1. Always give your graph a title in the following form: "The dependence of (your dependent variable) on (your independent variable). <span><span>Let's say that you're doing a graph where you're studying the effect of temperature on the speed of a reaction. In this reaction, you're changing the temperature to known values, so the temperature is your independent variable. Because you don't know the speed of the reaction and speed depends on the temperature, the speed of the reaction is your dependent variable. As a result, the title of your graph will be "The dependence of reaction rate on temperature", or something like that.</span> 

 </span>2. The x-axis of a graph is always your independent variable and the y-axis is the dependent variable.<span>For the graph described above, temperature would be on the x-axis (the one on the bottom of the graph), and the reaction rate would be on the y-axis (the one on the side of the graph) 

 </span>3. Always label the x and y axes and give units.<span>Putting numbers on the x and y-axes is something that everybody always remembers to do (after all, how could you graph without showing the numbers?). However, people frequently forget to put a label on the axis that describes what those numbers are, and even more frequently forget to say what those units are. For example, if you're going to do a chart which uses temperature as the independent variable, you should write the word "temperature (degrees Celsius)" on that axis so people know what those numbers stand for. Otherwise, people won't know that you're talking about temperature, and even if they do, they might think you're talking about degrees Fahrenheit. 
 
</span>4. Always make a line graph<span><span>Never, ever make a bar graph when doing science stuff. Bar graphs are good for subjects where you're trying to break down a topic (such as gross national product) into it's parts. When you're doing graphs in science, line graphs are way more handy, because they tell you how one thing changes under the influence of some other variable. </span> 
 
</span><span>5. Never, EVER, connect the dots on your graph!Hey, if you're working with your little sister on one of those placemats at Denny's, you can connect the dots. When you're working in science, you never, ever connect the dots on a graph.Why? When you do an experiment, you always screw something up. Yeah, you. It's probably not a big mistake, and is frequently not something you have a lot of control over. However, when you do an experiment, many little things go wrong, and these little things add up. As a result, experimental data never makes a nice straight line. Instead, it makes a bunch of dots which kind of wiggle around a graph. This is normal, and will not affect your grade unless your teacher is a Nobel prize winner. However, you can't just pretend that your data is perfect, because it's not. Whenever you have the dots moving around a lot, we say that the data is noisy, because the thing you're looking for has a little bit of interference caused by normal experimental error.</span><span>To show that you're a clever young scientist, your best bet is to show that you KNOW your data is sometimes lousy. You do this by making a line (or curve) which seems to follow the data as well as possible, without actually connecting the dots. Doing this shows the trend that the data suggests, without depending too much on the noise. As long as your line (or curve) does a pretty good job of following the data, you should be A-OK. 

 </span>6. Make sure your data is graphed as large as possible in the space you've been given.<span><span>Let's face it, you don't like looking at little tiny graphs. Your teacher doesn't either. If you make large graphs, you'll find it's easier to see what you're doing, and your teacher will be lots happier.</span> 
 </span><span>So, those are the steps you need to follow if you're going to make a good graph in your chemistry class. I've included a couple of examples of good and bad graphs below so you know what these things are supposed to look like.</span>

15.0 mL of an unknown clear liquid is added to a 50 mL graduated cylinder. The mass of the liquid is determined to be 12.7 grams
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

\boxed {\tt A. \ d=0.85 \ g/mL}

Explanation:

Density is found by dividing the mass by the volume.

d=\frac{m}{v}

The mass of the liquid is 12.7 grams.

We know that 15 mL of this liquid was added to a 50 mL graduated cylinder. Therefore, the volume is 15 mL. The 50 mL is not relevant, it only tells us about the graduated cylinder.

m= 12.7 \ g\\v= 15 \ mL

Substitute the values into the formula.

d=\frac{12.7 \ g}{ 15 mL}

Divide.

d=0.846666667 \ g/mL

Round to the nearest hundredth. The 6 in the tenth place tells us to round the 4 to a 5.

d \approx 0.85 \ g/mL

The density of the liquid is about 0.85 grams per milliliter and choice A is correct.

MgNH4PO4•6H2O loses H2O in a stepwise fashion as it is heated. Between 40 degrees celsius and 60 degrees celsius, the monohydrat
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

\%\ Composition\ of\ phosphorus=20.00\ \%

Explanation:

The molecular formula of the monohydrate formed = MgNH_4PO_4.H_2O

The molecular mass of the monohydrate formed = Mass_{Mg}+Mass_{N}+6\times Mass_{H}+5\times Mass_O

So, Mass = 24 + 14 + 6 × 1 + 5 × 16 = 155 g

Mass of phosphorus = 31 g

Thus,

\%\ Composition\ of\ phosphorus =\frac{Mass_{phosphorus}}{Total\ mass}\times 100

\%\ Composition\ of\ phosphorus=\frac{31}{155}\times 100

\%\ Composition\ of\ phosphorus=20.00\ \%

Why do sea and ocean levels recede (more coast land is exposed) when the planet goes through a major ice age?
fomenos
This happens because ice is made up of water, and when that water freezes, it never goes back to land, thus there being less water on the coastline. But when the ice starts to melt, the water will even out quickly, and the water will go to the coastline, causing the tide to rise. Mark brainliest, please.
