Inductive reasoning uses specific observation to make generalization.  

Inductive reasoning is basically an approach to logical thinking. It entails making generalization based on specific details.

It is major critical thinking skills that many people, particularly employers sough after in their employees.  

<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

In inductive inferences, individual goes from specific observation to general. Scientists also use inductive reasoning to form theories and hypotheses.  

There are different types of inductive reasoning and these include:

  1. Generalized: This involves drawing conclusion from generalization. For example, bright is an excellent swimmer, his father has a swimming pool. Bright Brother, Kennedy must also be an excellent swimmer.
  2. Statistical: this involves drawing conclusion based on statistics.
  3. Analogous: it involves drawing conclusion based on properties shared by two groups.
  4. Sample: it involves drawing conclusion about a particular group based on a different group.
  5. Predictive: it involves drawing conclusion based on prediction by using past sample.  
  6. Causal inference: it involves drawing conclusion based on connections that is causal.  

However, there are advantages of inductive reasoning

It gives individual the opportunity to work with ranges of probabilities and the assumptions that individual makes from a specific set of data are unlimited. However, inductive reasoning presents individual with a starting points and then drawn an informed conclusion.

Inductive reasoning can also help individual to come up with multiple solutions and use research to measure or evaluate other hypotheses. It provides individual the opportunity to use knowledge acquired from past experiences to form judgment and make new informed decisions in new situation.

The answer is inductive reasoning.

Using specific observations to make generalizations means inductive reasoning.

Inductive reasoning is opposite to deductive reasoning, it makes generalization from specific observations. Generalization is done from specific set of observations. After generalization, conclusions are drawn from the data. Inductive reasoning has its place in scientific method.

A 5.00 L sample of helium expands to 12.0 L at which point the
mina [271]

Answer:

1.73 atm

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume of helium = 5.00 L

Final volume of helium = 12.0 L

Final pressure = 0.720 atm

Initial pressure = ?

Solution:

"The volume of given amount of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure by keeping the temperature and number of moles constant"

Mathematical expression:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

P₁ = Initial pressure

V₁ = initial volume

P₂ = final pressure

V₂ = final volume  

Now we will put the values in formula,

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

P₁ × 5.00 L = 0.720 atm × 12.0 L

P₁ = 8.64 atm. L/5 L

P₁ = 1.73 atm

♔♔Can water stay liquid below zero degrees Celsius?✞♡♡♡​
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

Yes, water can stay liquid below zero degrees Celsius. There are a few ways in which this can happen. The freezing point of water drops below zero degrees Celsius as you apply pressure. When we apply pressure to a liquid, we force the molecules to get closer together.

Explanation:

Hope this helps you. Have a nice day.^_^

Please mark as brainliest. It helps a lot:)

Balance the following redox reaction in acidic solution. Zn(s)+MnO−4(aq)→ Zn+2(aq)+Mn+2(aq)
devlian [24]

Answer:

2MnO₄⁻ + 5Zn + 16H⁺ → 2Mn²⁺ + 8H₂O + 5Zn²⁺

Explanation:

To balance a redox reaction in an acidic medium, we simply follow some rules:

  1. Split the reaction into an oxidation and reduction half.
  2. By inspecting, balance the half equations with respect to the charges and atoms.
  3. In acidic medium, one atom of H₂O is used to balance up each oxygen atom and one H⁺ balances up each hydrogen atom on the deficient side of the equation.
  4. Use electrons to balance the charges. Add the appropriate numbers of electrons the side with more charge and obtain a uniform charge on both sides.
  5. Multiply both equations with appropriate factors to balance the electrons in the two half equations.
  6. Add up the balanced half equations and cancel out any specie that occur on both sides.
  7. Check to see if the charge and atoms are balanced.

Solution

                            Zn + MnO₄⁻ → Zn²⁺ + Mn²⁺

The half equations:

                      Zn → Zn²⁺                          Oxidation half

                      MnO₄⁻ → Mn²⁺                  Reduction half

Balancing of atoms(in acidic medium)

                     Zn → Zn²⁺

                    MnO₄⁻ + 8H⁺ → Mn²⁺ + 4H₂O

Balancing of charge

                   Zn → Zn²⁺ + 2e⁻

                    MnO₄⁻ + 8H⁺ + 5e⁻→ Mn²⁺ + 4H₂O

Balancing of electrons

         Multiply the oxidation half by 5 and reduction half by 2:

                          5Zn → 5Zn²⁺ + 10e⁻

                        2MnO₄⁻ + 16H⁺ + 10e⁻→ 2Mn²⁺ + 8H₂O

Adding up the two equations gives:

              5Zn + 2MnO₄⁻ + 16H⁺ + 10e⁻ → 5Zn²⁺ + 10e⁻ + 2Mn²⁺ + 8H₂O

The net equation gives:

         5Zn + 2MnO₄⁻ + 16H⁺ → 5Zn²⁺ + 2Mn²⁺ + 8H₂O

The equilibrium constant, k, for a redox reaction at 25° c is 7.3 × 107. what is the value of e° if the overall reaction transfe
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

0.23 V.

Explanation:

<em>∵ ΔG° = -RT lnK.</em>

∴ ΔG° = -RTlnK = -(8.314 J/mol)(298 K) ln(7.3 × 10⁷) = - 44.86 x 10³ J/mol.

<em>∵ ΔG° = - nFE°</em>

∴ E° = - ΔG°/nF = - (- 44.86 x 10³ J/mol)/(2 x 96500 s.A/mol) = 0.2324 V ≅ 0.23 V.
