The answer is: B. It ensures that the quality of scientific research is maintained.

Peer review is used to maintain quality standards, point to sources of error and improve performance.

Work on project is evaluated by people with similar competences (qualified members of a profession within the relevant field) as the scientist who are performing the work.

It is common in the field of health care.

Consensus is achieved through communication at conferences, the publication process, replication and peer review.

Answer:

The system will try to balance the change by shifting toward the exothermic reaction, and the rate of the forward reaction will increase.

Explanation:

To balance the external cooling system has to give out heat so exothermic reaction will occur .

What is the pH of .0003 M of NaOH

s344n2d4d5 [400]

We are given that the concentration of NaOH is 0.0003 M and are asked to calculate the pH

We know that NaOH dissociates by the following reaction:

NaOH → Na⁺ + OH⁻

Which means that one mole of NaOH produces one mole of OH⁻ ion, which is what we care about since the pH is affected only by the concentration of H⁺ and OH⁻ ions

Now that we know that one mole of NaOH produces one mole of OH⁻, 0.0003M NaOH will produce 0.0003M OH⁻

Concentration of OH⁻ (also written as [OH⁻]) = 3 * 10⁻⁴

<u>pOH of the solution:</u>

pOH = -log[OH⁻] = -log(3 * 10⁻⁴)

pOH = -0.477 + 4

pOH = 3.523

<u>pH of the solution:</u>

We know that the sum of pH and pOH of a solution is 14

pH + pOH = 14

pH + 3.523 = 14 [subtracting 3.523 from both sides]

pH = 10.477

What type(s) of bonding would be expected for each of the following materials: brass (a copper-zinc alloy), rubber, barium sulfi

mr_godi [17]

The force of attraction that results in holding of atoms or ions together in a molecule or crystal is said be bonding. Bond formation can take place by either attraction or transfer of electrons. There are single, double, and triple bonds. There are many types of bonding namely:

Covalent (sharing of electrons takes place).

Ionic (transfer of electrons takes place).

Metallic (ionized atoms of metals and the sea of electrons around them).

Brass (a copper-zinc alloy)

Brass is an alloy of metal that is copper and zinc. Hence, the metallic bonding is present in the brass.

Rubber

It is a polymer whose monomer unit is isoprene, which is a covalent compound. The isoprene units are attached in repeated units to form rubber by covalent bonding.

Barium sulfide ( $BaS$ )

Due to the large electronegativity difference between barium and sulfur, barium sulfide is an ionic compound. Thus, ionic bonding is present in barium sulfide.

Solid xenon

Only xenon atoms are present in solid xenon which are interacted by weak Van der Waal's interactions.

Bronze

Bronze is an alloy of metal that is copper and tin. Hence, the metallic bonding is present in the brass.

Nylon

It is a polymer whose monomer unit is caprolactam, which is a covalent compound. The caprolactam units are attached in repeated units to form nylon by covalent bonding.

Aluminum phosphide ( $AlP$ )

Aluminum phosphide is a covalent compound and thus involves covalent bonding.

How many moles of CO2 are emitted into the atmosphere when 22.1 g C8H18 is burned

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

1.552 moles

Explanation:

First, we'll begin by writing a balanced equation for the reaction showing how C8H18 is burn in air to produce CO2.

This is illustrated below:

2C8H18 + 25O2 -> 16CO2 + 18H2O

Next, let us calculate the number of mole of C8H18 present in 22.1g of C8H18. This is illustrated below:

Molar Mass of C8H18 = (12x8) + (18x1) = 96 + 18 = 114g/mol

Mass of C8H18 = 22.1g

Mole of C8H18 =..?

Number of mole = Mass /Molar Mass

Mole of C8H18 = 22.1/144

Mole of C8H18 = 0.194 mole

From the balanced equation above,

2 moles of C8H18 produced 16 moles of CO2.

Therefore, 0.194 mole of C8H18 will produce = (0.194x16)/2 = 1.552 moles of CO2.

Therefore, 1.552 moles of CO2 are emitted into the atmosphere when 22.1 g C8H18 is burned
