Answer:
Explanation:
Two moles of magnesium (Mg) and five moles of oxygen (O2) are placed in a reaction vessel. When magnesium is ignited, it reacts with oxygen. What is the limiting reactant in this experiment?
Mg + O2 → MgO (unbalanced)
first, balance the equation
2Mg +O2-------> 2MgO
two magnesium atoms react with one diatomic oxygen molecule
there is a 1:1 ratio of magnesium to oxygen atoms
but we have 2 moles of magnesium atoms and 2X5 = 10 moles of oxygen atoms
the lesser magnesium LIMITS the amount of product we can make, so it is the LIMITING REAGENT.
Yasir wanted to study the relationship between sleep and room color. So he has done all the background study required on the topic and arrived at a hypothesis that people fall asleep more rapidly in a room painted in blue color than in a room painted yellow. Yasir inquired several people which color they like better -yellow or blue- and used their feedback to decide whether his hypothesis was correct. There was no experiment conducted to observe the effect of a room color on sleep and the variables to be tested in the experiment were not properly identified.
Therefore, the correct answer would be,
An experiment that directly tests the hypothesis
Variables to be tested by an experiment
Label each statement with its corresponding type of scientific knowledge.
law
theory
fact
hypothesis
The melting point of ice is 0°C: thus is a fact based on repetitive experiments
Repeated observations have consistently
shown that oppositely charged objects
attract each other: this is law
When the elements carbon and nitrogen
are mixed at 1500°C, they will react
with each other.
this is a hypothesis
Atoms are made of protons, neutrons,
and electrons. Although we can’t directly
see these particles, this structure
explains many experimental observations
