Apollo 17 astronauts eugene cernan and harrison schmitt collected the last samples of moon rocks to bring back to earth in 1972 The astronauts took measurements of the moon rocks using three categories not affected by gravity this is because the earth and moon have different forces of gravity which measurement did they not use?



A-Volume
B-Weight
C-Mass
D-Density

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is B

Explanation:

This question seeks to test the difference between mass and weight.

Mass is a measurement of the amount of matter present in an object. While weight is a measurement of the force of gravity pulling (the mass of) an object. Hence, measuring the weight of the moon rocks in the moon might be a waste since the weight of the object on earth will produce a different value due to the difference in the force of gravity between the earth and the moon.

CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O In the chemical reaction, if 10 moles of H2O are produced, moles of CO2 are also produced

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is 5 moles of CO2 are produced.

Explanation:

The given reaction:  

CH₄ (g) + 2O₂ (g) ⇔ CO₂ (g) + 2H₂O (g)

The given reaction is an illustration of a combustion reaction. Any reaction in which a substance is burnt in excess of oxygen to generate water and carbon dioxide is termed as a combustion reaction. From the given equation, it is clear that the moles of the formation of the products are in the ratio 1: 2, that is, if 10 moles of H₂O is produced, the production of 5 moles of CO₂ will be produced.  

Let us multiply, the given equation with 5 we get,  

5CH₄ + 10O₂ ⇔ 5CO₂ + 10H₂O

Hence, it is clear that with the formation of 10 moles of H₂O, formation of 5 moles of CO₂ will also take place.  

Why is particle size the main parameter used in selecting a mechanical phase-separation device?

Answers

Answer:

0.2 moles de SO₂

Explanation:

La reaccción es:

2H₂S (g) +  3O₂ (g)  →  2SO₂ (g)  +  2H₂O(g)

Asumimos que tenemos 0.250 moles de sulfuro y 0.3 moles de oxígeno.

En primer lugar tenemos que averiguar el reactivo limitante.

Si 2 moles de sulfuro de hidrógeno reaccionan con 3 moles de oxígeno, según la reacción.

Entonces 0.250 moles, reaccionarían con (0.250 . 3) /2 = 0.375moles

Tenemos entonces 0.3 moles de oxígeno y necesitamos 0.375 (no nos alcanza). Por lo tanto el O₂ es el limitante y ahora podemos calcular el producto formado. La ecuación nos dice:

3 moles de oxígeno pueden producir dos moles de SO₂

Entonces 0.3 moles (que son los que tenemos) de O₂ producirían:

(0.3 . 2) /3 = 0.2 moles de SO₂

Explanation: because the experiment showed

Compound A, C6H12O2, was found to be optically active, and it was slowly oxidized to an optically active carboxylic acid B, C6H12O3, by Ag(NH3)2. Oxidation of A by anhydrous CrO3 gave an optically inactive compound D that reacted with Zn amalgam/HCl to give 3-methylpentane. With aqueous H2CrO4, compound A was oxidized to an optically inactive dicarboxylic acid C, C6H10O4. Give structures for compounds A, B, and C; do not specify stereochemistry.

Answers

Answer:

kindly check the attach file for the drawing of the chemical structures.

Explanation:

So, we are going to start from the compound D, which is stated in the question to be optically active. Therefore, we will have that:

STEP ONE: THE OXIDATION OF COMPOUND A, C6H12O2 TO GIVE COMPOUND C.

The oxidation of compound A,C6H12O2 gives another chemical compound that is chemical compound C which is a optical inactive di-carboxylic acid. The chemical equation is given below:

C6H12O2 + H2Cr2O4 --------------------------------------------> HOOCCH2CHCH3CH2COOH.

STEP TWO: THE OXIDATION OF COMPOUND A, C6H12O2 TO GIVE COMPOUND B.

The oxidation of compound A,C6H12O2 gives another chemical compound that is chemical compound C which is a optically active acid. The chemical equation is given below:

C6H12O2 + Ag(NH3)2^+ -----------------------------> C6H12O3.

Since the question asked us to give the structures of Compound A,B and C there is no need to to show the chemical reaction for compound D.

Scientific method quick check

Answers

Answer:

Quick you said:

-Purpose/Question

Ask a question.

-Research

Conduct background research. Write down your sources so you can cite your references. In the modern era, a lot of your research may be conducted online. Scroll to the bottom of articles to check the references. Even if you can't access the full text of a published article, you can usually view the abstract to see the summary of other experiments. Interview experts on a topic. The more you know about a subject, the easier it will be to conduct your investigation.

-Hypothesis

Propose a hypothesis. This is a sort of educated guess about what you expect. It is a statement used to predict the outcome of an experiment. Usually, a hypothesis is written in terms of cause and effect. Alternatively, it may describe the relationship between two phenomena. One type of hypothesis is the null hypothesis or the no-difference hypothesis. This is an easy type of hypothesis to test because it assumes changing a variable will have no effect on the outcome. In reality, you probably expect a change but rejecting a hypothesis may be more useful than accepting one.

-Experiment

Design and perform an experiment to test your hypothesis. An experiment has an independent and dependent variable. You change or control the independent variable and record the effect it has on the dependent variable. It's important to change only one variable for an experiment rather than try to combine the effects of variables in an experiment. For example, if you want to test the effects of light intensity and fertilizer concentration on the growth rate of a plant, you're really looking at two separate experiments.

