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

Chemistry

lilavasa [31]2 years ago

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.

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

Soil is heterogeneous mixture of sand particles of different sizes, shape and of different compositions.

Explanation:

Homogeneous mixtures are defined as the mixtures in which components are evenly spread throughout the solution. The size and shape of the particles are similar in these mixtures.

For example : alloys, salt solution.

Heterogeneous mixtures are defined as the mixtures in which component are unevenly spread throughout the solution. The size and shape of the particles differ in these mixtures.

For example : sand in a water, soil etc.

Brass is an alloy homogeneous mixture of metals.

Air is a homogeneous mixture of gases.

Coffee with sugar stirred in is also homogeneous mixture.

Soil is a heterogeneous mixture of sand particles of different sizes, shape and of different compositions.

Lelu [443]

Answer:

chemical

Explanation:

A chemical change is irreversible and leads to the formation of new products.

Rusting occurs as a result of an irreversible chemical reaction between iron, oxygen and moisture. Rusting is the oxidation of iron when exposed to oxygen and moisture.

The rusting of iron is an electrochemical process in which water serves as the electrolyte and iron serves as the anode. The rusting of iron leads to the formation of hydrated iron III oxide (rust) usually seen an brown flakes that surround a rusted iron material.
