Students in physical science conducted the following experiment to demonstrate a common reaction, corrosion or rusting, while ve

rifying the law of conservation of matter.
Students will:
• use the following scientific process skills: observing and recording data, making inferences from observation;
• recognize the signs of a chemical change;
• understand and apply the Law of Conservation of Matter;
• use diagrams to illustrate the Law of Conservation of Matter as it applies to a chemical change.

Procedure:
1. Cut off a piece of steel wool and dip in vinegar.
2. Wring out any excess vinegar.
3. Describe the appearance of the steel wool.
4. Place the steel wool into the flask and cover the opening of the flask with the balloon.
5. Find the mass of the system (flask, steel wool, balloon) and record the mass in the data table.
6. Allow the system to remain untouched for 24 hours then find the mass again. Record.

Consider the statement in the prompt: the students will understand and apply the Law of Conservation of Matter. How did the experimental design show that the students understood the concept of measuring conservation of matter during this experiment?

A) The students carefully and accurately recorded the before and after data of the experiment.
B) The students created an open system, allowing the steel wool to react with the oxygen from the outside environment.
C) The students created a closed system by using the balloon to contain the reactants and then the products in the flask.
Eliminate
D) The students measured the mass of both the reactants, including the flask and balloon, and the products using a beam balance.

Answer

The students created a closed system by using the balloon to contain the reactants and then the products in the flask.

Explanation

In physics experiments, we apply closed systems to conserve the mass within the boundaries of the system and allow energy to freely enter and leave the boundary of the system. A closed system concept is applied to eliminate errors of external factors that could change results of the experiment.

Which two organs of a plant interact to cause seedlings to grow upward
Pie

There's tropism and stimulus, for starters. Gravity, light, and touch can all be used as stimuli. So it is debatable... If the plant is reaching upwards towards a window that is above it... It would then be light, and the plant's response would be to reach upward.

Hope this helps and if it does, don't be afraid to give my answer a "Thanks" and maybe a Brainliest?

Explain the term "molecular clock" and describe the types of measurements and comparisons that can be made with this type of clo
arsen [322]

Answer:

In biology, a molecular clock can be described as a method to determine the time for the divergence of species which occurred by the process of evolution.

Explanation:

The mutation rates of different molecules are used in this method. The mutation rates for DNA sequences and amino acid sequences are usually considered. The molecular clock can be used to compare and estimate the splitting of a lineage. For example, by this method, one can interpret when the chimpanzees and humans diverged from each other.

Hope this helped!

HURRYY!!<br><br> Why have American's portion sizes become larger in the last decade?
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

American's portion sizes have become larger in the last decade due to the expanding of food industries and marketing campaigns that tell us to eat more.

Explanation:

The growth of food industries in the last decades to obtain more money in combination with the media influence has led us to eat more, thus why the size of our portions has increased their size.

Another theory states that people always want to eat more, and the industry has only fulfilled this demand, but it is not clear why, in the past, this did not happen.
