Answer:

To give further credence, or otherwise to the findings from the other companies.
To ensure findings from the other companies are not limited to a specific variant of the population
To check if there are other variables that were not considered by the other companies.

Explanation:

First of all, a part of the question is missing. Below is the complete question

Read the passage about the health risks of single-load liquid laundry packets.

These packets are filled with concentrated, toxic chemicals. A 7-month-old in Florida died from swallowing the soap. Several soap and detergent companies are conducting studies to address these safety concerns; they want to reduce toxicity and to make the packets look less like candy. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is also performing studies to build more safety into these products.

Why would the CPSC perform studies when other soap and detergent companies have already conducted research on the same products?

What CPSC is called replication. Replication is an important attribute of a good research. It has to do with the reproducibility of outcomes from the same research carried out by different researchers using different subjects. The CPSC's need to perform studies on the same product might be out of the following:

To give further credence, or otherwise to the findings from the other companies.
To ensure findings from the other companies are not limited to a specific variant of the population
To check if there are other variables that were not considered by the other companies.

Studies performed by the CPSC give reliability to the results of improved safety obtained by each soap company.

Phosphorous trichloride and phosphorous pentachloride equilibrate in the presence of molecular chlorine according to the reactio

umka21 [38]

Answer : The value of $K_p$ at this temperature is 66.7

Explanation : Given,

Pressure of $PCl_3$ at equilibrium = 0.348 atm

Pressure of $Cl_2$ at equilibrium = 0.441 atm

Pressure of $PCl_5$ at equilibrium = 10.24 atm

The balanced equilibrium reaction is,

$PCl_3(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons PCl_5(g)$

The expression of equilibrium constant $K_p$ for the reaction will be:

$K_p=\frac{(p_{PCl_5})}{(p_{PCl_3})(p_{Cl_2})}$

Now put all the values in this expression, we get :

$K_p=\frac{(10.24)}{(0.348)(0.441)}$

$K_p=66.7$

Therefore, the value of $K_p$ at this temperature is 66.7

The density of ethanol, a colorless liquid that is commonly known as grain alcohol, is 0.798 g/ml. calculate the mass of 16.9 ml

sesenic [268]

Hey there!:

Density = 0.798 g/mL

Volume = 16.9 mL

Therefore:

Mass = density * volume

Mass = 0.798 * 16.9

Mass = 13.4862 g

Which is an acceptable Lewis structure for a diatomic nitrogen molecule?

Marina86 [1]

Answer:
Acceptable Lewis structure of Diatomic Nitrogen Molecule is as follow,

:N≡N:

Explanation:
The given lewis structure is acceptable because each nitrogen atom has a complete octet and and the formal charge of each nitrogen atom is zero. So those lewis structures which has zero or least formal charges are said to be more stable and acceptable. The formal charge is calculated is,

Formal Charge = # of Valence e⁻s - [# of non-bonded e⁻ + 1/2 # of bonded e⁻]

For N,

Formal Charge = 5 - [ 2 + 6/2]

Formal Charge = 5 - [ 2 + 3 ]

Formal Charge = 5 - 5

Formal Charge = 0

Same result will come for the second N atom.
