If the results of an experiment to test your hypothesis show your hypothesis to be wrong: O the experiment was a failure. O you can make a new hypothesis and test it! O you need to redo your experiment until you prove your hypothesis correct! O you didn't follow the scientific method. O You can just fake your results

In the lab you weigh 12.54 g of NaCl to make a stock solution of 5.12 M. To further dilute the solution to 100.0 mL of 0.125 M, how much of the stock solution do you need? Give your answer in mL. Use correct number of significant figures.
A manufacturer of paint claims that a gallon (3.78 L) of latex paint can cover 365 ft2 of the surface of a wall in a single coating. The paint manufacturer also claims that one single coating of an entire wall will be 3.40 mm thick. Is this a case of false advertising? Yes or No? Elaborate your answer by providing a calculation (handwritten, upload a pdf). You may use the following conversions: 12 in = 1 ft, 2.54 cm = 1 in

A student sets up the following equation to convert a measurement. (The ? stands for a number the student is going to calculate.) Fill in the missing part of this equation. Note: your answer should be in the form of one or more fractions multiplied together. 0.080 mmol - °C 0 = ? mol. °C 10 0.0 X μ DO
Aqueous hydrochloric acid (HC1) will react with solid sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to produce aqueous sodium chloride (NaCl) and liquid water (H₂O). Suppose 31. g of hydrochloric acid is mixed with 11.4 g of sodium hydroxide. Calculate the minimum mass of hydrochloric acid that could be left over by the chemical reaction. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits. 0 x10 X S
Gaseous butane (CH₂(CH₂)2 CH3) will react with gaseous oxygen (0₂) to produce gaseous carbon dioxide (CO₂) and gaseous water (H₂O). Suppose 22. g of butane is mixed with 41.1 g of oxygen. Calculate the minimum mass of butane that could be left over by the chemical reaction. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
When adding or dividing measured numbers, we don’t count significant figures. Instead, we look at the precision of the measured numbers. The answer can only be as precise as the least precise measurement.
