Answer:

Field experiments can often have the potential to give scientists opportunities that are not possible in a lab setting.

Explanation:

Having people "act natural" in a lab setting is impossible to truly achieve, as we all know what happens to our mental state and behavior when we are being actively observed. This is also especially helpful when conducting wildlife research, as there are a myriad of different things influencing animal and plant behavior that would be nigh impossible to recreate perfectly in a controlled lab setting.

Field research can have its disadvantages as well, as it is very hard to only have one thing change (make an independent variable) in a wild environment with ever-changing weather, social effects, etc. Also, you, as the researcher, as causing an impact on the very location that you are observing, which can alter your results in unpredictable ways.

The thing to remember is that each type of study has its advantages and disadvantages; if they didn't, then we'd all do the same type of research! You have to weigh your research options and figure out which one works best for your situation :)

A barium hydroxide solution is prepared by dissolving 2.06 g of Ba(OH)2 in water to make 32.9 mL of solution. What is the concen

navik [9.2K]

Answer: 1.36 M

Explanation:

Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of the solution.

$Molarity=\frac{n\times 1000}{V_s}$

where,

n = moles of solute

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

moles of solute= $\frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {molar mass}}=\frac{2.06g}{171g/mol}=0.0120moles$

$Molarity=\frac{0.0120\times 1000}{32.9}=0.364M$

The balanced reaction between barium hydroxide and perchloric acid:

$2HCIO_4+Ba(OH_)2\rightarrow BaCIO_4+2H_2O$

To calculate the concentration of acid, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

$n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2$

where,

$n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is $HClO_4$

$n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is $Ba(OH)_2$

We are given:

$n_1=1\\M_1=?\\V_1=8.50mL\\n_2=2\\M_2=0.364M\\V_2=15.9mL$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1\times M_1\times 8.50=2\times 0.364\times 15.9\\\\M_1=1.36M$

Thus the concentration of the acid is 1.36 M

Swimming pool structures and structural _____ [680.26(B)(1) and (B)(2)] shall not be used as a grounding electrode.

leonid [27]

A grounding electrode is any object that directly links to the earth. They are most times used to divert electricity from the elements.

Swimming pool structures and structural <u>reinforcing steel. 250.52(B)(3)</u><u>,</u> [680.26(B)(1), and (B)(2)] shall not be used as a grounding electrode.

In code 250.52(B)(3) it is clearly specified that the bonding grid and reinforcing steel that is related to a pool should not be used as grounding electrodes.

This is essential because when a metal that lies beneath a swimming pool is used as a grounding electrode, current from nearby electrical systems can be introduced into the pool.

This could cause the electrocution of anybody in the swimming pool at that time.
