(b)
A sampling plan is necessary to ensure that a laboratory sample is truly a
representative of the entire population.
(i)
Describe the goals of the sampling plan.
"It is possible to determine whether the population is homogeneous or
heterogeneous if a single sample is collected and analyzed." Comment
on this statement.
(ii)
"In order for people to survive and grow as individuals, they have to overcome their obstacles and challenges and this can be done by using or finding the right people that can be helpful when overcoming the challenges."Is this thesis statment gramitically correct? If not, can you fix it please (What I'm trying to say is that: People need to overcome their challanges to live a good life and people need the help of others in overcoming their challanges.)
Which of the following is a chemical change? Explain your reasoning:
(a) boiling canned soup;
(b) toasting a slice of bread;
(c) chopping a log;
(d) burning a log.

- Some scientists think there are living things smaller than bacteria (New York Times, January 18, 2000, p. D1). Called nanobes, they are roughly cylindrical and range from 20 to 150 nm long and about 10 nm in diameter. One approach to determining whether nanobes are living is to estimate how many atoms and molecules could make up a nanobe. If the number is too small, then there would not be enough DNA, protein, and other biological molecules to carry out life processes. To test this method, estimate an upper limit for the number of atoms that could be in a nanobe. (Use a small atom, such as hydrogen.) Also estimate how many protein molecules could fit inside a nanobe. Do your estimates rule out the possibility that a nanobe could be living? Explain why or why not.arrow_forwardWhat is meant by the phrase sustainable development?arrow_forward1-12 The life expectancy of a citizen in the United States is 76 years.

- A construction team gives an estimate of three months to repave a large stretch of a very busy road with their core crew of 9 people. The government responds that it is too much of an inconvenience to have this busy road obstructed for three months, so the job must be completed in one month. If the relationship between construction time and crew members is inversely proportional, how many crew members does the construction team need if they are to complete the job in one month? Express your answer as an integer.arrow_forwardWHAT WILL YOU DO? In the final round of The Battle of Geniuses, you and your competitors were asked to guess the number of grains of rice in a 100 kg sack of rice. The contestant whose guess is closest to the actual number will win the prestigious prize, trophy, and a lifetime supply of rice :). How could you prepare for such a contest without actually counting the grains in a 100kg sack of rice? Ps. This question can be answered in relation of your knowledge about mole (of an atom). So, apply your knowledge about mole to answer this question.arrow_forwardThe main type of separation techniques are thickening (water removed from product),Evaporation (separation of two liquids), Filtration (separation of solid particles from liquid) what characterizes them and what is the main difference between them and effect they have on food?arrow_forward
- Richards and Williard determined the molar mass of lithium and collected the following data (a) Find the mean molar mass determined by these workers. (b) Find the median molar mass (c) Assuming that the currently accepted value for the molar mass of lithium is the true value, calculate the absolute error and the present relative error of the mean value determined by Richards and Williard. (f) What factors have led to changes in molar mass since 191? (g) How would you determine the accuracy of a molar mass?

In 2019, the United States burned enough coal to supply 1.1 x 1019 J of energy. Assuming that coal is roughly 100% carbon, how many molecules of carbon dioxide did the U.S. produce by burning coal in 2019? Less than 1036 molecules of carbon dioxide.
