Why might a scientist repeat an experiment if she did not make a mistake in the first one?

1 answer:

3 0

The reason that a scientist might repeat her experiment, even if she did not make a (visible) mistake in the first one is to double check. Double checking can help you find out if the answer is constant and reliable, allowing you're information to be more trustworthy.

Working principles of lithium/solid electrolytes batteries

saw5 [17]

Answer:

The electrolyte carries positively charged lithium ions from the anode to the cathode and vice versa through the separator. The movement of the lithium ions creates free electrons in the anode which creates a charge at the positive current collectors

Convert the composition of the following alloy from atom percent to weight percent (a) 44.9 at% of silver, (b) 46.3 at% of gold,

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

Mass percentage of gold : 33.35%

Mass percentage of silver: 62.80%

Mass percentage of copper : 3.85%

Explanation:

$N=n\times N_A$

Where : N = Number of atoms

n = moles

$N_A=6.022\times 10^{23}$ = Avogadro number

Let the total atoms present in the alloy be 100.

Atom percentage of silver = 44.9%

Atoms of of silver = 44.9% of 100 atoms = 44.9

Atomic weight of silver = 107.87 g/mol

Mass of 44.9 silver atoms = 107.87 g/mol × 44.9 = 4,843.363 g/mol

Atom percentage of gold= 46.3%

Atoms of of gold = 46.3% of 100 atoms = 46.3

Atomic weight of gold = 196.97 g/mol

Mass of 44.9 gold atoms = 196.97 g/mol × 46.3 = 9,119.711 g/mol

Atom percentage of copper = 8.8 %

Atoms of of copper = 8.8% of 100 atoms = 8.8

Atomic weight of copper = 63.55 g/mol

Mass of 44.9 copper atoms = 63.55 g/mol × 8.8 = 559.24 g/mol

Total mass of an alloy :4,843.363 g/mol + 9,119.711 g/mol + 559.24 g/mol

Mass percentage of gold :

$\frac{4,843.363 g/mol}{4,843.363 g/mol + 9,119.711 g/mol + 559.24 g/mol}\times 100=33.35 \%$

Mass percentage of silver:

$\frac{9,119.711 g/mol}{4,843.363 g/mol + 9,119.711 g/mol + 559.24 g/mol}\times 100=62.80\%$

Mass percentage of copper :

$\frac{559.24 g/mol}{4,843.363 g/mol + 9,119.711 g/mol + 559.24 g/mol}\times 100=3.85\%$

The cells that allow your bones to move contain bundles of long cylinders. These cells have alternating light and dark bands cal

poizon [28]

Answer:

<h2>Actin and myosin.</h2>

Explanation:

The cells that allow your bones to move, the movement of thick (myosin) and thin (actin) filaments during contraction .

During a contraction thick and thin filaments do not shorten but increase their overlap of each other.

Thin filaments slide past thick filaments extending more deeply into the A band.

The I bands and H bands decrease in lenght as Z discs are come closer together .

Sarcomere represents area between two Z disc, so the sarcomere gets smaller during a contraction .
