Which of the following guidelines should be used when collecting data during an

experiment? - Answer✔️✔️-Vary only one factor at a time when studying how a system

responds.


Which of the following is equivalent to 1 × 10*-3 g? - Answer✔️✔️-1 milligram

Which of the following characteristics is most important in demonstrating that a

hypothesis should be called a theory? - Answer✔️✔️-It provides an explanation for the

results of many experiments.

Answer the question below by clicking on the correct response.



Question:



Jar 1: Open to air

Jar 2: Opening of jar tightly closed

Jar 3: Opening of jar covered with fine mesh

In an attempt to disprove the belief that living things, such as maggots, can originate

spontaneously from decaying meat, fresh meat was placed in jars as shown above. The

hypothesis that flies are the source of maggots that appear on decaying meat would

best be supported if maggots are later found in which jar? - Answer✔️✔️-Option (A) is

correct. "Maggot" is the common name for the larvae of certain species of flies, in

particular, those that lay their eggs on fresh meat or carrion. Since flies would not be

able to enter jars 2 or 3 to lay eggs on the meat, maggots would be expected to be

found only in jar 1. Francesco Redi conducted this experiment in the seventeenth

century, thus disproving the theory of spontaneous generation.

A thermometer inserted into a solution has a mercury level of just a bit less than halfway

between the markings for 22.4ºC22 point 4 degrees Celsius and 22.5ºC22 point 5

degrees Celsius. To represent the correct number of significant figures, the temperature

of the solution should be recorded as - Answer✔️✔️-C. 22.44 For any marked measuring

device, one place beyond the numerical place of the marking is estimated, and this

determines the correct number of significant figures. If the thermometer is marked to

0.1°Czero point one degrees Celsius, the hundredth place should be estimated and the

temperature recorded as 22.44°C22 point four four degrees Celsius.

Experimental evidence supports the fact that most of the mass of an atom is contained

in which of the following? - Answer✔️✔️-B.The nucleus Option (B) is correct. Ernest

Rutherford published results of his gold foil experiment in 1911. A beam of alpha

particles was directed at a thin sheet of gold foil. Most of the particles passed through

the foil, but some were reflected or deflected, providing experimental evidence that the

atom has a relatively small nucleus that contains most of the mass of the atom.

A student placed 20 radish seeds on a damp paper towel in a petri dish and placed the

dish under a fluorescent light. After 48 hours, all the seeds had germinated. In order for

the student to draw a valid conclusion about the effect of water on seed germination,

which of the following should also have been included in the investigation? -

Answer✔️✔️-In order to draw a valid conclusion about the effect of water on seed

germination, the student should have included a control experiment, a second dish with

a dry paper towel, in the investigation. The only experimental variable should be the

presence or absence of water. The control variables, light and temperature, should be

the same for both dishes. C.A second dish with a dry, rather than damp, paper towel

should have been used.

Which of the following will result in a solution of 0.50 M HClzero point five zero molar H

C l ? - Answer✔️✔️-A.250 mL of 2.0 M HCl added to 750 mL H2O

The concentration of the solution that results from adding 250 mL of 2.0 M HCl to 750

mL7 of water is 0.50 M. In 250 mL of 2.0 M HCl, there is

0.50 mol of HCl. The total volume after mixing is 1,000 mL or 1.0 L. The concentration

of the solution is 0.50 mol HCl per 1.0 L of solution, which is 0.50 M HCl.

The number of sunspots on the surface of the Sun increases and decreases over an 11-

year period called the solar cycle. The graph above shows how the number of sunspots

varied over 50 years. When will the next minimum and the next maximum in the number

of sunspots most likely occur? - Answer✔️✔️-C.C: data point for the 6-foot drop does not

seem to fit the pattern and the drop should be repeated

Which of the following parts of a compound microscope would be used to regulate the

amount of light transmitted through the specimen on a slide? - Answer✔️✔️-Diaphragm

Which of the following is a safe laboratory procedure? - Answer✔️✔️-Preparing a dilute

acid solution by adding a small amount of concentrated acid to water in a flask.
