A change which would remove the source of this error is to: Test a fourth group, in which participants do not receive the mineral supplements.

<h3>What is a scientific method?</h3>

A scientific method can be defined as the various techniques that are adopted to observe, investigate, examine and study a particular thing while giving explanations on the basis of the evidence, theory, proof, hypothesis, or factual information they derived from the research work.

In this scenario, a claim was made by the company its mineral supplements can effectively prevent common cold. However, this claim was disputed by a scientist because there exist an error in the group setup.

<h3>How to remove an error in science</h3>

For this investigation, an effective and efficient way to remove this source of error would be by testing a fourth group, in which the mineral supplements is not administered to any of the participants.

Select the classification for the following reaction. 2Na(s) + 2H2O(l) → 2NaOH(aq) + H2(g) a. precipitation b. acid-base c. redo

Answer:

The answer to your question: I think is letter c

Explanation:

2Na(s) + 2H2O(l) → 2NaOH(aq) + H2(g)

a.- Precipitation: is incorrect because for this kind of reactions one of the products must be a precipitate and in the reaction we see that NAOH is soluble in water (aq) and H2 is a gas, none of them precipitate.

b. acid - base: the reactants must be an acid and a base, and the reactants of this reaction has a base but it's in the products.

c. Redox: This reaction is a redox reaction because for this reaction the oxidation numbers of the reactants must change and this happen in this reaction (H changes from +1 to 0) and Na changes from 0 to +1.

d. Combination. In this reaction the reactants combine to form a new compound and this doesn't happen here.

e. None of the above. is false because letter C is correct.

A compound with a molar mass of 60g/mol is 40.4% carbon, 6.7% hydrogen and 53.3% oxygen (by mass). determine the emperical and m

Fittoniya [83]

<span>A compound is found to be 40.0% carbon, 6.7% hydrogen and 53.5% oxygen. Its molecular mass is 60. g/mol.
</span>Q1)
Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of whole numbers of components making up a compound.
the percentages have been given, therefore we can calculate for 100 g of the compound.

C H O
Mass in 100 g 40.0 g 6.7 g 53.5 g
Molar mass 12 g/mol 1 g/mol 16 g/mol
Number of moles 40.0/12= 3.33 6.7/1 = 6.7 53.5/16 = 3.34
Divide by the least number of moles
3.33/3.33 = 1 6.7/3.33 = 2.01 3.34/3.33 = 1.00
after rounding off
C - 1
H - 2
O - 1

Empirical formula - CH₂O

Q2)
Molecular formula is the actual number of components making up the compound.
To find the number of empirical units we have to find the mass of one empirical unit.
Mass of one empirical unit = CH₂O - 12 + (1x2) + 16 = 30 g
Mass of one mole of compound = 60 g
Number of empirical units = 60 g / 30 g = 2
Therefore molecular formula - 2(CH₂O)
Molecular formula - C₂H₄O₂

How were the elements in the first periodic table arranged?

Snezhnost [94]

Based on atomic mass

Explanation:

Elements were arranged on the first periodic table based on their atomic masses.

The mass of an atom is made up of the mass of the nucleus which contains the protons and neutrons.

Dimitri Mendeleev was the first person credited for arranging elements periodically.
He was said to have been inspired while playing his game of solitaire on a train.
On his table, he left spaces for the atomic masses of elements not yet discovered.
Today, the periodic table is based on the atomic numbers of elements. This is the number of protons in an atom.