-Data/Analysis

Record observations and analyze the meaning of the data. Often, you'll prepare a table or graph of the data. Don't throw out data points you think are bad or that don't support your predictions. Some of the most incredible discoveries in science were made because the data looked wrong! Once you have the data, you may need to perform a mathematical analysis to support or refute your hypothesis.

-Conclusion

Conclude whether to accept or reject your hypothesis. There is no right or wrong outcome to an experiment, so either result is fine. Accepting a hypothesis does not necessarily mean it's correct! Sometimes repeating an experiment may give a different result. In other cases, a hypothesis may predict an outcome, yet you might draw an incorrect conclusion. Communicate your results. The results may be compiled into a lab report or formally submitted as a paper. Whether you accept or reject the hypothesis, you likely learned something about the subject and may wish to revise the original hypothesis or form a new one for a future experiment.

Suppose a compound is involved in three different reactions denoted R1, R2, and R3. Tripling the concentration of this reactant in all three reactions causes the rates of reaction to increase by factors of 3, 9, and 1, respectively. What is the order of each reaction with respect to this reactant? 1. R1 = 1; R2 = 2; R3 = 0

Answers

Answer:

The order of reaction is as follows, R1 = 1; R2 = 2; R3 = 0

Explanation:

The rate of a chemical reaction is the number of moles of reactants consumed per unit time or the number of moles of products formed per unit. the rate of a chemical reaction is affected by the concentration of reactants

The relationship between the rate of a chemical reaction and the concentration of its reactants is given by the rate law or equation.

Generally, the rate equation is given as;

Rate = k[A]ᵃ[B]ᵇ..., where k = rate constant which is independent of concentration of the reactants, [A] = concentration of reactant A, a = order of reaction A, [B] = concentration of reaction B, b = order of reaction B.

For the given reactions R1, R2 and R3

For R1; rate = 3, Concentration = 3[A]

3 = k[A]3ˣ

3¹ = k[A]3ˣ

Since rate is proportional to concentration, therefore, the order of reaction, x = 1

For R2; rate = 9, Concentration = 3[A]

9 = k[A]3ˣ

3² = k[A]3ˣ

Since rate is proportional to concentration, therefore, the order of reaction, x = 2

For R1; rate = 1, Concentration = 3[A]

1 = k[A]3ˣ

3⁰ = k[A]3ˣ

Since rate is proportional to concentration, therefore, the order of reaction, x = 0

Therefore, the order of reaction is as follows, R1 = 1; R2 = 2; R3 = 0

C. The weight loss medication worked for 95 out of the 100 test subjects, while only 15 of the 100 control subjects lost weight.

D. The weight loss results were replicated by scientists conducting a study at an independent institution

The correct option would be that the scientists and all test subjects involved in the investigation work for the company that sells the medication.

When selecting the test subjects for research, the selection must be as random as possible so as to ensure an unbiased outcome and increase the reliability of the research.

Limiting the test subjects to those that work in the company that sells the medication will generally reduce the reliability of the outcome because of element of bias that can be introduced either knowingly or unknowingly.

Please answer this correctly without making mistakes Nights and Dragons From the memoir of author Abigail Prynne 1 I sit at my desk listening to thunder growl outside my window. Flashes of light burst through the darkness, and wind races past my window. The thrilling combination of sight and sound conjures up visions of dragons roaring proudly, breathing fire, and soaring across the midnight sky. Dragons first fascinated me when I was a little girl. They have followed me ever since. The magnificent creatures appeared in storybooks I read in the library, paintings I saw in museums, movies I watched in the theater, and the dreams I had in my sleep. By the time I was thirteen, one question consumed me. I wanted to know if dragons ever existed, so I set out on a quest for facts. 2 As I started my research, I discovered many skeptics. Scientists presented evidence to show why dragons could notand did notexist. They explained that it would be impossible for dragons to fly because they would be too big. They laughed at the idea of dragons breathing fire. They pointed out that no other animal has ever done this. They said that if dragons had lived, someone would have found remains somewhere in the world. No bones about it, there were plenty of logical explanations. It would have been easy for me to accept that the only place dragons ever existed was in the imaginations of those who believed. 3 I could have given up, but I thought about my grandmother. She always told me that "people who believe that science is the answer to everything are missing out on everything else." With her words in mind, I searched some more. There were many facts that hinted that dragons may not be fictional. I noticed that cultures across the world all described dragons in similar ways. This was odd because they had no way to communicate with each other. I found dragons mentioned in more than just stories. They appeared in old legal papers, in the travel logs of Marco Polo, and in the Bible. I saw that the Chinese calendar uses a different animal each year. Dragons are included along with eleven real animals. I began to believe it was a real possibility that all of these people were talking about a creature that actually existed. 4 With renewed hope that there was some truth to the legends, I looked for new research. I found that some experts disagreed with popular arguments against dragons. They suggested that a dragon could have four stomachs like a cow. If it created stomach gases like birds, it might create enough to lift itself off the ground. This would give it the ability to fly. If it forced out air when diving toward the earth, it might release gases which could ignite into flame. When the animal died, the stomachs would release strong acids that would dissolve its dead body over time. Biologists backed up these ideas with sketches and models based on known animals. Not everyone agreed with these ideas, but many of the things we accept about dinosaurs and other extinct species started the same way. 5 I doubt we will ever truly know whether dragons existed.
