How does a scientist form a hypothesis?

Chemistry
1 answer:
MrMuchimi3 years ago
8 0

Explanation: <em>The hypothesis is a prediction, but it involves more than a guess. Most of the time, the hypothesis begins with a question which is then explored through background research. It is only at this point that researchers begin to develop a testable hypothesis.</em>

(Unless you are creating an exploratory study, your hypothesis should always explain what you expect to happen)

Place the following solutions in order of increasing osmotic pressure. I. 0.15 M C2H6O2. II. 0.15 M MgCl2, III. 0.15 M NaCl, A.
lozanna [386]

Answer:

D. I < III < II

Explanation:

  • The osmotic pressure (π) is given by the relation:

<em>π = iMRT.</em>

where, π is the osmotic pressure.

i is van 't Hoff factor.

M is the molarity of the solution.

R is the general gas constant.

T is the temperature.

<em>M, R and T are constant for all solutions.</em>

So, the osmotic pressure depends on the van 't Hoff factor.

  • The van 't Hoff factor is the ratio between the actual concentration of particles produced when the substance is dissolved and the concentration of a substance as calculated from its mass.
  • For most non-electrolytes dissolved in water, the van 't Hoff factor is essentially 1.
  • For most ionic compounds dissolved in water, the van 't Hoff factor is equal to the number of discrete ions in a formula unit of the substance.

For C₂H₆O₂ (non-electrolyte solute): i = 1.

For MgCl₂: i = 3.

It dissociates to give (Mg²⁺ + 2Cl⁻).

For NaCl: i = 2.

It dissociates to give (Na⁺ + Cl⁻).

So, the solute that has the highest osmotic pressure is  II. 0.15 M MgCl₂, then III. 0.15 M NaCl, then I. 0.15 M C₂H₆O₂.

  • So, the answer is:

<em>D. I < III < II.</em>

What is the density of a piece of wood that has a mass of 25.0 grams and a volume of 5.0 cm 3 ?
Georgia [21]

Answer:

5.0g/cm^3

Explanation:

Since we have the mass of the wood (25.0g) and the volume of the wood (5.0cm^3), can use the formula for density to answer this question.

Density=mass/density

Density=25.0g/5.0cm^3

Density=5.0g/cm^3

Therefore, the density of the piece of wood is 5.0g/cm^3.

I hope this helps!

How does a physical change obey the law of conservation of mass?
iren2701 [21]
Let's consider water.
Regardless of what form it turns into, the mass should remain the same.
It's the same H20.
Add some heat and it becomes water vapor,
cool it down a bit and it becomes ice.
if you make it just right, it becomes water again.

A chemical change would involve the one or more element(s) changing into a different solution all together.
It cannot be reversed unless you use electrolysis or some other method.
