Explain how creativity can play a role in the construction of scientific questions and hypotheses.

1 answer:

4 0

Scientific questions and hypotheses come up frequently while one is engaged in investigating a scientific phenomenon such as natural geological phenomena as may occur in geological mapping in the field. For example, there may be a question does this canyon or deeply incised valley which is quite straight follow a weakness in the earth's crust like a major fault or the direction of bedding in well bedded sedimentary rocks. In a particular topographic area, some hypotheses which may be developed is that valleys follow geological structure whereas ridges follow resistant rocks like quartzites or quartz sandstones or in the ocean, points or capes may represent resistant quartz sandstones and bays may represent weak soft shales recessively weathering

Consider the following reaction where Kc = 1.80×10-2 at 698 K:

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

The system is not in equilibrium and the reaction must run in the forward direction to reach equilibrium.

Explanation:

The reaction quotient Qc is a measure of the relative amount of products and reagents present in a reaction at any given time, which is calculated in a reaction that may not yet have reached equilibrium.

For the reversible reaction aA + bB⇔ cC + dD, where a, b, c and d are the stoichiometric coefficients of the balanced equation, Qc is calculated by:

$Qc=\frac{[C]^{c}*[D]^{d} } {[A]^{a}*[B]^{b}}$

In this case:

$Qc=\frac{[H_{2} ]*[I_{2} ] } {[HI]^{2}}$

Since molarity is the concentration of a solution expressed in the number of moles dissolved per liter of solution, you have:

$[H_{2} ]=\frac{2.09*10^{-2} moles}{1 Liter}$ =2.09*10⁻² $\frac{moles}{liter}$

$[I_{2} ]=\frac{4.14*10^{-2} moles}{1 Liter}$ =4.14*10⁻² $\frac{moles}{liter}$

$[I_{2} ]=\frac{0.280 moles}{1 Liter}$ = 0.280 $\frac{moles}{liter}$

So,

$Qc=\frac{2.09*10^{-2} *4.14*10^{-2} } {0.280^{2} }$

Qc= 0.011

Comparing Qc with Kc allows to find out the status and evolution of the system:

If the reaction quotient is equal to the equilibrium constant, Qc = Kc, the system has reached chemical equilibrium.

If the reaction quotient is greater than the equilibrium constant, Qc> Kc, the system is not in equilibrium. In this case the direct reaction predominates and there will be more product present than what is obtained at equilibrium. Therefore, this product is used to promote the reverse reaction and reach equilibrium. The system will then evolve to the left to increase the reagent concentration.

If the reaction quotient is less than the equilibrium constant, Qc <Kc, the system is not in equilibrium. The concentration of the reagents is higher than it would be at equilibrium, so the direct reaction predominates. Thus, the system will evolve to the right to increase the concentration of products.

Being Qc=0.011 and Kc=1.80⁻²=0.018, then Qc<Kc. <u><em>The system is not in equilibrium and the reaction must run in the forward direction to reach equilibrium.</em></u>

HELP WITH THIS ASAP PLEASE!!! What is the mass in grams of 8.42 x 10^22 atoms of sulfur?

V125BC [204]

Answer:

Answer:

see explanation and punch in the numbers yourself ( will be better for your test)

Explanation:

If you are given atoms you need to divide by Avogadro's number 6.022x10^23

then you will have moles of sulfur-- once you have moles multiply by the molar mass of sulfur to go from moles to grams

mm of sulfur is 32 g/mol

What causes attraction and repulsion between atoms?

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

Repulsive forces exist only when atoms are very close to each other. (3/14) "They [the atoms] will approach until both nuclei will simply shove each other because both of them are positive." The balance between the attraction and repulsion forces determines how close the atoms can get. The relationships between the magnitude and direction of repulsive and attractive forces. A stable state of a bond is when attractive forces balance repulsion forces. “A stable state between two atoms is when they attract each other with a force that equals the force that they repel each other.”
