A scientist was asked to test the effect of a new vitamin for rats. His hypothesis was that young rats that had vitamins added t
o their food would gain weight faster than young rats fed a normal diet. He predicted that if young rats were fed vitamins, then they would gain more weight by the end of the experiment. He tested the effect of adding vitamins to some of the rats' diet by measuring the amount of weight each rat gained after three months. He then determined the average weight gained in each group. To analyze his results, he put the data he collected into the table shown below.
Which of the following could have added bias to the data?
A.Keeping the rats in the same room, but in separate cages during the experiment B.Not using all male or all female rats, since they are different sizes when grown C.Recording the data in a table instead of on a graph D.Not having the experimental results peer reviewed

Explanation:
Answer:
a. 113 min
Explanation:
Considering the equilibrium:-
2N₂O₅ ⇔ 4NO₂ + O₂
At t = 0 125 kPa
At t = teq 125 - 2x 4x x
Thus, total pressure = 125 - 2x + 4x + x = 125 - 3x
125 - 3x = 176 kPa
x = 17 kPa
Remaining pressure of N₂O₅ = 125 - 2*17 kPa = 91 kPa
Using integrated rate law for first order kinetics as:
Where,
is the concentration at time t
is the initial concentration
Given that:
The rate constant, k = min⁻¹
Initial concentration = 125 kPa
Final concentration = 91 kPa
Time = ?
Applying in the above equation, we get that:-
Answer : The balanced chemical equation in a acidic solution is,
The sum of the coefficients is, 17
Explanation :
Redox reaction or Oxidation-reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the oxidation and reduction reaction takes place simultaneously.
Oxidation reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element increases. Or we can say that in oxidation, the loss of electrons takes place.
Reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element decreases. Or we can say that in reduction, the gain of electrons takes place.
Rules for the balanced chemical equation in acidic solution are :
First we have to write into the two half-reactions.
Now balance the main atoms in the reaction.
Now balance the hydrogen and oxygen atoms on both the sides of the reaction.
If the oxygen atoms are not balanced on both the sides then adding water molecules at that side where the less number of oxygen are present.
If the hydrogen atoms are not balanced on both the sides then adding hydrogen ion at that side where the less number of hydrogen are present.
Now balance the charge.
The given chemical reaction is,
The oxidation-reduction half reaction will be :
Oxidation :
Reduction :
- First balance the main element in the reaction.
Oxidation :
Reduction :
- Now balance oxygen atom on both side.
Oxidation :
Reduction :
- Now balance hydrogen atom on both side.
Oxidation :
Reduction :
- Now balance the charge.
Oxidation :
Reduction :
The charges are not balanced. Now multiplying oxidation reaction by 3 and then adding both equation, we get the balanced redox reaction.
Oxidation :
Reduction :
The balanced chemical equation in acidic medium will be,
The sum of the coefficients = 1 + 6 + 3 + 1 + 3 + 3
The sum of the coefficients = 17
Answer : The value of is, 0.34 V
Explanation :
Here, copper will undergo reduction reaction will get reduced. Zinc will undergo oxidation reaction and will get oxidized.
The oxidation-reduction half cell reaction will be,
Oxidation half reaction:
Reduction half reaction:
Oxidation reaction occurs at anode and reduction reaction occurs at cathode. That means, gold shows reduction and occurs at cathode and chromium shows oxidation and occurs at anode.
The overall balanced equation of the cell is,
To calculate the of the reaction, we use the equation:
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the value of is, 0.34 V
