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 :)

What effect does the anion of an ionic compound have on the appearance of the solution?

choli [55]

Answer: B. The anion affects the color of the solution more than the intensity of the color.

Explanation:

An ionic bond is gotten when an electron is transferred from a metal atom to a non-metal one. It should be noted that the ionic bonds simply has an anion and a cation.

An anion is formed when a valence election is gained by a non metal while a cation is formed when the metal ion misplaces a valence electron.

The effect of the anion of an ionic compound on the appearance of the solution is that the anion affects the color of the solution more than the intensity of the color.

The concentration of a saturated BaCl2 solution is 1.75 M (mol/liter) and the concentration of a saturated Na2SO4 solution is 2.

Kitty [74]

Answer:

a) The theoretical yield is 408.45g of $BaSO_{4}$

b) Percent yield = $\frac{realyield}{408.45g}*100$

Explanation:

1. First determine the numer of moles of $BaCl_{2}$ and $Na_{2}SO_{4}$ .

Molarity is expressed as:

M= $\frac{molessolute}{Lsolution}$

- For the $BaCl_{2}$

M= $\frac{1.75molesBaCl_{2}}{1Lsolution}$

Therefore there are 1.75 moles of $BaCl_{2}$

- For the $Na_{2}SO_{4}$

M= $\frac{2.0moles[tex]Na_{2}SO_{4}$ }{1Lsolution}[/tex]

Therefore there are 2.0 moles of $Na_{2}SO_{4}$

2. Write the balanced chemical equation for the synthesis of the barium white pigment, $BaSO_{4}$ :

$BaCl_{2}+Na_{2}SO_{4}=BaSO_{4}+2NaCl$

3. Determine the limiting reagent.

To determine the limiting reagent divide the number of moles by the stoichiometric coefficient of each compound:

- For the $BaCl_{2}$ :

$\frac{1.75}{1}=1.75$

- For the $Na_{2}SO_{4}$ :

$\frac{2.0}{1}=2.0$

As the $BaCl_{2}$ is the smalles quantity, this is the limiting reagent.

4. Calculate the mass in grams of the barium white pigment produced from the limiting reagent.

$1.75molesBaCl_{2}*\frac{1molBaSO_{4}}{1molBaCl_{2}}*\frac{233.4gBaSO_{4}}{1molBaSO_{4}}=408.45gBaSO_{4}$

5. The percent yield for your synthesis of the barium white pigment will be calculated using the following equation:

Percent yield = $\frac{realyield}{theoreticalyield}*100$

Percent yield = $\frac{realyield}{408.45g}*100$

The real yield is the quantity of barium white pigment you obtained in the laboratory.

When the temperature of the gas changes from cold to hot, the amount of pressure is ___________.

Klio2033 [76]

The pressure would increase. When the temperature change form cold to hot, the gas will find ways to escape from containment. Thus, if it cannot escape that pressure will keep on increasing as the temperature rises.
