the nucleus of an atom? (2 points) The nucleus can be either positively charg
Andrew [12]
Atoms are fundamental constituents of all matter. The following statement is correct. The nucleus always has a positive charge. This is because the nucleus contains sub-atomic particles called protons. Each proton carries a single positive charge. The nucleus is also home to sub-atomic particles called neutrons that do not possess a charge.
