Directions are in the picture

Wht is the process of science cyclical and not a linear process??

Dima020 [189]

Answer:The process of science is iterative.

Science circles back on itself so that useful ideas are built upon and used to learn even more about the natural world. This often means that successive investigations of a topic lead back to the same question, but at deeper and deeper levels. Let's begin with the basic question of how biological inheritance works. In the mid-1800s, Gregor Mendel showed that inheritance is particulate — that information is passed along in discrete packets that cannot be diluted. In the early 1900s, Walter Sutton and Theodor Boveri (among others) helped show that those particles of inheritance, today known as genes, were located on chromosomes. Experiments by Frederick Griffith, Oswald Avery, and many others soon elaborated on this understanding by showing that it was the DNA in chromosomes which carries genetic information. And then in 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick, again aided by the work of many others, provided an even more detailed understanding of inheritance by outlining the molecular structure of DNA. Still later in the 1960s, Marshall Nirenberg, Heinrich Matthaei, and others built upon this work to unravel the molecular code that allows DNA to encode proteins. And it doesn't stop there. Biologists have continued to deepen and extend our understanding of genes, how they are controlled, how patterns of control themselves are inherited, and how they produce the physical traits that pass from generation to generation. The process of science is not predetermined.

Any point in the process leads to many possible next steps, and where that next step leads could be a surprise. For example, instead of leading to a conclusion about tectonic movement, testing an idea about plate tectonics could lead to an observation of an unexpected rock layer. And that rock layer could trigger an interest in marine extinctions, which could spark a question about the dinosaur extinction — which might take the investigator off in an entirely new direction. At first this process might seem overwhelming. Even within the scope of a single investigation, science may involve many different people engaged in all sorts of different activities in different orders and at different points in time — it is simply much more dynamic, flexible, unpredictable, and rich than many textbooks represent it as. But don't panic! The scientific process may be complex, but the details are less important than the big picture …

Consider a sample of a hydrocarbon (a compound consisting of only carbon and hydrogen) at 0.959 atm and 298 K. Upon combusting t

Masja [62]

Answer:

Molecular formula of hydrocarbon is: C₂H₆

Explanation:

The combusting of the hydrocarbon:

CxHy + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O

Using gas law to obtain molar mass of the gas mixture (CO₂ + H₂O):

P/RT = n/V

Where:

P is pressure (1,208 atm)

R is gas constant (0,082 atmL/molK)

T is temperature (375 K)

n/V = 0,0393 mol/L

1,1128 g/L ÷ 0,0393 mol/L = 28,32 g/mol

Thus, average molecular weight is:

28,32 g/mol = 44,01 g/mol X + 18,02 g/mol Y

1 = X + Y

Where X is CO₂ molar percentage and Y is H₂O molar percentage.

Solving:

X = 0,397

Y = 0,603

39,7% H₂O

60,3% CO₂

With this proportion you can obtain ratio CO₂:H₂O thus:

60,3/39,7 = 1,52 So, 2 CO₂: 3H₂O

The moles of the hydrocarbon are:

PV/RT = n

P (0,959 atm)

V ( 1/5 of final volume)

T (298K)

n = 7,85x10⁻³ mol

The moles of CO₂ are:

0,0393 mol × 2 mol CO₂/ 5 mol total =0,01572.

Ratio of CO₂:CxHY =

0,01572 : 7,85x10⁻³ 2 CO₂: 1 CxHY

Doing:

1 CxHy + O₂ → 2 CO₂ + 3 H₂O

By mass balance:

1 C₂H₆ + 7/2 O₂ → 2 CO₂ + 3 H₂O

Thus, molecular formula of hydrocarbon is: <em>C₂H₆ </em>

I hope it helps!

How was nitrogen discovered

Solnce55 [7]

In 1770 a Scottish physician and Chemist Daniel Rutherford performed a simple experiment with which he discovered nitrogen. Rutherford being with an empty bottle that he turned upside down in a pan of water so that the air was trapped. A buring candle was placed inside the bottle with the trapped air causing the water to rise a bit. The part of the air that seemed to "disappear" when the candle was bured was oxygen gas and the part of the air that did not "disappear" Ruthford discovered Nitrogen.
