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 cup of coffee has 71 mL of coffee and 127 mL of water. What is the percent volume of the coffee solution?

Anna [14]

Answer:

35.9%

Explanation:

The percent volume of the coffee solution can be calculated as follows:

% volume of coffee solution = volume of coffee/total volume of coffee solution × 100

According to this question, a cup of coffee has 71 mL of coffee and 127 mL of water. This means that, the total volume of coffee solution is;

71mL + 127mL = 198mL

% volume = 71/198 × 100

= 0.359 × 100

Percent volume of coffee solution = 35.9%

I NEED HELP PLEASE, THANKS! :)

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{2.20 g Pb}}$

Explanation:

They gave us the masses of two reactants and asked us to determine the mass of the product.

This looks like a limiting reactant problem.

1. Assemble the information

We will need a chemical equation with masses and molar masses, so, let's gather all the information in one place.

Mᵣ: 239.27 32.00 207.2

2PbS + 3O₂ ⟶ 2Pb + 2SO₃

m/g: 2.54 1.88

2. Calculate the moles of each reactant

$\text{Moles of PbS} = \text{2.54 g PbS } \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol PbS}}{\text{239.27 g PbS}} = \text{0.010 62 mol PbS}\\\\\text{Moles of O}_{2} = \text{1.88 g O}_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol O}_{2}}{\text{32.00 g O}_{2}} = \text{0.058 75 mol O}_{2}$

3. Calculate the moles of Pb from each reactant

$\textbf{From PbS:}\\\text{Moles of Pb} = \text{0.010 62 mol PbS} \times \dfrac{\text{2 mol Pb}}{\text{2 mol PbS}} = \text{0.010 62 mol Pb}\\\\\textbf{From O}_{2}:\\\text{Moles of Pb} =\text{0.058 75 mol O}_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{2 mol Pb}}{\text{3 mol O}_{2}}= \text{0.039 17 mol Pb}\\\\\text{PbS is the $\textbf{limiting reactant}$ because it gives fewer moles of Pb}$

4. Calculate the mass of Pb

$\text{ Mass of Pb} = \text{0.010 62 mol Pb} \times \dfrac{\text{207.2 g Pb}}{\text{1 mol Pb}} = \textbf{2.20 g Pb}\\\\\text{The reaction produces $\large \boxed{\textbf{2.20 g Pb}}$}$
