Once you have constructed an effective hypothesis, the next step in the scientific inquiry process is to
test the hypothesis through experimentation. This is a great opportunity for students to start a science
notebook, if they have not yet started recording their progress.
Steps to Identifying and Conducting an Appropriate Experiment to Test a Hypothesis
1) Present Hypotheses
Make a list of all potential hypotheses to be tested.
2) Make Predictions
For each hypothesis, ask what would be true if the hypothesis were true.
3) Write the Experimental Procedure
The experimental procedure is a step-by-step recipe for the science experiment. A good
procedure contains enough detail that someone else could easily duplicate the
experiment. Once you have formed a hypothesis, you will need to develop your
experimental procedure to test whether your hypothesis is true or false.
4) Identify the Independent and Dependent Variables
The first step of designing the experimental procedure involves planning how to change
the independent variable and how to measure the impact that this change has on the
dependent variable. To guarantee a fair test when conducting the experiment, make sure
that the only thing changing is the independent variable. All controlled variables must
remain constant.
5) Design the Experiments
How can you identify an appropriate experiment that will effectively test your
hypothesis? Begin by asking yourselves, “What can I do that will give me one result if my
hypothesis is true, and a different result if my hypothesis is false?” Design at least one
possible experiment for each hypothesis. Be sure that each experiment tests only one
hypothesis.
Answer:
3). Chemical potential energy
1). lower in charcoal than in coal.
Explanation:
Chemical potential energy is defined as the energy that can be absorbed or stored in a substance's chemical bonds. It can be released when there is a change in the number of particles of the substance.
As per the question, coal releases more heat than charcoal because 'the chemical potential energy of charcoal is lower than the coal' <u><em>and hence, the latter would release more heat on burning i.e. the energy that was absorbed in the chemical bonds of the substance</em></u>. Hence, option 3 and 1 are the correct answers.
Answer:D
Explanation:
Number of electrons=Number of protons
Sodium atom has 1 valence electron
Answer:
a) 
b) 
c) 
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, in each reaction we must subtract the Gibbs free energy of formation the reactants to the Gibbs free energy of formation of the products considering each species stoichiometric coefficients. In such a way, the Gibbs free energy of formations are:

So we proceed as follows:
a)

b)

c)

Answer:- 27.7 grams of
are produced.
Solution:- The balanced equation is:

let's convert the grams of each reactant to moles and calculate the grams of the product and see which one gives least amount of the product. This least amount would be the answer as the least amount we get is from the limiting reactant.
Molar mass of
= 207.2+2(126.90) = 461 gram per mol
let's do the calculations for the grams of the product for the given grams of each of the reactant:

= 

= 
From above calculations, NaI gives least amount of
, so the answer is, 27.7 g of
are produced.
