Why is it better to conduct an experiment more than once?

Chemistry

The first reason to repeat experiments is simply to verify results. Different science disciplines have different criteria for determining what good results are. Biological assays, for example must be done in at least triplicate to generate acceptable data. Science is built on the assumption that published experimental protocols are repeatable.


2)      The next reason to repeat experiments is to develop skills necessary to extend established methods and develop new experiments. “Practice make perfect” is true for the concert hall and the chemical laboratory.


3)      Refining experimental observations is another reason to repeat. Maybe you did not follow the progress of the reaction like you should have.


4)      Another reason to repeat experiments is to study and/or improve them in way. In the synthetic chemistry laboratory, for example, there is always a desire to improve the yield of a synthetic step. Will certain changes in the experimental conditions lead to a better yield? The only way to find out is to try it! The scientific method informs us that it is best to only make one change at a time.


5)  The final reason to repeat an extraction, chromatographic or synthetic protocol is to produce more of your target substance. This is sometimes referred to scale-up.

There are<br><br> molecules of carbon dioxide (CO2) in 102.5 grams.
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

1.403x10²⁴ molecules

Explanation:

In order to calculate how many molecules of CO₂ are there in 102.5 g of the compound, we first<u> convert grams to moles</u> using its <em>molar mass</em>:

  • 102.5 g ÷ 44 g/mol = 2.330 mol CO₂

Now we <u>convert moles into molecules </u>using <em>Avogadro's number</em>:

  • 2.330 mol * 6.023x10²³ molecules/mol = 1.403x10²⁴ molecules

An iron nail rusts when exposed to oxygen. According to the following reaction, how many moles of iron(III) oxide will be formed
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

0.453 moles

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is:

2Fe(s) + 3O2(g)  ==>  2Fe2O3

From the equation,  mass of O2 involved = 16 x 2 x 3 = 96g

                                 mass of Fe2O3 involved = [(2x26) + 3 x 16] x 2

                                                                            = 100g

                Therefore 96g of O2 produced 100g of Fe2O3

                                  32.2g of O2 Will produce   100x32.2/96

                                                   = 33.54g of Fe2O3

Converting it to mole using   number of mole = mass/molar mass

but molar mass of Fe2O3 = 26 + (16 X 3)

                                           = 74g/mole

Therefore number of mole of 33.54g of Fe2O3 = 33.54/74

                                                                           = 0.453 moles

2. Calculate the mass of K in 90g of KOH​
ValentinkaMS [17]

KOH = 90g

KOH = 57 g/mol

K = 40g/mol

57g/mol contains 90 g

40g/mol will contain?

= 63.15 g

The mass of K is 63.15g
