Answer:

heat and large amount of surface area

Explanation:

the heat and surface area allows the iron in the wool to combine with oxygen. by doing this it increases the mass of the steel wool

A 251 ml sample of 0.45M HCl is added to 455 mL of distilled water. What is the molarity of the

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

We are given:

251 mL sample of 0.45M HCl added to 455 mL distilled water

Whack a mole! (finding the number of moles):

We know that in order to find molarity, we use the formula:

Molarity = number of moles / Volume (in L)

so, number of moles is:

Number of moles = Molarity * Volume(in L)

now let's plug the values for the HCl solution to find the number of moles

Number of moles = 0.45M * 0.251 L

Number of moles = 0.113 moles

Time to concentrate (finding the final concentration):

Total final volume = 251 mL + 455 mL = 706 mL = 0.706 L

Number of moles of HCl = 0.113 moles

Molarity = Number of moles / Volume (in L)

Molarity = 0.113 / 0.706

Molarity = 0.16 M

BONUS METHOD TIME!!!

We know the relation:

M1 * V1 = M2 * V2

where M1 and M2 are the initial and final molarities and V1 and V2 are initial and final volumes respectively

notice that I didn't mention that the volume has to be in Liters, that's because of the units being concerned with both sides of the equation, say I have the volume in mL and want to convert both these volumes to L, I would divide both sides by 1000, which would NOT change the overall value

Now, plugging values in this equation

(0.45) * (251) = (251 + 455)* (M2)

112.95 = (706)(M2)

M2 = 112.97/706 [dividing both sides by 706]

M2 = 0.16 Molar

Differentiate the claims made by science from those based on bias.

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

Scientists seek to eliminate all forms of bias from their research. However, all scientists also make assumptions of a non-empirical nature about topics such as causality, determinism and reductionism when conducting research. Here, we argue that since these 'philosophical biases' cannot be avoided, they need to be debated critically by scientists and philosophers of science.

Explanation:

Scientists are keen to avoid bias of any kind because they threaten scientific ideals such as objectivity, transparency and rationality. The scientific community has made substantial efforts to detect, explicate and critically examine different types of biases (Sackett, 1979; Ioannidis, 2005; Ioannidis, 2018; Macleod et al., 2015). One example of this is the catalogue of all the biases that affect medical evidence compiled by the Centre for Evidence Based Medicine at Oxford University (catalogueofbias.org). Such awareness is commonly seen as a crucial step towards making science objective, transparent and free from bias.
