Explanation:

(Ques- A) Why does the first method for determining volume work only for a regular-shaped object?

(Ans- A) Because the method requires precise dimensions of objects for result, which is not possible for irregular shaped objects.

(Ques - B) Will the second method for determining volume work for any object or just an odd-shaped one? Why?

(Ans-B) It will work for both regular and irregular shaped objects since both displace equal volumes of water.

(Ques - C) Is one method of measurement more accurate than the other? Why or why not?

(Ans-C) Both are pretty accurate, with some experimental errors which may creep in accidentally.

(Ques- D) Would the displacement method of measurement work for a cube of sugar? What about a cork? Why?

(Ans - D) No, the method would not work because sugar being soluble, will dissolve in water.

No, the method would not work because sugar being soluble, will dissolve in water. Cork is less dense than water so floats on it, with only part of it submerged in water, resulting in displacement of less volume of water than actual volume of Cork.

(Ques-E) What did you find out from this investigation? Be thoughtful in your answer.

(Ans- E) I learnt about determining volume of different objects from this investigation. (Sorry, I know its not a very thoughtful answer)

Which tool was used to collect the solid product of the chemical reaction? the balance the funnel with the filter paper the Erle

Serggg [28]

Answer:

the funnel with the filter paper

Explanation:

When the mixture of solution is poured through the funnel with filter paper, the liquid solution can pass through the filter paper and gets collected in the beaker (filtrate) while the solid products are too large to pass through the filter paper, so they remain on the funnel (residue).

With this tool, the solid product could be separated from the mixture.

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

According to the Environmental Paper Network's Paper Calculator, it takes about 32 million BTUs of energy to produce 1 ton of virgin paper fiber. To produce 1 ton of recycled paper, it takes about 22 million BTUs.

so the answer could be it takes less Btu to manufacture recycled products than new ones

PolarNik [594]

They have similar or common ancestor. The similarities inherited from the common ancestor as in the case of homologous organs. In evolutionary biology a group of organisms share a common descent if they have a common ancestor. There are many other examples like in the case of hemoglobin to prove the theory of common ancestor

What is the difference between elements, mixtures, and compounds?

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

If it is pure, the substance is either an element or a compound. If a substance can be separated into its elements, it is a compound. If a substance is not chemically pure, it is either a heterogeneous mixture or a homogeneous mixture. If its composition is uniform throughout, it is a homogeneous mixture.
