Answer:

This is an example of scientific investigation being led by inductive reasoning.

Explanation:

Inductive reasoning is the type of reasoning used to make broad generalizations from specific observations. We have certain pieces of data and make conclusions based on them. In the given example, astronomers have made a specific observation - that the orbit of Uranus isn't uniform. Based on that fact, they made a broader conclusion - that there is another planet. There are probably more things that could lead to the same conclusion.

The opposite is deductive reasoning, where a person starts off with a broad generalization and tries to make specific, logical conclusions based on it.

Why do we use conversion factors instead of just multiplying or dividing as needed? What’s the advantage?
Scrat [10]
If you’re referring to stoichiometry, which usually involves the long t-tables of multiple conversions, then you’re not alone in wondering the purpose of using them. The purpose of conversion tables is to help keep track of what you’re doing. When quickly converting one value to another, it’s very easy to forget a particular piece to the puzzle, or to use a factor that doesn’t work for that instance. Teachers usually draw out a t-table every time they work a problem so as not to confuse students, but anytime you’re working with funky units or converting across systems (metric to imperial and vice versa) it’s a good idea to use them.

A compound contains only carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen. Combustion of 0.157g of the compound produced 0.213g of CO2 and
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

C_{7} H_{5}N_{3}O_{6}

Explanation:

First reaction gives you the number of moles or the mass from Carbon and hydrogen

for carbon:

0,213gCO_{2} .\frac{1molCO_{2}}{44gCO_{2}} .\frac{1molC}{1molCO_{2}} =0.005molC

0.213gCO_{2} .\frac{1molCO_{2}}{44gCO_{2}} .\frac{1molC}{1molCO_{2}} .\frac{12gC}{1molC} = 0.058gC\\

Analogously for hydrogen:

0.0310gH_{2}O have 0.0034gH or 0.0034mol of H

In the second reaction you can obtain the amount of nitrogen as a percentage and find the mass of N in the first sample.

0.023gNH_{3} .\frac{1molNH_{3}}{17gNH_{3}} .\frac{1molN}{1molNH_{3}} .\frac{14gN}{1molN} \frac{100}{0.103gsample} =18.4%N

now

\frac{18.4gN}{100gsample} .0.157gsample=0.0289gN in the first reaction

this is equivalet to 0.002mol of N

with this information you can find the mass of oxygen by matter conservation.

gO=total mass-(gN+gC+gH)=0.157-(0.0289+0.058+0.0034)=0.0666gO

this is equivalent to 0.004molO

finally you divide all moles obtained between the smaller number of mole (this is mol of H)

C\frac{0.0048}{0.0034} H\frac{0.0034}{0.0034} N\frac{0.002}{0.0034} O\frac{0.004}{0.0034} =C_{1.4} HN_{0.6} O_{1.2}

and you can multiply by  5   to obtain: C_{7} H_{5}N_{3}O_{6}
