What is research? Depending on who you ask, you will likely get very different answers to this seemingly innocuous question. Some people will say that they routinely research different online websites to find the best place to buy goods or services they want. Television news channels supposedly conduct research in the form of viewer polls on topics of public interest such as forthcoming elections or government-funded projects. Undergraduate students research the Internet to find the information they need to complete assigned projects or term papers. Graduate students working on research projects for a professor may see research as collecting or analyzing data related to their project. Businesses and consultants research different potential solutions to remedy organizational problems such as a supply chain bottleneck or to identify customer purchase patterns. However, none of the above can be considered “scientific research” unless: (1) it contributes to a body of science, and (2) it follows the scientific method. This chapter will examine what these terms mean
Zirconium cannot be broken down by a chemical change, because it is an element. The others are all molecules.
Answer:
was difficult to place isotopes of elements as they have the same chemical properties but different atomic masses. It was not possible to predict how many elements could be discovered between two heavy elements as the rise in atomic mass is not uniform.
Answer:
Molar mass of solute: 300g/mol
Explanation:
<em>Vapor pressure of pure benzene: 0.930 atm</em>
<em>Assuming you dissolve 10.0 g of the non-volatile solute in 78.11g of benzene and vapour pressure of solution was found to be 0.900atm</em>
<em />
It is possible to answer this question based on Raoult's law that states vapor pressure of an ideal solution is equal to mole fraction of the solvent multiplied to pressure of pure solvent:
Moles in 78.11g of benzene are:
78.11g benzene × (1mol / 78.11g) = <em>1 mol benzene</em>
Now, mole fraction replacing in Raoult's law is:
0.900atm / 0.930atm = <em>0.9677 = moles solvent / total moles</em>.
As mole of solvent is 1:
0.9677× total moles = 1 mole benzene.
Total moles:
1.033 total moles. Moles of solute are:
1.033 moles - 1.000 moles = <em>0.0333 moles</em>.
As molar mass is the mass of a substance in 1 mole. Molar mass of the solute is:
10.0g / 0.033moles = <em>300g/mol</em>
