Microwave Miracle: Patrick believes that if fish eat microwaved food then they be able to swim through a maze faster. He decides

to perform an experiment by placing fish food in a microwave for 20 seconds. He has the fish swim through a maze and records the time it takes for each one to make it to the end. He feeds the microwaved food to 10 fish (group A) and gives regular food to 10 others (group B). After 1 week, he has the fish swim through the maze again and records the times for each. Which fish are in the control group? * Group A Group B Microwaved Food Non-microwaved Food

Answer:

Group B

Explanation:

<u>The fish in group B are those in the control group.</u>

<em>A control group during an experiment represents a group of the subject that is subjected to all experimental variables except the independent variable - the manipulate-able variable that is supplied by the experimenter which directly affects the dependent variable. </em>

In this case, the independent variable is the type of food given to the two groups of fishes - microwaved or regular food while the dependent variable is the time it takes for the fishes to swim through the maze. Since the focus of the experiment is to see if microwaved food enhances the swimming speed of fishes, the group of fish that receives microwaved food would represent the treatment group while those that received regular food would be the control group.

Hence, group B represents the control group.

Does a metal conduct electricity in the solid state?
ad-work [718]
Metal atoms have outer electrons which are not tied to any one atom. These electrons can move freely within the structure of a metal when an electric current is applied. There are no such free electrons in covalent or ionic solids, so electrons can't flow through them - they are non-conductors.

In a shorter term - no

The reaction nacl(s) → nacl(aq) is performed in a coffee cup calorimeter, using 100 ml of h2o(l) and 5.00g of nacl. if the tempe
MrRissso [65]

Since the density of water is 1 g /mL, hence there is 100 g of H2O. So total mass is:

m = 100 g + 5 g = 105 g

 

=> The heat of reaction can be calculated using the formula:

δhrxn = m C ΔT

where m is mass, C is heap capacity and ΔT is change in temperature = negative since there is a decrease

 

δhrxn = 105 g * 4.18 J/g°C * (-2.30°C)

δhrxn = -1,009.47 J

 

=> However this is still in units of J, so calculate the number of moles of NaCl.

 

moles NaCl = 5 g / (58.44 g / mol)

moles NaCl = 0.0856 mol

 

=> So the heat of reaction per mole is:

δhrxn = -1,009.47 J / 0.0856 mol

δhrxn = -11,798.69 J/mol = -11.8 kJ/mol

PLZ HELP!!! ILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!! You read an article written by an amateur ghost hunter. It includes the following paragraph.
djverab [1.8K]

No, it is not a scientific claim. If a ghost hunter catches a voice on video like ghost hunters do you can either believe it or not. Ghosts are more of a  i believe it you dont have to type of thing becasue they have not been scientifically proven to exist.

What is the molarity of a solution containing 12.0 g of NaOH in 250.0 mL of solution?
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

1.196 M NaOH

Explanation:

Molarity = moles/Volume (L)

moles NaOH = mass NaOH/MM NaOH = 12/40.01 = 0.299 moles NaOH

Volume solution = 250 mL = 0.250L

M = 0.299/0.250=1.196 M NaOH

A chemist dissolves 484 .mg of pure perchloric acid in enough water to make up 240.mL of solution. Calculate the pH of the solut
sdas [7]

Answer:

1.70

Explanation:

The molar mass of perchloric acid is 100.46 g/mol. The moles corresponding to 484 mg (0.484 g) are:

0.484 g × (1 mol/100.46 g) = 4.82 × 10⁻³ mol

4.82 × 10⁻³ moles are dissolved in 240 mL (0.240 L) of solution. The molar concentration of perchloric acid is:

4.82 × 10⁻³ mol/0.240 L = 0.0201 M

Perchloric acid is a strong monoprotic acid, that is, it dissociates completely, so [H⁺] = 0.0201 M.

The pH is:

pH = -log [H⁺] = -log 0.0201 = 1.70
