Answer:

The scientific method is the systematic procedure which helps us understand and explain the natural phenomenon.

The method involves the observation, asking questions and predicting and proposing a hypothesis based on the previous research. The hypothesis should be tested through experiments which provides the data to prove and disprove the hypothesis.

The scientific method is the best approach to reach to the conclusion of any scientific answer as the method involves the highly ordered and steps which makes the work systematic. Therefore, the scientific method is the best method to answer a question.

A container of oxygen has a volume of 30.0 mL and a pressure of 72.5 psi. If the pressure of the oxygen gas is reduced to 28 psi

OLga [1]

Answer:

THE NEW VOLUME OF THE OXYGEN GAS AT 28 PSI FROM 72.5 PSI IS 0.078 L.

Explanation:

Initial volume of the oxygen in the container = 30.0 mL = 30 / 000 L = 0.03 L

Initial pressure of the oxygen = 72.5 psi = 1 psi = 6890 pascal

Final pressure = 28 psi

Final volume = unknown

First convert the mL to L and since both pressures are in similar unit that is psi; there is no need converting them to pascal or other standard unit of pressure. They cancel each other out.

This question follows Boyle's equation of gas laws and mathematically it is written as:

P1 V1 = P2 V2

Re-arranging by making P2 the subject of the formula, we have:

V2 = P1 V1 / P2

V2 = 72,5 * 0.03 / 28

V2 = 2.175 /28

V2 = 0.0776 L

The new volume of the oxygen gas at a change in pressure from 72.5 psi to 28 psi is 0.078 L.

In a coffee cup calorimeter, 1.60 g of NH4NO3 is mixed with 75.0 g of water at an initial temperature of 25.00 degrees C. After

igomit [66]

Answer:

+26.6kJ/mol

Explanation:

The enthalpy of dissolution of NH₄NO₃ is:

NH₄NO₃(aq) + ΔH → NH₄⁺ + NO₃⁻

Where ΔH is the heat of reaction that is absorbed per mole of NH₄NO₃,

The moles that reacts in 1.60g are (Molar mass NH₄NO₃:80g/mol):

1.60g * * (1mol / 80g) = 0.02 moles reacts

To find the heat released in the coffee cup calorimeter, we must use the equation:

Q = m×ΔT×C

Where Q is heat released,

m is mass of the solution

ΔT is change in temperature (Final temperature - Initial temperature)

C is specific heat of the solution (4.18J/g°C)

Mass of the solution is:

1.60g + 75g = 76.60g

Change in temperature is:

25.00°C - 23.34°C = 1.66°C

Replacing:

Q = m×ΔT×C

Q = 76.60g×1.66°C×4.18J/g°C

Q = 531.5J

This is the heat released per 0.02mol. The heat released per mole (Enthalpy change for the dissolution of NH₄NO₃) is:

531.5J / 0.02mol = 26576J/ mol =

+26.6kJ/mol

<em>+ because the heat is absorbed, the reaction is endothermic-</em>

Andreas93 [3]

Alkene on Hydration yield Alcohols. When Asymmetric Alkenes are treated with water in the presence of acid they follow Markovnikoff rule, and the Hydrogen of incoming reagent goes to that carbon which contain more number of Hydrogen atoms. The reverse (Anti-Markovnikoff) is done by carrying out Hydroboration reaction.In this case the Hydrogen atom of incoming reagent goes to that carbon which contains less number of Hydrogen atoms. In this reaction both -H and -OH adds in syn fashion. The Hydroboration reaction of Chloestrol is shown below,
