Answer: Moles of CH3OH = 9.8 moles

The given equation for combustion of methanol is,

2 CH3OH (l) + 3 O2(g) → 2CO2 (g) + 4 H2O(l)

The moles of water can be calculated from the above balanced equation i.e 2 mol of CH3OH on combustion forms 4 moles of H2O.

Thus the number of mole of H2O = 9.8 mol CH3OH = 20 mol H2O

Thus the number of moles of water has found to be 20 mol H2O.

The p-value of a statistical test depends on all of the following, except:

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

The correct option is e.

Explanation:

p-value is the probability value for a given statistical model, the probability that, when the null hypothesis is true.

For two two samples the formula of test statistics is

$t=\frac{(\overline{x}_1-\overline{x}_2)-(\mu_1-\mu_2)}{\sqrt{\frac{s_1^2}{n_1}+\frac{s_2^2}{n_2}}}$

where,

$\overline{x}$ is sample mean

$\mu$ is population mean.

$s$ is standard deviation.

n is sample size.

Variance is the square of standard deviation.

It means variance, mean, numbers of samples is used in calculation of p-value.

Degree of freedom define the shape of the t-distribution that your t-test uses to calculate the p-value.

$d.f.=n_1+n_2-2$

p-value of a statistical test depends on all of the following, except median.

Therefore the correct option is e.

Which of these statements is NOT TRUE? Scientists propose explanations that can be explained by examining evidence. Scientists p

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

The correct option is;

Scientist propose explanations that can be explained by examining evidence

Explanation:

A scientists makes an hypotheses based on possible natural processes to explain the origin and/or the nature of the characteristics of a natural observation. The scientist then source more data and information to put their hypotheses to test. Due to the fact that an hypotheses is based on observable processes and/or mechanisms, the given hypotheses can be further tested by other scientists through the use of their individually sourced data. From the result of the assessment, the hypotheses can be either accepted or rejected to enable the better clarification of the hypotheses when accepted or the development of a new hypotheses when rejected.

Explain why warm nitric acid is used

Schach [20]

Answer:

Lead is added to warm dilute nitric acid. When the carbonate has reacted with the warm acid, more carbonate is added until the carbonate is in excess.

If 12.5 grams of strontium hydroxide is reacted with 150 mL of 3.5 M carbonic acid, identify the limiting reactant.

kiruha [24]

Answer:

Sr(OH)₂ will be the limiting reagent.

Explanation:

First of all, you should know the following balanced chemical equation:

2 H₂CO₃ + 2 Sr(OH)₂ → 4 H₂O + Sr₂(CO₃)₂

The balanced equation is based on the Law of Conservation of Mass, which says that matter cannot be created or destroyed. Therefore, the number of each type of atom on each side of a chemical equation must be the same.

The limiting reagent is one that is consumed first in its entirety, determining the amount of product in the reaction. When the limiting reagent is finished, the chemical reaction will stop.

To determine the limiting reagent, it is possible to use the reaction stoichiometry of the reaction (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction). By stoichiometry the following amounts in moles react:

strontium hydroxide: 2 moles
carbonic acid: 2 moles

Now, you know the following masses of the elements:

Sr: 87.62 g/mole
O: 16 g/mole
H: 1 g/mole

So the molar mass of strontium hydroxide is:

Sr(OH)₂= 87.62 g/mole + 2*(16 g/mole + 1 g/mole)= 121.62 g/mole

You apply the following rule of three, if 121.62 grams of hydroxide are present in 1 mole, 12.5 grams in how many moles are they?

$moles of strontium hydroxide=\frac{12.5 grams*1 mole}{121.62 grams}$

moles of hydroxide= 0.103 moles

On the other hand, you have 150 ml of 3.5 M carbonic acid. Since molarity is the concentration of a solution expressed in the number of moles dissolved per liter of solution, you can apply the following rule of three: if in 1 L there are 3.5 moles of carbonic acid, in 0.150 L (being 1 L = 1000 mL, 0.150 L = 150 mL) how many moles of acid are there?

$molesofcarbonicacid=\frac{0.150 L*3.5 moles}{1 L}$

moles of carbonic acid= 0.525 moles

Finally, to calculate the limiting reagent, you can use a simple rule of three as follows: if by stoichiometry 2 mole of strontium hydroxide reacts with , how much moles of carbonic acid will be needed if 0.103 moles of strontium hydroxide react?

$molesofcarbonicacid=\frac{0.103 moles of strontium hydroxide*2 moles of carbonic acid}{2 moles of strontium hydroxide}$

moles of carbonic acid= 0.103 moles

But 0.525 moles are available. Since more moles are available than you need to react with 0.103 moles of strontium hydroxide, <u><em>Sr(OH)₂ will be the limiting reagent.</em></u>
