How does a scientist form a hypothesis?

1 answer:

8 0

Explanation: 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.

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

Assume a gasoline is isooctane, which has a density of 0.692 g/ml. What is the mass of 3.8 gal of the gasoline (1 gal = 3.78 l)?

sveticcg [70]

Density is the ratio of mass to the volume.

The mathematical expression is given as:

$density=\frac{mass}{volume}$

Now, density of isooctane = $0.692 g/mL$

Volume = $3.8 gal$

Since, 1 gallon = 3.78 L

So, 3.8 gal = $3.78 L\times 3.8$

= $14.364 L$

As, 1 L = 1000 mL

Therefore, $14.364 L$ = $14.364 L\times 1000 mL$

Volume in mL = $14364 mL$

Put the values,

$0.692 g/mL=\frac{mass}{14364 mL}$

$m = 0.692 g/mL\times 14364 mL$

= $9939.888 g$

Hence, mass of 3.8 gal of the gasoline is $9939.888 g$ .

29.47 mL of a solution of the acid HBr is titrated, and 72.90 mL of 0.2500-M NaOH is required to reach the equivalence point. Ca

Klio2033 [76]

The original concentration of the acid solution is 6.175 $\times$ 10^-4 mol / L.

Explanation:

Concentration is the ratio of solute in a solution to either solvent or total solution. It is expressed in terms of mass per unit volume

HBr + NaOH -----> NaBr + H2O

There is a 1:1 equivalence with acid and base.

Moles of NaOH = 72.90 $\times$ 10^-3 $\times$ 0.25

= 0.0182 mol.

[ HBr ] = moles of base / volume of a solution

= 0.0182 / 29.47

= 6.175 $\times$ 10^-4 mol / L.

A metal cylinder has a mass of 128g. When the cylinder is submerged into water, it displaces 424ml of water. Calculate the speci

Colt1911 [192]

First, we will need to find the density of the object, take the mass and divide it by the dispplaced water:
128/424 = 0.302 grams/milliliters
Convert that to kg/m3
We get: 302kg/m3
Divide that to the density of water: 1000kg/m3
302/1000 = 0.302
(thats a pretty darn light weighted metal)
