Why do scientists communicate their results in written reports?

2 answers:

7 0

Publishing results of research projects in peer-reviewed journals enables the scientific and medical community to evaluate the findings themselves. It also provides instructions so that other researchers can repeat the experiment or build on it to verify and confirm the results. The answer should be B.

Suppose, in an experiment to determine the amount of sodium hypochlorite in bleach, you titrated a 26.34 mL sample of 0.0100 M K

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

0.1 M

Explanation:

The overall balanced reaction equation for the process is;

IO3^- (aq)+ 6H^+(aq) + 6S2O3^2-(aq) → I-(aq) + 3S4O6^2-(aq) + 3H2O(l)

Generally, we must note that;

1 mol of IO3^- require 6 moles of S2O3^2-

Thus;

n (iodate) = n(thiosulfate)/6

C(iodate) x V(iodate) = C(thiosulfate) x V(thiosulfate)/6

Concentration of iodate C(iodate)= 0.0100 M

Volume of iodate= V(iodate)= 26.34 ml

Concentration of thiosulphate= C(thiosulfate)= the unknown

Volume of thiosulphate=V(thiosulfate)= 15.51 ml

Hence;

C(iodate) x V(iodate) × 6/V(thiosulfate) = C(thiosulfate)

0.0100 M × 26.34 ml × 6/15.51 ml = 0.1 M

How many SO32- ions are contained in 99.6 mg of Na2SO3? The molar mass of Na2SO3 is 126.05 g/mol.

DochEvi [55]

99.6 mg= .0996 g
.0996g x (1mol/125.05g) x (1 mol SO3/1 mol Na2SO2) x (6.02 x 10^22/1mol SO3) = 4.79 x 10^19 SO32- ions

andre [41]

Answer:

Energy transfers from the metal to the water and calorimeter until they are all at room temperature.

Explanation:

CHECK THE COMPLETE QUESTION BELOW;

A metal sample is heated and placed into the water in a calorimeter at room temperature. Which statement best describes how the calorimeter can be used to determine the specific heat capacity of the metal sample?

Energy transfers to the metal from the water and calorimeter until they are all at room temperature

. Energy transfers from the metal to the water and calorimeter until they are all at room temperature.

Energy transfers to the metal from the water and calorimeter until they all reach a single temperature.

Energy transfers from the metal to the water and calorimeter until they all reach a single temperature.

EXPLANATION;

Using calorimeter to determine the specific heat capacity of the metal sample can be associated to the theory of conservation of energy because heat which is a form of energy is been transfer of heat between the metal to the water and the calorimeter, this process will proceed till single temperature is attained.

The change in the amount of temperature of the water in the calorimeter is measured in order to get the difference in heat change of the calorimeter water.

CHANGE IN HEAT CAN BE CALCULATED USING THE FORMULA.

Q = cmΔT where Q is the change in heat , c is the specific heat capacity and ΔT is the change in temperature

This is the chemical formula for methyl acetate: CH32CO2. Calculate the mass percent of hydrogen in methyl acetate. Round your a

WITCHER [35]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass percent of hydrogen in methyl acetate is 8 %

<u>Explanation:</u>

The given chemical formula of methyl acetate is $CH_3COOCH_3$

To calculate the mass percentage of hydrogen in methyl acetate, we use the equation:

$\text{Mass percent of hydrogen}=\frac{\text{Mass of hydrogen}}{\text{Mass of methyl acetate}}\times 100$

Mass of hydrogen = (6 × 1) = 6 g

Mass of methyl acetate = [(3 × 12) + (6 × 1) + (2 × 16)] = 74 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Mass percent of hydrogen}=\frac{6g}{74g}\times 100=8.10\%=8\%$

Hence, the mass percent of hydrogen in methyl acetate is 8 %

(b) When a sample of C2H5OH was combusted, the volume of CO2(g) produced was 18.0 L when measured at

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

i) The number of moles of CO₂ (g) produced from the reaction = 0.07663 mole

ii) The volume of C₂H₅OH (l), in mL, that was combusted to produce the volume of CO₂ (g)

collected = 2.234 mL

iii) The amount of heat, in KJ, that was released by the combustion reaction = 52.4 kJ

Explanation:

The balanced chemical reaction when ethanol is combusted is given as

C₂H₅OH (l) + 3O₂ (g) → 2CO₂ (g) + 3H₂O (g)

The volume of CO₂(g) produced was 18.0 L when measured at 21.7°C and 1.03 atm.

i) Number of moles of CO₂ (g) produced by the reaction

With the correct and logical assumption that CO₂ is an ideal gas, the ideal gas equation has the relation

PV = nRT

P = pressure = 1.03 atm = 1.03 × 101325 Pa = 10,435.96 Pa

V = Volume of the gas = 18.0 L = 0.018 m³

n = number of moles = ?

R = molar gas constant = 8.314 J/mol.K

T = absolute temperature in Kelvin = 21.7 + 273.15 = 294.85 K

(10,435.96 × 0.018) = n × 8.314 × 294.85

n = 0.076629106 = 0.07663 mole

ii) The volume of C₂H₅OH (l), in mL, that was combusted to produce the volume of CO₂(g)

collected.

Recall the stoichiometric balance of the reaction

C₂H₅OH (l) + 3O₂ (g) → 2CO₂ (g) + 3H₂O (g)

2 moles of CO₂ is obtained from 1 mole of C₂H₅OH

0.07663 mole of CO₂ will be obtained from (0.07663×1/2) mole of C₂H₅OH; that is, 0.03831 mole of C₂H₅OH.

But we can convert this number of moles used up to mass of C₂H₅OH produced

Mass = (Number of moles) × (Molar Mass)

Molar mass of C₂H₅OH = 46.07 g/mol

Mass of C₂H₅OH combusted from the reaction

= 0.03831 × 46.07 = 1.765 g

But density of C₂H₅OH = 0.79 g/mL

Density = (Mass)/(Volume)

Volume = (Mass)/(Density) = (1.765/0.79)

= 2.234 mL

iii) The amount of heat, in KJ, that was released by the combustion reaction.

The heat of combustion of C₂H₅OH at the temperature of the reaction = -1367.6 kJ/mol. (From literature)

1 mole of C₂H₅OH combusts to give 1367.6 kJ of heat

0.03831 mole of C₂H₅OH will give (0.03831×1367.6) = 52.39 kJ = 52.4 kJ

Hope this Helps!!!!
