Why is there no set path that a scientific inquiry must follow

There is no set path that a scientific inquiry must follow. This is because every scientific inquiry will ask a different question, and will look for a different type of answer. Therefore, each inquiry will require a different method for finding out what we are looking for. Nevertheless, although the specific path we follow might vary, all scientific inquiries must adhere to the scientific method in order to be scientifically valid.

Due to the variables that each inquiry has, Scientific inquiry follows a path of questioning and testing a hypothesis, however this changes in response to specific details.

A student collects 350 mL of a vapor at a temperature of 67°C. The atmospheric pressure at the time of collection is 0.900 atm.

Fed [463]

Answer:

Explanation:

This problem is very similar to the other that you put before, so, we'll use the same principle here.

The ideal gas equation: PV = nRT

Where:

P: pressure in atm

V: volume in L

T: Temperature in K.

n: moles

R: Gas constant (In this case, we'll use 0.082 L atm/K)

to get the molar mass of the gas, we need to know the moles, and with the mass, we can know the molar mass. However we can put the ideal gas expression with the molar mass in this way:

we know that n is mole so:

n = g/MM

If we put this in the idea gases expression we have:

PV = gRT/MM

Solving for MM we have:

MM = gRT/PV

Now, let's convert the temperature and volume to K and L respectively:

T = 67 + 273 = 340 K

V = 350 / 1000 = 0.35 L

Now all we have to do is put all the data into the expression:

MM = 0.79 * 0.082 * 340 / 0.9 * 0.35

MM = 22.0252 / 0.315 = 69.92 g/mol rounded 70 g/mol

Now, the closest answer of your options would be 72 g/mol. This could be easily explained because we do not use all the significant figures of all numbers, including the gas constant of R. However, all the work, calculations and procedure is correct and fine, and we only have a minimum range of 2 units.

List the number of each type of atom on the left side of the equation 2C10H22(l)+31O2(g)→20CO2(g)+22H2O(g)

Leokris [45]

Answer:

20, 44, 62

Explanation:

To find the number of atoms of each element, we multiply coefficient and subscript

For example $5 Ca_1 Cl_2$ contains

5 × 1 = 5 ,Ca atoms and

5 × 2 = 10, Cl atoms

If there is a bracket in the chemical formula

For example $3Ca_3 (P_1 O_4 )_2$

we multiply coefficient × subscript × number outside the bracket to find the number of atoms

(Please note: 3 is the coefficient, and if there is no number given then 1 will be the coefficient )

3 × 3 = 9 , Ca atoms

3 × 1 × 2 = 6, P atoms

3 × 4 × 2 = 24, O atoms are present.

So let us find the number of atoms of each element on the left side of the equation

$2C_{10} H_{22} (l)+31O_2 (g)\Rightarrow 20CO_2 (g)+22H_2 O(g)$

Number of C atoms = 2 × 10 = 20

Number of H atoms = 2 × 22 = 44

Number of O atoms = 31 × 2 = 62

20, 44, 62 are the Answers.

What is the pH difference of two samples if the concentration of [H+] ions is 1000-fold less in the second sample?

snow_tiger [21]

The correct answer is a. This is because the pH of a solution is defined as -log10(concentration of H+ ions). An inverse logarithmic scale such as this means that a solution with a lower concentration of H+ ions will have a higher pH than one with a higher concentration. Therefore we know that the pH of the second sample will be higher than the first.

Since the logarithmic scale has the base 10, a change by 1 on the scale is a consequence of multiplication/division of the H+ concentration by a factor of 10. As the scale is inverse, this means that a decrease of concentration by factor 1000 is equivalent to increasing the pH by (1000/10) = 3.
